Travel

Try to travel, otherwise
you may become racist,
and you may end up believing
that your skin is the only one
to be right,
that your language
is the most romantic
and that you were the first
to be the first.

Travel,
because if you don’t travel then
your thoughts won’t be strengthened,
won’t get filled with ideas.
Your dreams will be born with fragile legs and then you end up believing in tv-shows, and in those who invent enemies
that fit perfectly with your nightmares
to make you live in terror.

Travel,
because travel teaches
to say good morning to everyone
regardless of which sun we come from.

Travel,
because travel teaches
to say goodnight to everyone
regardless of the darkness
that we carry inside.

Travel,
because traveling teaches to resist,
not to depend,
to accept others, not just for who they are
but also for what they can never be.
To know what we are capable of,
to feel part of a family
beyond borders,
beyond traditions and culture.
Traveling teaches us to be beyond.

Travel,
otherwise you end up believing
that you are made only for a panorama
and instead inside you
there are wonderful landscapes
still to visit.

    1. Oh!
      I didn’t like that song much
      May be the tune I didn’t like much – but
      Lyrics wise- it’s okay ….

      I liked this song a bit –
      Tune wise and the lyrics wise-
      Jo bhi kasmein thi khaye humnein

    2. I couldn’t like all the songs but one from Raaz. I thought, I might like. But no. I didn’t remember any of the song from the movie. Normally I do love Hindi songs.
      May be just only one song I liked a bit from the movie.
      Not all the songs.

      I’m not sure which ones you liked 🤔

      3. Yea I’m about to right about this hot humid day but the most important is this breeze which is actually giving comfort to sit out there in balcony and enjoy music with nature around like new mango pulps hanging out there over mango trees 🌴🌊

      4. It’s a great soothing sight to watch the mango trees
        And talking about the humid out there
        It’s actually too much.
        But the breeze that you enjoyed- it’s what everyone craves for ….
        Wish we had that breeze here as well!

        Enjoy till it’s there- the comforting beeeze!

      14. Even today
        I took a note from one of my sister friend about this city
        So I can write about it

        That’s why I said
        OMG

        Because you mentioned the city name
        I was surprised

      23. Yes. Surely
        They say,
        This is the year of miracles …
        And you can make it miraculously possible too … it’s in your mindset

        And I love such showers of rain so very much …
        I’m feeling envy that your weather will be blessed with rain soon, and it’s so cool and so soothing – and so much romantic as well
