GOA a state in India, so small that if any 6 footer spreads his/her legs, they could easily cover both the ends of the state..... that small a state which is covered with the blue water anywhere and everywhere and also with the white water, brown water , the red water (the colour depends on your brand)... but the purpose of this blog is neither to detail the beauty of the place nor to describe the trip that i had made a couple of weeks back with my friends to this place... but rather to share a different thought that passed my mind in all the days i was there ...
The thought struck me for the first time, when i was all alone in the beach at 2AM with a beer in one hand and a stone in the other hand, basically to throw at the dogs that came sniffing thinking that i am a junk piece of flesh gazing at the endless ocean half asleep and half drunk in the depth of the night. That night, in my semi sleepy n partly sober self, i noticed a group of men, in their mid 30's, same as my mood ..half drunk screaming at the top of their voice about life and how to enjoy them,,,, n how they enjoy it that time and how they plan to enjoy for the rest of the time they were there in that place. They were singing loudly, some were howling, they were the sloshed ones, my active sober self told me that, the others were laughing out loud for the silliest of the jokes that their friends cracked..
The thought crossed my mind "What causes the humans to be so free and so happy when they are in a vacation".. yes yes i know there are a lot of reasons for this question like, they are free to do what they want and how they want it... or perhaps they know that they have come here to enjoy and have fun..etc etc.. but when my partly drunk mind asked the same question to my party sober mind, i got the answer...it is because before start their vacation, they themselves convince their mind that they are going to enjoy, they are going to have a blast of a lifetime and that there is no place for worries and tensions during this period... yes a decision every human would have made either knowingly or unknowingly before they even start deciding about their vacation....
So then if this is the case, my partly drunk mind was curious, why cant every human make this decision at the start of every day...convince your mind that today its the start of a vacation n there is no place for worries n tensions....but by that time i had finished the beer...n my partly sober had undergone a significant change... it did not answer...
