WooooooooooooHoooooooooooooooo

Guess what?? My dream came true! I went to Matheran with a couple of friends and my dearest boyfriend!! It was heaven!! We walked all the way up the mountain (approximately 8 kilometers) to Matheran! At times we searched for our own routes and climbed some parts of the mountain! I felt like an adventuress out to conquer the mountainous terrain!!! Awesome fun!! When we reached Matheran though, it started raining heavily and the hotel we had booked in didn't have running water as their motor shut down due to the rains! So our little group trudged through the rains and had a hot lunch which immediately soothed our weary, drenched and shivering (but still cheerful) souls. It was one heck of an experience! By the time we finally managed to find appropriate rooms, the better part of the day had passed us by! But we were warm and cozy, and we had a really good view and a crazy company. In short we continued to have a blast!!
We spent 2 days in an atmosphere full of fresh air and spunky jokes and then made our way downhill today morning. I just soaked in the cool air, the unpredictable rain, the prevailing fog and an adventure i had ached to be a part of. I felt so free that i was able to analyze every thought in my head, every dream in my mind, every sparkle of mischief in my imagination, every twinkle in the eyes of my amazing friends, every little mystery of nature, and all that makes life worth living. I have come back to the city today and i felt sad saying goodbye to Matheran but i feel like i have gone through a cleansing, a cleansing of my spirit, and i feel rejuvenated and at peace!
At one point when we were coming downhill, we just sat at the edge of a hill and gazed down at the valley below and thanked god for reminding us how lucky we are, to see and feel nature in a way that is enough to make anyone feel an inner sense of peace! We wondered and marveled at the beauty of the mountains before us, the calmness of the environment around us, the caressing sounds of the trees as if they were trying to soothe all your pains and sorrows, the simplicity of the people living in and near the hill station, and while i was looking and feeling these things i realized that unhappiness is so unnecessary and that we can deal with it by considering it to be trivial and temporary, coz there are so many beautiful people to meet and so many places to explore!! So, i decided that i don't really have time to be sad, every day of my life is packed with action and romance and every moment is a opportunity to discover new and exciting doorways that ultimately lead to joy!!
I would be glad if you would tell me about any adventures you have had!! Stay beautiful and keep smiling!!
