WEEKENDERS - SEEING PLACES
It's not hard to imagine !!! It's your daily drill, that monotonous cubicle, your business counter and chair, that laptop and that screen, hours spend gazing and thinking and typing, a respite of half hour in that tea/lunch break, a quick puffing break, that long drive back home amidst a cacophony of crawling machines only to face another screen, a night spent calculating and devising new formulas for PPT's and Meetings, a robotic existence in tandem with regular routine of what we call working, earning a living and sometimes living !!!
Sounds sad and deprived of that feeling of being alive. Yeah it does, just like the existence which prominently raises its head everyday. Well Well Well !!!
We have hope, because in the end we do seek an end to all routines, and like Buddha says "The greatest meditation is the meditation on impermanence". So we have respite for the impermanence of this kind of an existence, we have our weekends, our space, our freedom when we choose to savor our being alive, where we can explore more facets of our selves, other than working. When we can really ask a stranger and that co-worker and our families "How are you?" instead of "What are you doing?".
And we travel. They say traveling is the best stress buster, meeting new people, exploring new places, trying and tasting new foods, getting a high indulging in sports and adventure sports, being outdoors - ESCAPING your mundane routines .....
I cannot recall who said this, but it goes like - Hope is like a country road. There was no road till many people walked and the road finally came into existence. And this hope and these roads have made possible for us to escape every weekend or every other weekend we choose to. We can cycle, we can walk, we can raft down the river, we camp, we can unwind and read that book which we never turned further than the 10th page, we can compose that tune on the guitar which we always hum but never play, we can sit down and enjoy that jazz by the riverside, we can find our cosy getaway and stare in to those eyes forever which we always dreamed of but never found the time to be with them, we can get out with old and new friends alike and party like there was no tomorrow or we can just be with our colleagues and try to know them better - what they call building bridges and we can be all by ourselves.
Travel with Dj brings you these choices, crafted carefully, because these are your precious moments over 48-72 hours, in the outdoors when you want your weekends to be perfect. The destinations chosen are not more than 8-9 hours of travel and offer a complete escape into the outdoors and into your own self. You can hike, bike, raft and camp like we mentioned earlier or you can be simply laid back.
We also run our own weekend departures every two weeks into these destinations so if you have the option of joining a group and meeting new people and exploring new destinations every second week. These are called "Travel with Dj - Seeing Places". New destinations every second week.
The weekend escapes are usually one night/two night extravaganzas depending on your mood and choice of destination. Our own departures are One night getaways and start Friday evenings from Delhi/Chandigarh/Dehradun. Depending upon the size of the group we usually board our own chartered bus and head out on the roads or if the group is small we try and accommodate in smaller comfortable vehicles. As a comfort policy we never allow more than 4 guests in one vehicle. The chartered buses are 18 seater buses which implies our SEEING PLACES are also not more than 18 guests in one departure. However if you are more than 18 people don't despair - we organise bigger charters as well.http://travelwithdj.blogspot.com/p/weekenders.html
