Only trust. Trust… trust… trust…

That night it was me, and only 3 boat staff. Alone. No more help I could have.

What would you trust, if trust was all you had left?

India was one of my to-go list. So I said: if not today then when. And I booked the flight.

Kerala. 15 shades of green. I landed at Kochi airport alone. Stranger in strange land. A fear rose within me, so I didn’t risk it with hostels. I booked all 5 star hotels.

I felt I am in fantasy land. And I am the main character in it. Princess of the land, not the queen.

I organised a surprise for myself: a night on the boat. If I know everything, it is like arriving at a point — what to expect and nothing more, nothing less. Kind of a paradox of safety and challenges.

He showed me the motorcycle. I said ok. Calm down, I said to myself. And I got on the back. Travel light is important.

Then the river. And the kettuvallam waiting. Not one nail in it. Kettu means tied, vallam means boat. Now they carry people like me.

I stepped out of my room as a completely different person. A remembering. Each travel helped me to remember who I am.

Fantasy land does not give you what you expect. It gives you what you did not ask for.

What are you not asking for?
