I have never been on a blind date. The very idea of meeting someone unknown gives me goosebumps. But how about going on a blind date with this whole world? Going to a place I have never even heard about. Doing things that I never have thought about doing. I still get goosebumps about this sort of blind date but I also feel some adrenaline rushing to my veins. Here goes my #TheBlindList of the places & things while I #SayYesToTheWorld
This world is full of possibilities, all we need is to have an open mind and attitude to embrace & a capability to say yes to the world. But to which world? How much do I know the world? The world is not just about just sky touching buildings or mega structures. It’s a lot more than that. I have some vivid dreams, some vague images n my mind that make that can surely go into my travel bucket list.
Going On A Blind Date With The World
A Starry Night Over A Lake
It’s the most subtle view that I have in my mind. A starry night that hits a forest. The dense forest that ends on the banks of a standstill lake. The lake that holds midnight water. The water that shines as bright as the stars in the sky. The stars that seem to be born tonight. The night that is still young.
I am awestruck. Only naked eyes can capture the true beauty of this place. I am on my knees, should I watch the stars or the reflection of the stars in the water. Why this night is so bright even though it’s not a full moon tonight. Is it the stars again? I refuse to sleep tonight because I do not want this night to end. On a second thought, I wonder how serene this place would look in the daylight.
A Safari To A Mysterious Island
I still have some glimpse of that movie where the Rock is stuck on a mysterious island which is home to the smaller version of animals. I specially can’t shake an image of him carrying a small elephant in his arms. I see myself there. I am holding a elephant in my arms while another one sitting on my lap. I walk a mile and I find some lions while they still look like cubs. We cuddle for some time and I walk ahead.
In front of me is a landscape. I am running with few horses before they decide to make a u-turn. And here cums a pair of kangaroos that I have never ever seen in my life for real. And I have approached a white river running in the heart of this island. Oh, such a place….only if it exists.
From Mountain Peak To Somewhere
After witnessing the most beautiful sunrise of my life at the peak of this mountain, I decide to follow a trail that starts from the mountain, going downward, visible for few meters before fading away in the clouds swimming around. The trail itself is a narrow pathway covering itself with a blanket of flowers. The wild flowers dance as slow wind flows through them. The wind brings the wild fragrance of the flowers to me and I feel a faint smile on my lips.
I close my eyes as I inhale this freshest air. The sunshine is getting stronger and I am taking long steps. I have crossed the clouds now and I can see small blocks. Going closer I can make out, It’s a village. I am embraced by the oldest woman of the village who heads the village. My breakfast is waiting for me.
I can go on and on and my travel wish lists would never end. I don’t know if these places are for real. If they exist where are they, or what they are named. But I can visit them whenever I want to. I just need to close my eyes and I am there, where I want to be. That’s the liberty of a dreamer.
Do you too have some wish lists that may sound crazy to others, but are authentic and real to you? Share here. I won’t judge.
Much Love,
Nisha

I have also never been on a blind date. Travelling the world without any information is scary. But yes visiting a mysterious island would be adventurous.
