As both of them drove & Siddharth asked,”Do you want to know how do I celebrate my birthday?” Shreya naughtily answered by finishing the box full of chocolates on the way to brunch…& both of them had a hearty laugh. He said, “Well…then I will give you a surprise.” Saying this he took a different turn. Shreya knew that he is upto some surprise & waited for him to reveal.
He drove to outskirts of the city where there was no hustle bustle. The lanes were calm & both the sides had greenery. Shreya loved looking out of the window. As she rolled down the window of the car, she could feel cool breeze on her face. Her hair was covering her face & she held it on one side to enjoy the nature. After a long drive they stopped. Siddharth said we need to walk up from here for 10minutes. I hope it is fine with you. Shreya gave a grin & said, “Of course! If it’s an instruction from birthday boy, then how can I deny.” They walked upto a beautiful dome shaped Ashram. She was puzzled & looked at Siddharth. He said this is my party destination. This is an Ashram. We follow no religion but we do come here for meditation & much needed rest & relaxation. They both walked into the Ashram. He guided Shreya through the Ashram which had lawns on the sides, greenery around, a medical camp, a small shopping zone, rooms for stay,a restaurant & Bhojanalay with a kitchen attached to it. Finally they went to the meditation hall. It was full of peace. There was a lot of positive vibration around. Both felt so lost in the serenity.
