I admit, I have never been too much of a sea person. My mother tells me that my first experience with the sea was a traumatic one for me because till I saw the sea, the only water I had seen was the one running from the tap! I had never seen so much water in my life!! But as I grew up, I enjoyed watching the waves dancing their way to the sea shore. But December 26, 2004 changed that for me! I was never able to look at the sea as something wonderful again! Every time I saw it, I could only think of it as the monstrous sea that took several lives! Since then, I've always been scared of the waves.
I was in Pondicherry during 2005 Christmas and i refused to go anywhere close to the waters. Let alone the water, I refused to even step on the sands. Yes, the Tsunami has somewhere, left a terrible impact on me!
This trip to Orissa was very important to me. I decided to get over this fear of mine. It wasn't easy as with every growing wave, I had the urge to run! I had my mom with me and was clenching her hand till I learnt to relax and get somewhere close to enjoying the waters :)
Here's a picture of my endeavour :)
