Wisdom Walks

I am a guy from small town. I am from Kurnool. So when I joined in MGIT, Hyderabad, I thought i could explore some of the urbane culture that was so Hip-Hop then. But the problem came in with the name "stay". Just then my sister got married and my Brother-in-Law (BIL), being a very affectionate guy, would not let me stay anywhere else rather than in his house and I wanted to stay in a P.G but finally i gave into my BIL's decision and moved into his home. So I had to live with my sister and BIL. At that time the only persons i knew in hyderabad were Rajeev(friend), Kedar(friend) and Siva anna( Bro). Kedar and Rajeev literally used to stay in the same house and the fact that Siva anna was studying in CBIT made me often bump into him. On one such occasion i borrowed his i-pod. Being a guy who loves to roam around the place i regularly used to go for walks and my sister who stayed in a beautiful locality called srinagar colony made me walk around more and more. Bad mood-walk, fight with sister-walk, feeling great-walk, feeling lonely-walk, all these walks combined with the music playing in my ears made me feel great. I still remember one night when I had a quarell with my sister, I walked to and from srinagar colony to Hyderabad central at 11.30.

Later, my BIL shifted his base to U.S of A and i shifted mine to a P.G. Yay! finally my independence :P. Not that i have any grudges or my BIL didn't take proper care of me, I somehow felt good moving into a P.G. There were many late night walks and memories attached to the P.G. The fun walks me and Rajeev had, Ice-cream walks me and Abhishek anna had, The no-auto walk me and Kedar had( this one was PRASADS I-MAX to Road no-3, Banjara Hills) and many more. But of all the walks, the most i cherish are the walks with HARSHA and i call them as WISDOM WALKS.

Harsha was my roomie when i shifted to the P.G Accommadation. We, together had one of my best times. To be frank, if not for harsha, I would be completely a different person. He made me look at people with a different perspective, made me look into the psyche of the person (seriously not exaggerating here, even Rajeev would have agreed the same). We both being walk-o-maniacs used to walk, walk, walk. I remember one walk we had from Prajay to Suchitra just because we had nothing to do in our room and that also at 11 in the night. During these strolls he made me learn so much that i cant even explain. Harsha is my senior in college and whenever i had internals he used to explain the subject to me. Even these explainations were on a walk. So, you can imagine how much we loved walking. There was one such advice he gave during our walk back from chai-wala to our room that helped me a lot and i can never forget that. We always ponder over the decisions we have made and ask many people about it. Our decisions are made by us for ourselves not by others. So why ask every Tom Dick and Harry about whether we made the right choice or not. Ask people before making the decisions, but not after and even then trust yourself the most. Many people will just give a bird's eye view and they dont know what you want. So ultimately it is you who are going to call it. I mean, you have already made the leap, you cant hang in mid air, you either cross the barrier or not. We all will be little apprehensive about the decisions we made, but come on! whatever be it, you should not regret it. A decision should not be irrevocable otherwise the whole meaning of "decision" will be changed.

This advice helped me a lot in my future pursuits. Hope it does the same to you too :-)
