A TRIP THAT BROUGHT ME CLOSER TO GOD
I was expecting a no by all means when I called my mom. I so
badly wanted to go on a small trip. I wanted to be there celebrating Onam at my
hostel mate’s place. So when I dialled my mom’s number I was having my fingers
crossed just so I hope she says a yes. For some odd reason I got the permission
to visit WAYANAD! One night spend there could be worth all the risk I took. I
know I live in a society where a girl is questioned for everything she do. And
I thank my parents and above all my lord for blessing me with this life. Had it
not been for such awesome parents I would not have been permitted to go
travelling. So thanks mom and dad.
Wayanad was a memory for me. Four years back a camp that
sort of changed hell a lot in my life. Memories were reborn the moment I
started travelling. The weather at this time of year in Wayanad is my all time
favourite weather. Pretty much cold and sunny with a bit of rain here and
there. I travelled by bus and at the last moment my elder bro was ready to
accompany me just for the bus ride.
Onam celebration was ending when I reached my friend’s
place. Still the SADHYA served in the banana leaf and all the variety curries
spread....yummy!! I also met some great people out there. I felt homely. Having
parents abroad and being here alone, the people over there made me feel like I
was at my own place. The relations between each member in the family made me
fall in love with everything Wayanad had to provide. I was not surprised to see
such a great family; I was happy, Happy to know that I am blessed somehow.
Though it was a short stay there I got closer to my lord. I
was given the chance to make myself evaluate me. The way back home I thought
about me, about my flaws, my dreams, my achievements, my fears. I was
speechless!
I still cannot believe that a trip could provide me with so
much. Family bonds, nature, relations, patience etc was brought in view to me.
Probably many reading this will be wondering if I landed
from the Stone Age. Maybe I did, or maybe I love what I experienced. If I get
the chance to spend some more days there, I would go back for sure. I would
love to stay there and enjoy every minute. It is not easy but I still won’t
mind.
Thanks to my friends for a great time and let your families
know big thanks for all the love and care.
Thank you umma and uppa for letting me have some good time.
Thank you, Shabana for encouraging me to go with you.
Thank you, Allah for providing me with an opportunity to get
closer to you. I love you!
