Day 1

I got lost into the woods for a days.
That day was my biggest fear for life, my fear to loose my loved ones, my fear for never coming back to my own world again. It was 2019 (January 22nd) when I planned to have a small solo trip to Rishikesh.

And the next day 10.30am I was on my way to reach there. I planned this trip without anything in my mind just to explore of it, like no plan to stay or have foods. I randomly just planned it.

I planned it for 1 day and thought within evening I will return back to Dehradun. It was just for some hours I wanted to sit on the riverside of Gangs and take my mind in a peaceful mode.

And just like I planned I took a taxi from Rishikesh, to return back for the entire day I just walked and walked and got exhausted to take any local transport to return back. The driver was very kind and throughout our journey to back I asked the driver (ramnarayan bhaiya) to stop the car as it was around 4.30 in the eve and make me walk near to the jungle safari resort of Rishikesh. He was more overwhelmed to make me explore that place and we parked his taxi and slowly started walking through the woods. It was the best part we were walking and talking about life as he was the locals over here he was talking more of about the place how managed his family struggling and many more.

Slowly the sky was getting darker and I was just going more and more into my mind through the woods and thus I insisted him to walk for some more time but there was the biggest mistake I did I was so excited that we turned into a wrong way and it was almost 6.45pm my phone's battery was 49% and we were fucked up. There were no way we could help ourself because we weren't having a single bottle of water nor any foods with us. We knew we are messed up there we had to keep faith on our luck and survive for the night the driver was so good he didn't even make me feel embarrassed for a moment rather he was trying me to stay calm. I still remember that night I slept under a tree and just think of the good moments of life. I wanted to see my family back, my friends and everyone who means my life. Anyhow we couldnt even sleep for a minute also  as we were so damn scared. My pho e was also dead till the midnight time. With no network. On the very next day we walked early and somehow two security sardar ji helped us to reach to the main road.

With this I realized this life is precious not for others but mostly for ourselves first. I don't have such pictures to upload from that day because we weren't in such state of mind.  I still remember that night with every second I breathe for now.

It's true there is so much life can give you.
I still have contact with (ramnarayan bhaiya) and everytime we talk about that day.

Thanks for reading this to the end.
Much love (travelo_tania)🌼
