Going on a journey - within!

Chapter 1: The beginning

It was the year 2016. I went with a couple of my friends to Rishikesh to celebrate my birthday as well as rejuvenate ourselves and take a small break from our mundane and hectic lives. As I crossed Haridwar and entered the borders of Rishikesh, a cloud of tranquillity and serenity engulfed me. The air of Rishikesh calmed me down and made me experience something I had never felt before. I started feeling really light, as if all my problems and worries left through an exit gate in my body. I had a consistent body pain from earlier which seemed to disappear the moment I soaked in the salubrious mountain air. However, the time I truly felt magical and surreal was when I halted at this bridge, positioned over the mighty river Ganga, and sat at the edge of a cliff nearby to admire the magnificent Dhauladhar range in front of me. It was at this moment that I cried. I was overwhelmed with emotions because I finally felt free and experienced a divine power so strong, it cannot be described in mere words. After soaking in the holiness of the place for literally an hour, I continued my journey further.
