" I need a BREAK" I yelled almost every day in last two years. But I failed to find a proper break. I spent day after day without studying. I thought that it was my books I am tired of, though I was aware of the fact that I love books, I love words, I love reading, even the smell of the books, I love that. I could not find out the thing I am lacking. But I had to.
A few months ago I and my family made a trip to Hyderabad. When you belong from a middle-class family, a trip is not a usual thing. So I was happy that finally, we are going somewhere after a really long time. My love for travelling is always intense though I failed to grab enough opportunities to travel. So it was like meeting your beloved after a long bifurcation. I was excited and happy.
You know how the first two parts are connected? The thing I was lacking was Travelling. I don't know if it is everyone or just me but when I keep myself in the same place for a very long time, I feel tired, I feel the need for a break from the things and I would never discover this if this trip did not happen.
Before I left my house I promised myself that I am going to enjoy everything and be thankful for everything that would happen during the trip and not to regret a single thing I will not be able to do. I did so. I enjoyed the trip to the fullest. I strongly believe the fact that nothing happens without a reason. This was my first trip after I learned to learn things from every little thing. So it was quite special for me to actually being in a situation where I can spend a lot of time just by thinking, exploring and experiencing. I had a lot of time as it was a long journey and I took a novel with me. I decided to choose a book over the phone. Surprisingly I constantly read that without getting destructed. As I have mentioned before that I spent a long time in a hunger of a thing that can actually make me feel relaxed. I ignored my studies a lot and put myself in a habit of thinking that I am a lazy, unproductive and unfocused kind of person and badly became very comfortable with that thought. Your beliefs make you or break you in a lot of ways. If you feel like something is wrong, you should not just sit and get comfortable with it, you should take actions that can convert the wrong thing into the right.
Hyderabad taught me to live in the moment. Life is more about the little things. If you want to know a place, watch its people, taste local foods, go to the small gallies; the essence of a place is not there in flyovers and fancy showrooms. The gallies of The Laad Bazaar will make you happy with the delightful faces of the women buying colourful bangles and jewellery. The pigeons in Makka Masjid showers peace amidst cacophony. The Charminar taught me not to be afraid of taking a challenge if you have the thirst for something. The grandeur of the Golconda Fort channelled the energy into me. The marvellous architecture of the Birla Mandir taught me to appreciate everything in life; you never know what can be made even with the toughest rock. Even the auto driver's, a vendor's words can teach the value of smallest things. The Ramoji Film City where human hands have tried to present the world in its cocooned version utteres the deep passion for the creation of human race. This trip to Hyderabad has taught me to breathe again, to live, to smile back to people, to stay positive, to spread love and courage and smile.

There are so much to see, so much to feel. Every place is different in its own way. I believe you should go to a place where you have never been before, at least once a year, whether it is a village or a town with no 'importance' or a place holding grandeur of maharajas, There is so much to experience and you will surely fall in love with it. Life is too short to be lazy. Have the hunger of experience and do whatever you need to do for that. Every little thing teaches us a lot, learn to see them.
