"Why did I leave home? Why am I here? Does any of this
make sense?" I kept questioning myself over and again. I just couldn't get
any right answers. But I wanted answers. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I started off from home this morning on this solo trip which
I thought would change my life forever. Like in the movies. Like in the books.
It is supposed to be one hell of a trip. I wanted to go on a solo trip to
change my life, to change everything, to feel the ultimate freedom, to know the
purpose of my life and here I am regretting myself for being fake. Yes, I'm
fake. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I've been planning this trip for the past two years, and
I've been saving money too. I did watch the movie "Into the Wild"
where a guy named "Christopher McCandless" goes to Alaska in search
of ultimate freedom. I read the book "Motorcycle Diaries" where Dr.
Ernesto Che Guevara goes on a trip with his friend on the bike
"La-Parodisa". All these books and movies inspired me to start this
journey. But now I realize that I'm not being true to myself, I'm not being
true at all. I'm not being true to anyone. Yes, I'm fake. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I wanted everyone to know that I'm going on this trip. I
even updated a Facebook status about this journey. I tweeted about this. I texted
my friends to let them know that I'm having a good time. I changed my WhatsApp
picture to let my Ex know about this trip. Yes, all I want is to let people
know that I'm a cool guy who goes on trips like this, and a matured human who
doesn't want to live in the so-called "Society". I remember listening
to an Eddie Vedder track last night. The lyrics go like "Society, you're a
crazy breed. I hope you're not lonely without me." It's such a beautiful
song. What was I doing while listening to it?! Oh yes, I was searching for
traveling quotes on Tumblr. I thought if I got a good one, I could make it my
profile picture. So that everyone in the "society" will know about my
trip. Yes, I'm fake. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I'm wearing shorts. I have my boots on. Why? Because those
things will look cool on photos. Christopher McCandless wears the same in
"Into the Wild". So here I am. I stopped the truck and got out. I
wanted to feel the wind. So I stretched out my hands and stood up like
crucified Jesus. Oh yes, I should feel the wind now right?! Am I feeling it?
No, I don't feel anything. Yes, I'm fake. I'm a crucified soul. I walked back
to the truck and got in. All I care is about two things. "Which picture to
upload first, and when to upload?!" I'm a super fake human being. Yes. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Being in the limelight is the most important thing for me.
That's what my life's goal is, and that's why I'm on this trip. I remember
reading Christopher McCandless... "I don't want to know what day it is,
what time it is. I don't want to see anyone. None of that matters". Now
that's not fake. He didn't tell that to anyone. He wrote that in his personal
diary and it was found after his death. And what did I do? I wrote the same
words. But not on a diary. I wrote on Facebook. Yes, to let everyone know that
I'm an intellectual fella who goes on solo trips like this. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
You've met two kinds of people here. Christopher McCandless,
and Ernesto Che Guevara, two true souls. Greg Parker, a fake human. A fake
soul. My heart whispered to myself over and again "Yes, I'm fake."
This is not how you go on solo trips. This is not how you feel the ultimate
freedom. This not how you find the purpose of your life. I can't do this
anymore. I have decided. I'm going back home. I shifted to reverse gear. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
Because now I know, "It's better to stay back and do
nothing rather than being fake".</div>
<o:p></o:p></div>

"If this was a porn video, it'd get a million hits", she said.<br />
<br />
"Lets shoot it then", I suggested.<br />
<br />
She smiled at me like an innocent child, and said. "Fuck you".<br />

I tickled her navel. She laughed and got out of the bed. She loves<br />

when i do that. My hands were dying to tickle her again, but she ran<br />
to the toilet. I followed her. We were like two year olds wandering<br />
around the house naked, playing like kindergarten kids, and doing<br />
whatever we wanted to. Or may be, playing with our life.<br />
<br />
We got into the bathroom. She switched on the shower. I put my hands<br />
on her butt and pulled her close. This is what happens when two slim<br />
bodies hug. Each and every part of me touches her. Each and every hair<br />
bonds. I grabbed her hair, and I went inside her for the fifth time. I<br />
dont know why I was counting, but I was really accurate about it.<br />
<br />
"Merging of philosophies", she said.<br />
<br />
"What?". It did interrupted the course.<br />
<br />
"Sex, its the merging of philosophies". She replied.<br />
<br />
"Does that make us a single philosophy now?" I asked.<br />
<br />
"Unless and until you're out of my body, Yes we are one single<br />
philosophy". She said.<br />
<br />
I wish I could have sex with her words. Whatever she spits out is<br />
well polished with honesty, and nothing is more sexier than a naked<br />
woman spitting out naked truths. Sometimes it'll make you fall for<br />
her, and sometimes it will tear you apart.</div>

But he'll be sitting on the couch staring at the newspaper, and then<br />
looking at me. I know he wants me to blush. Then only we both can<br />
smile at mom and make fun of her. I still remember those good old<br />
days, and still can't forget that one bad day, 19 September 1998. It<br />
was his birthday. We were waiting for him at our grandpa's house. We<br />
were all set to give him a surprise. But it ended he surprising us by<br />
tearing our heart apart. I remember getting that phone call from Steve<br />
uncle.<br />
<br />
I remember him saying in a shivering tone, "Jake, Tell Cathy to come<br />
to my home. Now."<br />
<br />
I knew something was wrong. I gave the phone to my mom. The next<br />
thing I remember is seeing her in the hospital at Rhode Island. I dont<br />
know why, but I still don't remember what happened after that phone<br />
call. I get to know from the doctors that she fainted while talking on<br />
phone. My 7 year old brain didn't understand anything happening there.<br />
<br />
September 26th. I remember sitting with Steve uncle. Its been one<br />
week since I have heard from Dad. Steve uncle was sending a message on<br />
his lap. I looked at the screen and started reading it.<br />
<br />
Sender : Steve McDin<br />
<br />
Receiver : Fr. Johnson Den<br />
<br />
Message : "Here lies the soul of Tim Davidson, father of Jake and the<br />
loving husband of Cathy". This what we need to be engraved on the<br />
grave. I have sent a copy to the church also. Regards.<br />
<br />
Message ended. My heart almost stopped beating. I ran to my room, and<br />
hit the bed. I never wanted to wake up from there. The man who used to<br />
blush at me to make fun of mom, died. The man who used to take me to<br />
Beach every weekend, and tells me to dream about our life goals by<br />
looking at the waves, died. The man who takes me to church on every<br />
sunday, and tells me not to put the money on the church box, but<br />
insists to give it to the beggars standing outside the church, died.<br />
The man who told me a man who doesn't spend time with his family is<br />
not a man at all, died. The man who was my mentor, my father, my<br />
friend, my everything, died.<br />
<br />
Its been 14 years, and I'm sitting on this shore, holding the Tobacco<br />
Pipe bowl which he used. I will never burn it. I'll just hold it like<br />
he used to hold it. Its like holding his hands, and I've always wanted<br />
to correct what Steve uncle said.<br />
<br />
"Here lies the body of Tim Davidson, not his soul. His soul belongs<br />
to Jake Davidson."</div>
