Going past the horizon

Sometimes people do really random things just to get out of a rut. I, for one did exactly that. All of a sudden I was stuck in office all the time and working like an idiot. Efficiency was sub zero and the time spent in office was enormous. When I managed to pull my thoughts together, I realized that I have become a complete douchebag. So what do I do to get of this rut? Get back in time and get a hold of things again.
So one fine morning I wake up and realize that I need to get back to where I was a couple of years ago. I just logged on to the net and booked tickets to chennai without knowing why I was going there. This was something that I always wanted to do. A random trip without knowing why you are going. Well as time passed I began to call it an exploratory journey as people kept annoying me with questions as to why I came. People find it really hard to believe that some people just like to get away from things and just rollback in time. It really does astonish me.
The day I landed in chennai I was pretty excited about the things I'd do and as always I had expectations way beyond what was needed.
All that apart, must say it was quite a nice trip just going out and meeting people all the time. Some of the visits were really worth it. I had planned to go and visit a few studios which my friends had owned, sadly enough I did not visit them as I did not plan ahead.
Well, nonetheless I must say visits which are self-exploratory are a must for everyone. why? Well, for starters I am blogging again after a year or so. This is one way to show change, apart from this a lot of other things are happening which are for the good.
I look forward to make such trips again and meet random people rather than just going to someplace with 5 star resorts and hotels and living a life consumed in one's own ego.
A friend of mine narrated a story of how he went to a secluded location near banglore and turned off his phone and just lived peacefully. That is something that I really wish to try out. Obviously, a lot of hardships can be expected, yet there is nothing impossible and for all you know the more you push yourself, you might just land up finding a better person within!
Cheers!
