Don’t you wish to run away from it all sometimes?
I know I do.
You know when there are so many things pending at work. When I’m unable to flip through the pages of the book I’m dying to read because of a deadline. Yes, that’s when I want to run away to some place quiet and immerse myself in books, in the magic of written words. Of-course, that’s not really possible, such is life.
If it were a movie I would have had the courage to give up my job and explore the unknown with a knapsack filled with my favorite books.
You could say, why not? But it really isn’t that simple, is it? With family, friends and obligations where is the legroom to disappear? Nevertheless, if I could I would perhaps go to one of the white sandy beaches of Mauritius, sit under a shade and read. I don’t know if you’ve been there. In case you haven’t then you probably need to, for they have some of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Mesmerizing would be the word to describe them really.
So when the time comes I guess any beach destination which is not crowded, clean and has crystal clear waters would be my choice, my escape. You know run away and hide there when I’m bored of the mundane activities of life? And strangely only Mauritius comes to my mind when I write these lines.
Sometimes running away is good you know. It might just be for a few days but it’s definitely good for the soul. Worth a try for sure!
So in case I disappear you at least know where to look for me. Right? White sandy isolated beaches! I’m sure it’ll narrow down the search to some extent.

Sounds like a good plan. Take me with you 😉
I would love to escape like this. The only thing is my escape would be the mountains !
Conspiracy…I love any quiet river side…especially the backwaters of Kerala
Sounds like pure bliss. Agree with you, Mauritius is absolute heaven!
May the sandy beaches of Mauritius become a reality for you soon, Nabanita 🙂
Running away to sandy white beaches sounds like heaven to me especially after a day of the kids fighting!
Nabo…I always have this in a corner of my HEART & MIND… but not able to do that…
one or other day my husband will START searching me, start going through all my online accounts and he MAY end up here(this comment) and would find the reason that I have gone somewhere all ALONE to ENJOY… 😉 he he…
Come to varkala…..it is just the kind of beach u described. 😀
Sounds like a plan Naba.
Running away is always good. It gives you something to come back to later 🙂
I also love reading on the beach. Second favourite place is in front of a fireplace. This just made me long for the beach.
Nabanita, I finished reading your post and the comments with a sense of sadness. Life is about making choices; life is about priorities. I am not saying that one should just get up and abandon her life, but she should never reach that point, where she feels she has to for her own sanity and survival. "It's called putting yourself on the list." – something so many women, in particular, don't know how to do. I've always had a rule, when I go to sleep at night, I ask myself, "So, what have you done for yourself today?" It doesn't have to be big things. It can even be taking a babysitter for an hour just to curl up in bed to read a book in the middle of the day!" or indulging with one of your favorite treats without having to share with others or apologize. HUGS <3
I haven't been there but you are welcome here, I will take you to Cape Cod. It's pure and pristine and residents voted a law many years ago against any development. It's untouched. Running away when pressure is mounting – is one of the most desired things.
Yes! Anywhere warm for me, doesn't have to have a beach, but a beach would be a bonus!
I'd like to run away too! But to where? I'm too comfortable in my skin
