PURNAMIDAM - mindlessly mindful

Majority of India goes away on a vacation in the scorching month of May. Places like Kashmir,  Himachal Pradesh, Goa and Kerala are the most visited and top the list of best vacation destinations . But last year, not only did I choose an off-season time, but also an offbeat place.  Leave alone the phirangs; in my opinion, even most Indians are not aware of this little heaven in the middle of Karnataka state called Coorg. I heard about Coorg for the first time from my Kannada friend a few years back. It stayed sleeping in the back of my mind only to surface last November when my dad asked me, where in south can we travel?’ As we had already covered the obvious ‘Mysore-Ooty-Bangalore’ trip, ‘Coorg’ instantly came to my mind. So off we were, first to Bangalore to visit my sister and then to Coorg. One can reach this eerily tranquil place by train, getting down at Mysore or Hassan railway station, or by plane at Mangalore and taking the local buses to Madikeri, the capital of Coorg.

have u ever felt like diving in water and den flying outta it like a dolphin ? have u ever felt like jumping off a cliff and imagine tat u wont fall but lay slow on the green carpet below?? have u ever felt like entering a green canopy and know that no thorn can bruise you? have u ever felt like jus 1s god jus 1s if I cud be only a soul and not a body? ever felt like simply dissolving?????

Looking back at the road I’ve been on, trying to search my footprints in. But they have been rubbed, but they have been smudged and now am lost.     I search a little harder And so, I see them on the sides. Everything comes rushing back to me, all those times when I thought I was being wise, like a flashback in front of my eyes, and now am lost.   I hate this feeling that am in. It hurts, it aches and I got nothing to put at stake. The words of wisdom prick like a pin.   Everything that seemed right, turned wrong. Everything that seemed wrong, turned right. Now, at the dawn of the dusk of my life I only have one wish, of turning back time.   I have lost my mind, I have lost my soul. Somebody help me am lost to the core. I am slipping out of my own hands. It’s been days am wearing the same old pants. Aimlessly wandering on the road I’ve been trying to search my footprints in.

I wish I cud change the things but they always seem so far and it seems like the longest day and the longest hour when the last drop of hope swings to the farthest spot you wanna bring it back, its making u loose your faith you tell yourself  may be it was a worthless chase. And you’re smiling because you want to pretend you’re strong so love me, cause I am here and telling you the truth I still see you, every moment I turn my back but you never seem to know what it was. In a space we live from each other so apart you are a habit I wish I could have lost with so much time to kill I have lost the will to change things at all so love me, cause I am here n telling you the truth I still see you, every moment I turn my back but you never seem to know what it was......................

Run away run away with me I am not saying I got answers to all your questions am not saying I got solutions to all your problems run away with me just please come with me Its a pretty place out there, you look your best ,and I promise you'll feel your best too its a noisy place in here and it was the worst day to have been through  but am still gonna see it through am gonna turn the pages and read my 'lived happily ever after' am gonna reach the gates and look back at you run away with me run away with me you are not my only hope, but you are my strongest dope. Let’s run away Let’s run away to the heaven's abode Run away, away let’s run away........
