Get rid of this machine life

          Get up at 7:00 AM in the morning, have a cup of tea at home and reach office. It is going to be a long day at office when we just think of the day ahead. You check mails ( Officially unnecessary mails for work ), get fed up with your assignments and you feel nothing happens out of a cup of coffee too. Get to eat something for a lunch and a cup of coffee in the evening and the day ends with an onsite call with some stranger in some other country who orders you work and obviously good at milking work.

          Is this what i am destined to do for the salary i am being paid from my company, yes would be the answer from my managers. But, is this the only thing in my life ? or do i have something that can act as a fuel to my machine life. Yes, we do have weekends where we don't have to do the routine things and can be ourselves. It was that kind of a Friday evening when i felt very odd, lonely, defeated, bored and like a machine. All the things just started to move into my head, all my bad memories in my life started to just pinch me at that time. The only thing that i had to blame was my machine like life which doesn't offer any thrill or excitement anymore.

       I decided then that this is the time for me to break free and go for a long ride on a weekend, i am sure none of my friends would come for a long ride and that too on a weekend with such a short notice. Then it was time for me to choose a place where i can really be peaceful and then decided it. It was nature that can give the best of the calmness. I just called up one of my close friend who has a similar wavelength like mine and decided a trip. 

      Got up at 5:00 AM on a Saturday and took my bike for a 100 KM ride to a waterfalls situated in the middle of a forest along with my friend. Felt like heaven when i started to ride my bike through the mountains, it was completely chilling and we were shivering badly. We were even waiting for the sun to come up and warm us up a bit, but the thick trees on the way did not let the light touch us. 

     Then came the most pleasing view of our trip, it was indeed the waterfalls and i just forgot the complete world. It was the beauty of the nature that spread my feelings totally.  The picture of this waterfalls is below,



      I could not resist myself from not entering into the water myself and when my feet touched the water that was flowing down through the wet rocks, it just felt like landing on an ice berg. The water was completely chilling and was a contrast for a hot summer and luckily i was enjoying every bit of it. I even pulled my friend into the water and we were just shivering. Then we returned back after spending half a day with the nature. 

      This was the day i felt that nature is one of the best gift from god and it depends on us to use it the way we want it to be. Now i will make sure that whenever i feel disappointed, i would offer a trip to a place where i can interact with the nature. This small little trip will fuel me atleast for the next 2 months completely.
