Its has been a long while since I have gone on a “long” walk. I used to walk a lot and I really used to enjoy those, more so, when the walk is silent, no chit-chat, discussions, just being with oneself., even if you are walking with someone.
I thought that I have missed the magic of walking after buying a car, since all my mobility suddenly depended on millions year old fossil fuels. Though I did not realise it, it also had its share in my ballooning waistline! I had that wonderful walk today, I started walking from home to rashmi’s house, and after reaching there, I walked back, but I didnt head for my home, I went through many circuitious roads before reaching home at around half past ten, as a satisfied man.
I wonder if anyone has tried walking as a hobby? We used to go for walks everyday during lunch time, as our office is by side of a canal, and we used to walk by the canal side, but those used to be really short. Surprisingly, there are countless walking trails set up in UK, along with London Walking trips, but I havent done even one of them. Since summer is here, I think I should go for walk more often., and try out some of the trails.
If you havent tried walking yet. I will advise you to try it. Start in the evening, and make it a pretty long one.. go alone, or with some one who understands your silence.. and watch the world go by and earth go past!!
