Banned Territories

There are some places you can not go to. Not because someone will kick you out of those places, but because you know you can not afford to re visit them. They can be something as simple as a corner of street or as big as a city. You just can not make yourself go there because they just swipe you off your feat and make you time travel.

Time travel. Time travel to the past which is not always pleasant or may be just too good to think of because it does not exist anymore.

I call them ‘Banned Territories.’

(I have one. I never like to go there. )

Sometimes you underestimate the power those places have. You go there to test yourself , and see how it feels. Whether they still empower your mind and soul. Whether you can still go back in time.

And so you go there anyway.

Sometimes it is relief. It is sense of freedom. You go there and you will feel nothing. That time does not travel anymore. And you know its ok. That territory is not banned anymore.

And then sometimes it is a shock. You go there, and you see everything. You still smell the same air. But you can’t smell yourself anywhere, and you wonder what happened. You see the articles have been shifted but some things are the same, only you can’t touch them anymore. You look around, and notice all the changes. You look around and suddenly it hits you, this is where you were happy. This is where you wanted to be. And this is where you’ll never be…

Time travels. And you see yourself sitting right there in your happy place. And all that happens in mere span of 15 minutes.

15 minutes and you know why you should not have been there…..

May be you should wait longer before going there again. May be you can never go there. May be some places always fall under ‘Banned territories.’
