My idea of fun

its a Saturday evening have pretty much nothing to do. all my daily chores have been taken care of in the morning itself.

i get a call from Mr.x.

x:"hey ,shubham,listen let's go for a movie"

me:"which?"

x:"this movie called fsdfadf which starres xyz and rty.its gonna be killer fun."

me:”and where is this?”

x:”dfwdf” multiplex. its newly built and it looks just fabulous. I hope you are coming.

me:naah man. I have to go somewhere.

x:cmon man, its not everyday that such a movie gets released.

me: sorry dude but I got to go to this place for important work

x:ok then,tc ,cya sometime. You are missing out on all the fun.

I keep the phone down.

I knew I was free.

I knew my friends were going there.

I knew it would have made sense to go there as I had nothing else to do.

But going for movies, eating out in a fancy restaurant, going bowling, playing pool and all other random snobbish sports.

These kind of things are not my idea of having fun. I would rather stay at home and listen to music which takes me away to a different trip.

i have been labelled as boring, serious just because I don't approve of their idea of fun.

So what exactly is my idea of fun?

My idea of fun is going to rock shows. As you must have known by now about my inclination towards music, it would be understandable that I like to go for such shows.

Its always good to check out different artists of different genres and it gives a great pleasure to me in doing so.

the different genres i have been exposed to, is one of the things i take pride in. Its not only rock, but fusion,electronica,IDM,etc.That has caught my attention.

When rock shows are nowhere to be seen, my next idea of having fun is to travel in places we wouldn't have otherwise.

Ever heard of Dahanu?ever heard of khopoli?

I didn't know of them, until last year. I find a great sense of happiness and joy in traveling to places which have never been visited or the places which have been totally neglected by the urban types who prefer to go to Goa,Kerala, and sometimes even foreign locales for a getaway.

Well ,I like Goa and Kerala , but I would like to discover places which are nearby and away from human civilization.

Its a fact that where a humans lives, is a dirty place which once was beautiful. the Humans left no stone unturned in destroying it.

I would love to travel to such places. although sometimes I wish I had my own car so that i would have had no problems in going there.Booking a bus can be such a fuss sometimes.

I had the privilege of going for a trek to this really beautiful waterfall in Nagothane(Maharashtra).The waterfall was so beautiful ,it almost brought tears to my eyes.Nature can be inspiring.

I and my friends had so much fun. I bet I wouldn't be having so much fun anywhere else. the gushing of waterfall, getting drenched in pure water, it was just fabulous. It was a spiritual experience as well.

this is my idea of fun. I don't really enjoy the mall culture fun(bowling, eating out, playing pool and other random things).call me boring,but that's the way i live.

i was getting an opportunity to watch the t20 match that was held in Brabourne stadium,Mumbai. Cricket being one of the things I enjoy watching and playing, it was hard to refuse. But my idea of fun is something which completely deviates from the norm everyone has.

So with a lot of courage, I had to reject it.

I’ll have my kind of fun someday

Peace.
