Running away from home

The year of 1992-1993-1994 are most important in my life. I was facing severe frustration. Reading lots of books from childhood. Mind was flooded with adventures and lot more other things. I am curious about almost everything surround me. since childhood I was not seen any healthy competition around me.

During my adolescence I was curious about lots of thing. The teenage is age when you are most curious about the lots of thing. It is time to undergo lots of changes physical and psychological as well. you are in such position that you cannot discuss some issues with anybody. If you speak with your peers they are not mature enough to understand the stray thoughts. There might be few lucky children who get parents as their best friends. but honestly it is very rare to find.

since childhood I had participated in lots of competitions. all most all kind. I was never pressured by my parents to do certain things. Due to my reading habits. My mind was flooded with lots of things. I was in search of something new. something different from others, not a regular.

I was undergone in severe frustration during 1992-93. I was just kid in 9th std. It was the year I broke all conventions and I ran away from home. I was told to bring some stuff from market . Mother told me to get money from her pocket. I had taken extra money from pocket and just landed to my native place. My native place is almost 600 Km away from Mumbai. whole act was out of frustration. I left the home around 7.00 pm in evening. The journey was quite good but under stress. I just travel to Mumbai Central and catch the State transport bus to my Native place.

Next day early morning I landed up in my native place. I visited one big school for help. I made up a story that my uncle brought to this place and left without informing me. I am alone in this world. I want to study further. My uncle is not good person. I don't want to go back with my uncle. The teachers in school treated me very nicely. but they must be having doubt that I had running away from home.

The school head mistress told me that school will give you the admission as well as try for accommodation but I have to produce my previous school leaving certificate. Even they insisted to visit the Advocate near by to finished with other formalities. submitting the affidavit behalf of me. Even they escorted me to advocate. The advocate was young and in his mid thirties. He asked me few questions and told me to write down everything whatever I told him. I don't want to be in big trouble. I just escape from advocates office in excuse of not having a paper for writing. Nobody wants to deal with trouble so he didn't stop me.

I just walk for miles. Constantly thinking about next action plane. even not having a bath so I visited a near by swimming pool to wash of my body. Early morning I was wondering from place to place. In the end of the day I decided to go to my grandmothers home. My grandmother's house was five kilometer away from main city.

I took last local bus to my village. once get down at village I started asking people about providing shelter for me, "I am ready to give a rent." but some villagers recognize me. they deliberately taken me to my grandmother's home. I was acting like stranger to my grandmother.

Telephone was luxury at that time. we didn't have phone at our home. somebody called up our home and inform that I had reached safely to grandmother's home. but I am not remembering anything.
My cousin brother was studying in Miraj. he visited the place in the evening. I acted I don't recollect anything. I was firm on my story.


Next morning my father arrived from Mumbai to the village. seeing my father I deliberately act like fainted on ground. They splash some water on my face. I just opened my eyes and asked typical bollywood style question," Mai kaha hu." I made up another story that I am not remembering anything. "How I reached to native place". although I was lying to depend myself. My parents and relative and others was without choice but accept my version of truth. I travel back home with my father. In psychology this act is known as "Pathological lie" that I came to know in my 11th std. while studying psychology.

After this incident. The news was spread like a fire. everybody was discussing about my mysterious behavior running away from home. I have to face lots of teasing from others. This was first incident of running away from home. It's give me lots of exposure to outside world. The incident took place almost fifteen year back.
