'Seize the moment'

Setting off to Udaipur and Mount Abu later today.

Yesterday, Amit and I were talking about it....and he spoke of this 'seize the moment' stuff.

It's so true. That moment, that moment of the thought getting formulated can come so gently, so unannounced, so unassuming, that it's so easy to miss it. Then to allow it in.....let it take root....and bring it to fruition, all that is conscious space stuff.

It's the possibilities that come to be with ones radar being tuned enough to hear that whisper. You hear it.... and there can be so many more fulfilling experiences.

This one, of this trip, came while watching a movie, Dhadak....and mom and I watched it together. It's shot mostly in Udaipur, and during one of the breaks she said "would be nice to go to Udaipur, no". My initial response was one vague, rather sceptical smile. But somewhere through the movie, I guess it got captured.... because end of movie  I was like "shall we really go ma?".

Couple days later she's like "what's around Udaipur?", and then she walked into her kitchen where, almost innocuous in presence, she has a map of India (it's moved from her house to house :). And then we're searching, and she's like "Mount Abu is pretty close". I've always wanted to see the Dilwara temples, so I could feel a new tremor of excitement too. 

......and three months later we're all set to go.

Seize the moment is so right.

While what's exciting is the trip itself.....what's adding depth is also that it's yet another mom daughter trip :)
