I feel I now know why we need to take holidays.
The metro cities force us to live and work in enclosed and stifling
burrows. Each day we have a false sense of delight looking at how luxurious our
burrow is or the growing number of amenities which we surround ourselves with. Once
out of the burrows, we struggle through traffic laden roads to get to our air
tight work places. And then we revel in competing in the number of fancy feeding
places we’ve been to. The façade goes on, goes on till you go somewhere near
nature.
If you look closely at the vast hills, exotic greens or expansive
waters, close your eyes and think...it is humbling. In spite of their magnanimity and greatness, there
always is a welcoming sense that is waiting to embrace you. And you are
suddenly hit with a mortifying feeling of being such a small and insignificant part of the
entire cosmos. As you intently listen to the absolute silence, it sounds sweet and awakening. As you breathe the untainted air, it seems to cleanse
you of all the imaginary ploys. The ploys, which you convince yourself, make
you proud and so elated.
So try to make as many trips for that journey within and to reboot yourself to modesty.
