A trip to remember…

Life is a roller coaster and it is full of those moments when you want to bang your head against the wall or the moments when you want scream on top of your voice to vent out the agony you are going through. So what is your stress fix? For me it’s a long drive all by myself listening to something peaceful , be it the chirpings of happy birds or the sound of my mom’s chatter or heavy shopping while there is a sale or paying a visit to my grand parents !

Its true that when one feels anxious and stressed out it can have a negative impact on both health and one one’s emotional state of mind. No matter how hard you try to forget your sorrows and put behind your tensions your body and mind have other ideas.I was not spared either. I remember there was this awful day when all hell broke and I was surrounded by negativity. It felt like I would choke on my stress and pessimism if I did not go out and get some time for myself. That is what happens when you have a horrible fight with your loved one and you simply can’t put your ego down along with your boss complaining on your working abilities even though one has given her 100% , plus to seal the deal is everything you shortlisted products on sale go out of stock (Ask a woman how it feels, it sucks big time. SUCKS MY SOUL TO SEE them out of stock!) And then begins the complaining ‘Why me!’ So yeah, that awful day I  and I cried some more lol I wished there was a option in life to undo everything or I hoped to have the invisible coat like Harry’s or magically disappear from this awful sorry bygone Earth. Well nothing of the things I wished happened and the closest to the things I wished was the option of running away to my grandparents place. How mean of me to visit them because I wanted to feel good and not visit them when I was happy . yes, I am mean, but grandparents don’t mind that (Lucky me) and within no time I had my bags packing. Also did I tell you I had these hefty shopping and domestic bills to pay (All thanks to shopping for things I do not want) . So yes I made a phone call calling in sick and needing some time to recover (I was sick hokay, sick of all the problems in my life!) and off I was to live the most memorable day of my life !

When I finally reached my grandparents place, I felt slightly better. When I am at my grandparents place its always peaceful, happy and meaningful. Not to forget my cousins, super friendly neighbors there (some are damn hot;) ,and the environment there puts me into a happy state. But this time my I was all tensed and happiness was not in question. I felt like the most troubled person on Earth bestowed with infinite problems was none other than me and myself ! The thing with grandparents is just by looking at us they can banish and disembark all the stress ! No kidding, the moment they set their eyes on me , I could see in their eyes they knew I was troubled and both of them looked with such love that I felt at ease. To top it was the tight hug they gave. And that day I observed everything they did. Finally that day I realised that life could be simple, again but only I wanted to. My grandparents even at the age of 60 had several problems yet they managed to smile, laugh, chuckle and stay happy no matter what.

They never quit wearing superhero capes, my grand mother goes to the farms even now , and both of them believed in simple living. born and bought in a village they are used to hard working and the surprising thing is they still love working and would regret if they quit the hard work. Spending time with them and the night time where we enjoyed light talk over problems and how one should face them left me breathless and turned me into a new leaf. At the end of the day I was touched by the simplicity of their lifestyle and regretted not having noticed how happy they were when they kept things simple. I still remember by Grandpa cheering me up and advising me how one had to let go of the ego to win the battle . I learnt a lot of things that day; I couldn’t wait to get back and sort things between the both us! It was the most optimistic I had felt in a long long time. I remember my grandparents telling me to quit the job if I felt it was pressurizing me . They told me that money should not be the center of everything , and then that moment I felt free , I knew I was going to call it quits with my present job and find work which I would love to do and at the end of the day I would feel proud of it ! That day I decided and made a lot of important decisions in my life ! I decided to focus on one thing at a time. My grandparents were right, I did not have to do everything right at the moment. I had to take it slow. After a few days when I left I was a changed person. II t felt like it was the first time I was breathing. But you know what no matter how much I thank god for blessing me with such wonderful grandparents I can never thank him enough!

I may be a little biased but I declare my grandparents to be the best grandparents of the world! Well well I do share half of their DNA, after all--but I've concluded that my grandparents are really admirable people. After that day I take every problem and deal it with zeal, finesse and enthusiasm. My grandparents have set a great example, and I will and do endeavor to propagate all their best qualities.
