Okay, I wouldn’t say I took an overdue vacation from blogging because it is not my full-time job-I wish it was sigh! But life sadly isn’t a wish granting factory.Well, let’s get to the next part before I start a vicious crying cycle about how life is to me.So hello guys, I have finally made a comeback to the world of blogging.I have been well so far hope you guys have too.
So 7th December 2017 will be marked on my calendar forever.
Why ?These are the questions which appear as answers to my question in your minds-:
1.Is it my birthday?
2.Did I get my first boyfriend ever?
3.Did I get married?
4.Did I get my first child?
5.Did I graduate high school? I badly want someone to invent a time machine so that I can turn time back to five years in that case where I could go back in time and change everything which happened since then.I don’t have the advanced engineering skills required to invent time machines.India has so many qualified engineers but none of them was able to do it.Looks like only the scientist from the movie ‘Back to the future’ would be able to do it.
7th December is a date that is worthy of marking in the calendar because it’s my parents’ wedding anniversary that day.Nope but that’s not why I am writing this blog post.My parents’ anniversary comes every year.
From my side, it is the day which made me take the most number of first times.I did things which I have never had the courage to do in my entire life and I am pretty sure people who know me personally would think I am lying or exaggerating if I tell them that I actually did these things.But I have video proofs for everything which I shall be uploading as vlogs on youtube.
So these are the list of things I did-:
1.Took a FULL solo trip; unlike other self-proclaimed ‘solo trips’ where I would be accompanied by friends or family during segments of the trips I was fully on my own
2.Stayed in a tent
3.Did bungee jumping
4.Rode a bike; I have had this fear of driving and I have realised that riding a bike is actually therapeutic.My perception towards bikes have changed and now I have gotten rid of my driving phobia.
5.Rode a jet ski; with an assistant obviously just to make sure I don’t go crazy and fall into the Narmada.I don’t even know swimming to save myself.
6.Parasailed
7.Visited Madhya Pradesh
8.Visited Hanuwantiya
9.Attended the Jal Mahotsav Carnival
10.Camped by the river bank.
11.Left my wallet and phone unsupervised; in the tent at night.Kids don’t try this ever, please and adults wait for my next blog post before you scream your lungs at me for being a careless kid who took her parents’ money for granted all her life
12.Stayed in a room with a ‘zip’ lock.
13.Tried my hand at rock climbing but failed miserably; at least I tried.I wouldn’t live a life of regret if I had failed but I would if I don’t try.
14.Climbed up the longest ladder I have ever climbed.
15.Rode in a bullock cart
I ‘ziplined’ too but this wasn’t my first time.My first ziplining experience was in Darjeeling and that was a zillion times better than the one I did here.
I would mark this date as the ‘best day of my life’ so far on the calendar because this was the day I decided to let go and live in the moment.The song ‘let it go’ from frozen describes this day for me.
I am glad that this day co-incidentally corresponds to my parents’ anniversary.
So to answer all the questions which appeared in your mind as answers to my question:
1.Was it my birthday? Yes, you say that because I was reborn a better person on this day.
2.Did I get my first boyfriend ever?I discovered the boyish spirit in me and I fell in love with him.
3.Did I get married? Yes but not for a person to adventure.
4.Did I get my first child?Yes the child in me was born.No pun intended
5.Did I graduate high school?Yes, I earned a degree in the high school of life.Now wish me good luck in college.
I hope you guys enjoyed reading this post.My next blog post on my first solo trip will be out soon.Stay tuned!
Have a good Friday night having fun you deserve it.Whereas I have had too much fun and I need to work on a Friday night too.Bye Bye!
sounds like you’ve got a lot going on! 😀

Hey Harini! Once you are past the first time, you start hearing relaxing music in your mind on the experience, though the first time might have been tough in mustering courage! Nice to hear that you attended the Jal Mahotsav in MP. I too just heard about it. You should blog about the experience at Jal Mahotsav!
