finding peace at a music festival..

so i decided to go solo to a music festival. i was quite skeptical till i got to the place, as we all know how the crowd that goes to these places is high on music & life & alcohol & chemicals.. So it was very natural to have some kind of fear, since i was a solo female traveler. But, i was all wrong..yes the crowd was just what we think, high on everything, but absolutely Fun, safe, educated, intelligent & eccentric. it couldn't have been a better place, festival or People.

i went to the Magnetic Field Festival #MagFields2015. A beautiful festival, with super vibes & good artists. the fest was so well organised & cool. I had pitched my own tent & what an experience that is.
i met some of the most amazing people. the locals were so warm & welcoming but most of them had gone into a state of culture shock, looking at us women from the cities.

there was a sense of peace there, even with  music blaring through the night & so many people around you all the time. it was like i could actually spend some time with myself & also enjoy it. just lying around on the sand listening to very rude sounding birds, just idly chatting up with anybody passing by, staring into nothingness in the day & looking at the stars in the night.

people sitting around fires through the night & talking,drinking, dancing & making merry it felt like a celebration of life with not a care in the world. it was one of the most calm & serene weekend breaks in my life. i didn't sleep for almost 3 nights & neither did most of them but there was no stress. it was like a very dreamy feeling where the days just smoothly turned into the night & the dark night into the next morning like a serpent with no sound & no disturbance.
