Well, they say, the journey is more important than the
destination. And I have believed it as well. But this recent trip to the adlabs
imagica made me doubt it. Was my first trip with office friends, so I was kinda
apprehensive about it in the beginning. The plan started to take shape a week
before. And went down to the midnight of the day before the trip. And all for a
just a days trip (lol). Anyways, the journey began, everyone was super excited
but it all started to fade a bit as the sun started to show its strength. As it
was a long weekend, the toll booths took their toll on us quite literally: D
with the long queues and dust blowing, etc.
Anyways, the point being the journey wasn’t that epic :P
We were a group of 12. Few of whom I knew well and few of
whom I didn’t, as I’m a newbie in the office and the others know each other for
a longer time. And being as introvert as I am, I felt a weird sense of being
out of place. But that changed once we reached there and started our imagica
adventure! Slowly it seemed like I’ve known them for a long time. A feel of
belonging in the group. Time flew like it had got a dose of super speed potion
:D enjoying ride after ride, or standing in the queues. Hell we also made a
rukus with aunties shouting and what not while making a few of our friends, who
were late to arrive at a ride, jump queue to reach us :D We also started a new
trend of lying down in the 360 degree theater while watching the movie. Looking
at us almost all of the teenagers, kids and young adults did the same, the
older ones were I guess kinda embarrassed to do the same! :D
And as the day came to an end, I was completely one of
them!! I have to admit I was surprised myself as I have never opened up to
people so easily. Was it them or me or the magic of imagica?
Coming back, almost everyone was half dead. Tired, sleepy
and exhausted I reached home. After a good warm bath and dinner, as I laid on
my bed reminiscing the entire day I spent with everyone, a faint smile came
forth, the most that my weary body could muster at that moment as I dove into a
sweet nights hug.
So, to me it seems that people who you travel with, the
moments you share with them, let it be happiness or sadness, are the most
important things, more than the destination and definitely more than the
journey! :D :D
