THE BEACH RETREAT

For me water is an important thing in daily life. And when you talk about water, how can I forget the sea & the swimming pool. I have been addicted to sea & the water from the day I started seeing it. I love being in the sea shore, playing in the beach, exploring the unexplored & even looking at the sea itself makes me so content.

I make my family complete, I understood lately. Rarely do we go for a trip in our family. When I started earning, I took the initiative of going out with my cousins even if it’s a small beach trip. So I know they miss me for that little treat. But I never miss the opportunity to go beyond the lands. Be it office outing or family outing, I will be there.

Family outing is always tension free because you have to deal with the persons you know completely with their positives & flaws. But when you go from office for an outing its entirely different. You have to accept people as they are or else your day will be gone. I like to go into the depths of the sea & playing with the high waves & the rip tides. Its an awesome experience. The rough sea is always a wonder to me, it will push you into the depths of the sea, but still I like it more than the peaceful sea. The waves will make you summersault & end of the day you will feel you are a master of gymnastic.

Ever thought what will happen if the sea takes you in. I don’t even want to think about it, because I know that will be the end of it. I have seen people suffer if they are under water for even a split second. They think it’s the end of their life. But I would say they are not courageous enough to face the life or the reality. I can’t blame them because even for that split second they will be thinking about what will happen to their kids or family without them. I don’t think about it because I am scared & I try not to think about it.

Besides the wonder there is a mystery to the sea which makes it different from other creatures which God has created. And that mystery makes it evergreen & lively. I have been trying to learn swimming from a long time. And I only get a chance during the outings & that’s not enough for you to become a swimmer. I can’t blame myself either. The last few outings taught me how to float & that’s the beginning of swimming as told by my guru or guru’s. The feeling of floating itself makes me so happy which makes me think how happy I will be after learning to swim.

And the one thing I missed during the last outing is my best friend. I tried not to think about her absence but the more I tried enjoying the more I missed her presence. I hope this will be the last outing without her. And I am planning to meet her shortly that means I will have to quit what I have now…J

  1. have you ever watched the sea during monsoon?thats awesome...but even in all that chaos in front of you, your mind will be calm.i dont like placid seas without waves...
    yes i am sacred of the sea, but thats only because i know first hand what it can do to me.you have to be inside a wave, spinning like you are in a washing machine,to appreciate the power of the seas,or rather our powerlessness.long before ota,the sea had already humbled me countless times...
