I’m such an adventurous person, and I never miss an opportunity to go on an adventure and just I feel it gives me inner sense of satisfaction and joy. Once when I was in my bachelor’s degree, I had just completed my, uh, semester 2 exam, and it was a mini winter break for us. So me and my brother we both decided to go on a trip to Manali. Manali is a beautiful place. It has lush green valleys, pristine lake, and snow capped mountains. It is famously known for its paragliding activity. It is an activity which makes me feel petrified Even if I see somebody doing it, I pray to god that may that person land safely. So my brother is a more of adventurous person than me. So he told me that we are going to do paragliding I was in a stage of utter shock when I heard these words, uh, falling from his mouth. And I was like, are you serious? I’m not going to do it because I felt scared from inside. He took me to the spot. I was literally shivering at that time because I don’t know how can somebody trust string and balloon and can just rely their life on it. I was petrified, and I could not express my feelings, but after some time, I saw some people doing it, and I was so much skeptical. He forced me to do it, and I did it. I cannot express in words how exciting that activity was. I felt extremely happy after doing it. Moreover, it gave me adrenaline rush in the beginning, but at the end, it turned out to be an absolutely amazing experience. I will definitely give it another shot.

I'm such an adventurous person, and I never miss an opportunity to go on an adventure. I feel it gives me an inner sense of satisfaction and joy.

Manali is a beautiful place with lush green valleys, a pristine lake, and snow-capped mountains. It is famously known for its paragliding activity. Paragliding is an activity that makes me feel petrified even if I see somebody doing it. I pray to God that the person lands safely. My brother is more of an adventurous person than me. He told me that we were going to do paragliding. I was in a state of utter shock when I heard those words coming from his mouth. I was like, 'Are you serious? I'm not going to do it because I feel scared inside.' He took me to the spot. I was literally shivering at that time because I couldn't understand how somebody could trust a string and a balloon and rely their life on it. I was petrified and couldn't express my feelings. After some time, I saw some people doing it, and I was still skeptical. He forced me to do it, and I did. I cannot express in words how exciting that activity was.
