5 days!

                          It was 7th October! I felt butterflies in my stomach. I was happy! nervous! excited! Scared! All at the same time. Yes, I was going for a camp. A Chinmaya mission camp. 300 people were going  from Chennai. I personally knew very few people. The camp was in Pune. And I had never gone this far without a family member. But I really wanted to go for it. Frankly, Naina from Yeh jawaani hai deewani was my inspiration for this particular moment in my life.
                    The camp was an amazing experience. I learnt:
How to make new friends
How to randomly start talking to a stranger.
How to survive and actually like sattvic food.
That life is to be lived.
That swamijis can actually be very funny and have a lot of humor loaded in them and also how they have the tricks to kick the fear out of your life.
That every person is so unique.
And a lot more...................

The camp was in Kolwan,Pune. That place had magic in it. It had a certain thing about it. It had the feel. It had the capacity of filling me up with hope. I didn't want to get back. I wanted to settle down there and live there. It was an amazing experience and I am going to treasure it all my life.
             Before registering I was not sure if I should go for the camp. But when the camp was over, I was grateful that I didn't give in to all those negative thoughts.
          Here are a few pictures of the place:
