'YATRA’: A Journey of Life
Every being on this Earth right now is on a journey, a journey that is endless, that continues till a traveler gets a final signal of death to stop. The journey of life begins with birth, moves on to various stages like infant, childhood, teenage, youth and continues till the last stage where the body mixes up with the five elements it is made up of.
During the journey of life one comes across many things, people, events and resources, but all these becomes companion for specific time frame, every traveler travels lonely and completes this endless journey all alone. There might be many hurdles faced, many detours that might compel to divert to a new path but still, a "successful life" is defined by how victoriously the map holder completes the journey that is set before him or her.
As soon as a child can comprehend the meaning of words, a map of the long and difficult journey, described with hope and admiration, is set before them. The maps other than physical are passed on by mouth through family, friends, and acquaintances describing their experiences and opinions about the routes that they had taken on their own personal journey. A journey is made up of one overall map and various smaller maps, telling of the alternate routes that are available. It is upon one what route one chooses to continue to reach one’s destination, but life as all knows has no destination, the journey completes only when one finds death but ironically it’s the beginning of a new journey in itself.
