My mother has always been my best travel partner..I mean she jumps at every chance she gets to travel with me and i love her for that.It feels good to be chosen right!!!

She makes sure we sleep less while on a trip and she just takes it all in ,every minute of it, in a way i have never seen anyone else do.

So when i planned a trip to South goa last weekend( which happened to be my bday week),i had no trouble deciding on who to ask to tag along.But she couldnot make it this time and i ended up travelling alone.

And maaaan, this one turned out to be the best ever(no offence mom!!))

I mean i never felt half this content, happy or free on my wedding day even(considering how a million people were invited for the wedding, that shouldnt come across as a shocker)

Even when the sun almost barbecued me or when i spilled mexican rice all over myself and some over the guy next to me on the flight or when i could not click pictures of some moments i wanted to freeze for a lifetime or when none of the beachwear i had fit me or when i semidrowned in the pool in the middle of the night or when the route to the beach was damp and dark,i wasnt for a moment unhappy or wishing for someone beside me.

My bestfriend called me on my first night there and told me that if i had known i had it in me to enjoy my own company to this extend, i could have saved myself from a lot growing up. And i cant agree with her more on this.

I will forever remember how the cool breeze that brushed against my sunburnt skin felt like a gentle hug,how i walked barefoot squishing my toes on the wet sand all the way, how i sat there for a very long time listening to the waves hit the shore,how i walked all the way to JOEL’s cafe for an iced tea which tasted like little drops of heaven trickling down my parched throat at the time,how damp the route was on the way back to the hotel, how a couple of stray dogs kept me company on the way back, how the rusty gate to the beach squeaked when i closed it shut , how i dressed up for dinner,how i got drunk on wine,how i almost drowned trying to swim in the pool, how i made friends with Linn,how a very long hot shower felt like at the end of the day and most importantly how entirely ecstatic i felt knowing i had it in me to love my own company to the extend that amazed the crap out of me to say the least.

Thankyou universe!!!My 29th birthday weekend will never be forgotten as long as i shall live!!!!
