I have returned from srilanka a week ago but today only i have got some time to write something about my trip...writing all such experience is always very fascinating for me n quite special too as it gives a chance to recall all those beautiful moments which I have lived there with my special friends,,,,,,,,,,,
I have a desire to travel ,sometimes I feel i could travel forever through my country and i don’t think i will ever tire of ...our’s is a land of many people ,many races, ..for all Indians to be alike would be as dull as for all sexes to be the same or for all humans to be normal and believe me this diversity in people n countries is something that always excites me to travel more and more.......i t gibes me immense happiness when i meet new people,, see their culture,their art ,their traditions .i just love to get involved with them in their activities and travelling gives it all to me.....
National youth project gave me an opportunity to visit srilanka for a south Asia youth peace camp..I started my journey enthusiastically on 15th dec with many hopes and aspirations. In the train i dreamt of how my next 15 days would be like...travelling in railways is always very special for me as one gets chance to cross many states, to meet many people from across the country in a single journey.......met gunjan ,a native of bihar,a young future airmen of our country who was going to Bangalore to join the air force academy Also, met two very nice uncles, Mohd zafar n mohd. Kamar.who was with me throughout my journey till Chennai...i enjoy interacting with people as it gives me a chance to understand these people better ,to know their opinions ,to have a glimpse of their culture etc as they all belong to different walks of life....no matter how different some opinions are ,no matter how different their culture n living are from me but there is one thing common in all and that’s humanity. people say humanity is lost now a days but believe me i have found many people in dis journey, young or old who are more humane than anything,,,,,,,they are above religion, caste n creed. Gud to see that in reality, people in India are all above this religion n region debate which we usually watch in tv....
Reached Chennai on 17th dec. . felt blessed, when i got an opportunity to visit Tirupati Balaji temple (India’s well renowned temple),,,,,its an inexpressible feeling dat comes when u visit such places n specially when u see the idol, a numbness passes on the body.........
i am not at all religious,,i don’t believe in a particular religion.....as i believe religion somewhere divides us,.i wish people become spiritual instead of religious,,,neway that my personal comment..........being a spiritual person,,i felt that immense spirituality in tirupati,,,,,,its amazing to see thousands of people standing in queue for hours just to have a look of d lord govinda,,,,,,that faith always drives me on n that is what i love about us i.e Indians,,,,,(hamare pas chahe kuch bhi na ho lekin bhagwan pe vishwas jarur hota hai) ...however i never understood the concept of god in all religions....but whatever it is., this faith has a spirit that connects all of us in the name of god.........
i have always believed in powers.yes there are powers in the form of positive vibrations.they are all around us ,they guide us, they take care of us,,n tirupati is full of those miraculous vibrations............its such an amazing experience to be at tirupati,,,,,,,,i wish i could take my parents there soon......
On 18th dec i met many nyp people who had come form, many parts of India at world university centre, Chennai.,..however they were all unknown to me as all were from different states of India n i was meeting with them for the first time but still within minutes we all become friends n by the time of morning our diversified identity became one n we Indians headed to srilanka as a team...........
Srilanka is a beautiful country with beautiful people .The natural beauty of Sri Lanka has led to the title The Pearl of the Indian Ocean.] The island is laden with lush tropical forests, white beaches and diverse landscapes with rich biodiversity. The country lays claim to a long and colourful history of over three thousand years, having one of the longest documented histories in the world..............
I will rember My 10 days stay in srilanka throughout my life ....srilanka is the country where i met many youngsters from Bangladesh,Nepal,Maldives and America....(however didn’t got enough time to interact with all of them )but still its a wonderful experience to listen to them,to know about their countries n their culture....i have observed a common thing in everyone there,,,,,there is passion in everyone to be united, no one wants to be excluded....each representative of these 4 nations had an urge to be united n work collaborate for the betterment of south Asia n d world........
Words always fell short when one writes about his/her experience, there are many things untold ,many emotional moments unexpressed but still i have to conclude as it has already became very lengthy,,,,, i am indeed very thankful to Don Bosco college and all my srilankan friends for their immense support n love......missing u all......
I am full of gratitude to Mr. S.N SUBBA RAO for giving me this opportunity to see srilanka n meet such enthusiastic youngsters from the south Asia.,
Love n thanks to all my Indian campers for all their support n love during my stay (had an severe allergy problem there) .....
Above all thanks to everyone for making this camp a successful one......
Will write about my exploration in srilanka soon..........
