Oh! to be far from the madding crowd!

Amid all the chaos, the heat, work blues, ppl ppl ppl....... me heart yearns to get away from it all. Somewhere i can literally let my hair down, feel the wind through my hair, and sigh at the sight of the waves lapping at my feet. The moment when i can lie down and close my eyes and listen to the music thats playing only in my ears. when i can soar through the sky and drift aimlessly..... The perfect vacation needs detachment from all things that hold us down, physically as well as mentally. The exact moment when you want to lie down on the sand and close your eyes is not the one you want to be worrying about babies, food, accomodation arrangements etc. 

The perfect vacation is when when i have a good book in my hand, one that doesn't distract me, so engrossing that all around sounds are muted..... The prefect vacation is when i have my fav music playing all around me. The notes flowing over me, so that i feel the emotions that the singer is feeling..... The perfect vacation is when i dont have to gross over my looks and can be in what ever condition i prefer to be..... The perfect vacation is when i am inspired to cook elaborate meals at a languid pace with no guests peeping over my shoulder to smell and inhale the flavours..... The perfect vacation is when i can sit on my terrace and feel the rain drenching me all over and feel the stress seeping out of me..... The perefct vacation is also when i see my son playing with his favourite bubbles and i see my hubby having the time to jump to his tunes... and i hear their laughter resounding all around me... That is my version of a perfect vacation or holiday..... tell me yours.....
