Today I'm going to describe a place where I go to when I need to get calm. This is a small village in our country Sudan. It's located about 40 kilometers to the south of the main capital city which is called Khartoum. This small village is populated by about 60,000 people. They work in various different jobs. Some of them are soldiers, some merchants and others work in different governmental administrations and ministries. Whenever I go there, I start visiting my friends and relatives. In addition to that, I go almost daily to the river which is located about 3 kilometers from my home. In the river, I enjoy swimming and fishing. Also, I have the usual habit of going to the football stadium to watch the football matches with my friends. My last time I visited this area was six months ago.

First of all, I would like to talk about seashore. So, seashore is present in the coastal area of India. I move to seashore using my bike or scooter and I feel relaxed. The winds, the wind breeze from the sea and the harmonious sound created by the ocean waves gives charm and energy to myself. It also improves my thought and ideas about the nature, thus enhancing my creativity. During my visit to seashore, I often play with the tide and also with the street animals. It is really a charming and a wonderful moment to enjoy life. Having a good sea walk or a boat ride refreshes my mind and it helps me to enjoy the day with lot of enthusiasm and fill myself with positive energy. It gives a lot of potential feelings of nature and drives me to learn scuba diving or sea surfing. It is really one of the best moments where I feel relaxed. Although there are some restrictions for scuba diving or surfing in the ocean, but it really makes the day very, very delightful. It also helps myself to grow.

The place I am able to relax is actually my hometown only. It might be strange that do you relax in your hometown only, not interested in travel like that. But to me my hometown is the place where I enjoy and relax the most. As I was raised since my childhood in my hometown only. I love my hometown very much. Now coming to the core topic. It is located in Andhra Pradesh. To be more precise at the border of Andhra Pradesh. So it is a melting pot of both Tamil and Telugu culture. The weather is great. It is hot during summers, cold during winters, rainy during rain seasons. Actually I live there so I don't need to travel anywhere to relax. I feel very grateful towards my parents for raising me in such a beautiful town. I feel that without Tirupati my identity is missing. Furthermore Tirupati is the place of temples and pilgrims. A lot of tourists and pilgrims come to Tirupati everyday. There are around 7000 visitors every year.

views. I am able to relax at the beach, evening the beach, sunset beach. I like the beaches very much because I do enjoy more often going to the beaches. So, because this busy schedule and daily routines, we have unnecessary headaches. We cannot concentrate and we cannot take our self about ourselves. So, I love to go to Goa and watch our self sitting at the beach watching the sunsets under a walking fire on the beach for one hour, two hours. It makes me so relaxed.

So, I am a person who has taken up my career in a different city, where I am originally from Chennai, but I have shifted my location to Hyderabad for pursuing my career there. So I am working there full time in Hyderabad, so coming back to my home is really the best relaxing place I feel, coming back to my home, to my personal room where I sleep, because right now in Hyderabad we are in a shared apartment and things like that, but believe me when I say home is really the sweet spot for me, my bed, my room is my sweet spot for me to relax and hang around, that is how it was to me until my college days, but right now it has changed, I would always look forward to come back to my home, that is where I really enjoy my time, it is really amazing to be at my home, at my comfort zone, and also I enjoy my time by relaxing, by listening to music in my room or reading a book, things like that, which I enjoy doing at my alone time, and also I always wanted to be...

So, I really think that home, particularly my bed, is the place where I am able to relax the most. It's very comfy and relaxing. Even when I go out and I come back at home, I seem to spend most of my day in my bed when I am at home. Even when I go out for a few days, like on a business trip or somewhere, I tend to miss my bed the most. It feels like warm and hugs me like perfectly, so yeah. Even now I am moving abroad, the most thing I will be missing is my bed itself. It's neither too soft nor too hard. It's the thing that I like the most about my bed.

Due to a hectic lifestyle, we all need a place where we can go and sit for some time, so that we can relax ourselves. I usually go to the nearest mountain named as Pawagat, also described as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. It has mountain hills. It gets foggy and cloudy during monsoon. Very few people know this place. It's not yet explored by some of the well-known travelers and travel bloggers. I often visit this place on weekends. I have to trek for two and half minutes to reach at this place. It also requires to use a cable car to reach even at the higher spot than this. I visit this place on my own without any friend or relative. I like solo travel and I often find peace and calm at this place. It is far away than city's traffic and any other kind of noise. It's a hill area, so we find so many cattle around there getting feed by grass. It has a small temple located at the corner of that hill. I also visit this temple and I know the main person who used to be a manager of this temple. I often visit this place with a cup of tea and some snacks, so that I can sit there and relax myself. I use this place to meditate quite a lot. In fact, some of these places are very rare nowadays, which can actually help us to relax ourselves and focus on our breath. This mountain is 6 kilometers far from my residence.
