Bungee jumping

Yeeee.....


It was in my list for long time. For me the main motivation was, I wanted to try whether I could jump by myself from a bridge into a river [:O], and was pretty sure I cannot do it, but still I wanted to try. All of us have some fear in our life. The fears in conscious mind are easier to handle as they are temporary. While we also have some fears in our sub-conscious mind, it always remains there, so even though we know nothing is going to happen, we cannot stop feeling scared. Even though our logical mind is telling we are safe, but sub-conscious mind doesn't hear all those logics, it just knows that we should not jump from a bridge. We generally get this dream that we fell from height, and it wakes us up. So, even though our logical mind tells us that it is soo damn easy, believe me it was tough to jump by urself.


So, thisweekend we went to whistler (Vancouver). The bridge was made up of iron rods between two hills. There was a beautiful river flowing below the narrow bridge. It was winter time, so mountains were covered with snow, and so the parts of river. It was awesomely beautiful. They tied me with a rope. OMG I couldn't put my foot at the corner of the bridge, that feeling of falling down (you know we never go the end point of mountain, fearing that we might fall). But, after 2 minutes I balanced myself at the end point. They started counting down 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 but I am still on bridge [:)]...how can I jump from a bridge?

Then Abhas started shouting JUMP, JUMP, DONT THINK ANYTHING.....I have realized I wanted to do bungee jumping for that only....I wanted to forget about all of the worries in the life....I wanted to feel how it feels to be really free...nothing matters now....I always dreamed of flying freely in the sky with nothing else in my life....I started feeling free.... I felt the wind....I looked at those mountains... it was soo peaceful and I jumped...........


Now it is different thing that I shouted at my full voice after jumping (I didn't do anything, it happened), but after a sec I was soooooooooo awesome.... I was in between those snow covered mountains, the river was awesome.....I felt peaceful....

I took me more than an hr to get back my senses [:P]...

But, surely that was an awesome weekend....

Why it happens ?

We enter a new surroundings (new school, new college, new work place), we are bit excited, bit nervous, and kind of lonely. Then, we find friends among strangers. And without realizing they become an important part of our life and we don't feel lonely any more. Then the session ends and everyone splits and we come to this new place. We get new friends, but we do still miss those old times, old friends. We don't fight with them anymore, we feel soo awesome to talk to them even for a couple of minutes in a month, we read those old mails again and again. Why do we miss them ? And an even worse situation is, when they move on and you left at the same place, now the place reminds you of them more often and now you miss them more, you miss calling them often while going home...we miss talking to them endlessly, cribbing to them....

I think that is the reason our parents miss us more when we left home, since they still live at same place where they r soo used to of seeing us and the place seems soo empty without us. But, now it seems to have a solution, they should also move on.... move to a new place... I know it is not possible (I know I am becoming more practicle person, & i hate it [:(])
