Life larger than life

Was there anytime when you felt you were in your dream world, when you felt like living in a fairy tale; even if just for a moment..



I lived a fairy tale for a full 9 days duration; the beginning was not exactly a fairy tale sort minus the forest scenario!! and a point of difference to be noted here is that my fairy tale didnt require a prince..It didnt require a hero (although there were many suitable options!!;) ).................



The bus stopped near lake Selger (Russia)..we with our wobbly sleep deprived eyes, reached our tents exhausted and tired. The bus journey was a full long 8 hours after a long flight...and slowly the magic swirled itself open...beautiful spacious tents amidst exquisite pine and fir trees. Cones scattered everywhere. It was a sight to relish. Astonishingly funny part was that lazy me didnt feel like having a wink at all. Lectures, intellectual games followed by sport and dance activities and then strolls on the lake side. people gay and happy, chilled out; and amazingly interactive ...I felt portkeyed to a beautiful world....

people would wear anything and nothing and yet wouldnt get second stares.... showing affection was suddenly not a scandel and emotions like frustration and stress didnt seem to exist...



In the next few days we also practiced and then performed on Indian Cultural Night... the dance and fashion shows were greatly applauded and appreciated.....lights, audience and hooting...it was my fantasy..something my college didnt give me; something I longed for eons and eons



In this part of Russia even the sun refused to set as if it too did not want to lie down ; we experienced the most amazing white nights. Along with these, the sight of a brightly colored orange crescent stole my breadth every single night..........



On the nineth day, I found my superly beautiful journey coming to an end..yet the the gorgeous images were intactly etched in my heart on my mind.



Today getting again engrossed in the the daily ebb and flow of life , the dreamy world still lingers softly around me and once more I have started believing that stuff like fairy tales do exist you only need to find this stuff.................!!
