It took me approximately 15 minutes to pair my Spotify to the Xbox and it was there to serve only one purpose. Play the playlist I had created for my trip so that I could be hit with just the right amount of nostalgia. The floodgates of my memories opened washing out a bit of the depression of the Covid pandemic. Now that’s a high! So, with Buddhu Sa Mann playing and my motivation being sky high, let me take you on a journey I took in 2019. A journey to new places in the world and within my own conscience. A journey where I met different people and a different me! Yes yes, it sounds like a cliché, but give it a chance. You might find something relatable in my story, after all we’re all humans and no matter how different we seem, we share a lot together.
A bit of advice first, if you ever think of looking at flight prices during your class because you’re bored, it just might be the most amazing thing you’d ever do! That’s how it all started, on one late October evening in 2018 during the Solidification Processing class as I decided to randomly look up flight prices to Europe. I was planning on going home the coming summer 2019 and the idea of having a pitstop in Europe seemed like a fairy tale. But well, what’s the harm in trying I thought as the search engine started pushing out the prices and that’s when I realized, the trip just might happen!
Long story short, by the end of the class, I had made up my mind. It was bound to happen the coming summer no matter what. This was my time to do something which I had yearned for a long time. There were so many reasons to visit Europe, football being one of them, apart from the obvious cultural and gastronomical aspects. If I start listing them now, you would consult me to a therapist as a special case study so let’s keep those hidden in the story to come for you to guess. I guess that’s how I want to write this, bound together but just open enough for everyone to add in a bit of their own and relate it to their life. I guess that’s how good movies or books work, when we are able to add in something of our own, its importance increases.
Anyway, back to the topic at hand, I WAS GOING TO TRAVEL THROUGH EUROPE! How? Don’t know! When? Unsure! But one question had a solid answer. Alone? YES! I guess this is where I knew there was only one name suitable for this story; Table for One.
