Seven Days of Silence!

Heard from a friend about this course of Vipassana and had decided will do it for sure.
The code of discipline when read was scary but I thought it’s doable and was pretty excited about the course.
Reached there with full enthusiasm and charged up. We were given individual rooms and were expected to live in total isolation No mobile phones, No internet connection, total cut off with the outside world.
I wanted some peace of mind and sit and stare at life!
Thought it would be a perfect place and indeed it was but then towards the end I missed my mother terribly.
The meditation done over there takes you deep within and you start realizing the truth beneath the surface level and that was the most beautiful feeling. Something just clicks inside you and you suddenly start getting answers for the questions asked from such a long time. Yes, it happens only with the mediation. To believe it you have to EXPEREINCE it.
My biggest achievement of the course was I stayed with a lizard for two days.I am so horrified of Lizards…!!Now, that’s a real achievement!
And I also spotted a snake in the garden! Shit…!! I was scared to death!!
On the seventh day, I could just not resist being away from my family and I realized how often we take our dear ones so much for granted. I knew in return its only my parents missing me the most. I was missing fighting with my brother and was missing playing with my nephew. Only three more days were left in the course but at that moment all I wanted was to talk to my mom! How silly could I be!
I had loved the course so far but three more days I could not stay!
I convinced myself that sometime later I will complete ten days and left from there on the seventh day!
So seven days of Silence and a lifetime remembrance.
