In Search of Peace | Part 4

Early morning 5.30 am, Amay was in deep sleep when the Bus Marshal wakes all of the passengers for the breakfast hault. Having Tea and Poha, they departed onwards our journey.

He was again woke up from my morning short nap as his stop had arrived. It was an exchange stop. The bus was heading towards Manali & Shoja was in different direction. Amay had to wait for my connecting cab for sometime. To utilize the time, he decided to have a cup of hot coffee against the cold temperature.

The view at the cafe was awesome; seating along side the river & watching the river flowing through the 2 mountains was a satisfying emotion. Amay was feeling calm & cool. Soon, the cab arrived & it was 2 hrs journey to Shoja. Finally reaching around 11.30 am at Zostel, Amay had to wait for an hour to get his room ready.

Till the time, He sat in the cafe enjoying Ginger lemon honey drink along with Banana Pancake. It was refreshing. He was feeling entering into his adventure aura which was active few years ago.

Then he soon joined a group of strangers to play Spy master's game. Meeting strangers over your trip & vibing with them gives you a chance to explore your true self. It was now time for them to continue their journey towards Raghpur fort. So, he decided to check-in my room.

Something had happend to Amay, he was suppose to take some rest & plan to go for a walk & explore the place in evening. Instead, he decided to join a group of strangers to the Jibhi waterfall.

He was little tired & on top of that he carried his 9kg backpack which has laptop & camera essentials. He was barely able to contniue but somehow he reached the waterfall spot. It was literally a beautiful spot; small, soothing & relaxing.

His tiredness was transformed into the relaxation, the sound of water falling from above, the cold breeze. It was great time spending there: Amay was feeling recharged. They had to return back before it was getting dark, so they started our journey backwards to the hostel.

After reaching the hostel, hedecided to read the book & midway of reading; Amay went to sleep. After a hour, he suddenly woke up. Gettng fresh, he went on the explore the food stalls & have evening cup of coffee.

It was freezing cold out there. Amay wanted to spend some time, seating alone & do nothing but, had to back off and eventually decided to spend the rest of time in the zostel cafe. Where he was staying; finishing my unfinished task. Amay ended his day with Musical jamming at cafe. It was literally fun way to end his day with.

It was now time to sleep & take some rest. After watching an episode, he went off to sleep waiting for Sunday to explore.

Tired & Done for the day,

Yet decided to go for an adventure.

Heavy breathe, legs paining but;

Adventure should not stop.

Reaching the spot,

he finally felt a sigh of relief

His own way of feeling

Calm & peace.
