Traveller's Foot is itchy again....

I long to see the sun set over a meadow

I long to wash my feet with the dust out there

The moon shall peep from the carriage window

And I wish to touch the horizon..again

My travellers’ foot is itchy again…..

With a heart yearning for new horizons and an itchy foot ready to move, I cannot more agree with the adage, “Life is a journey”.

Journey though it is, it has not been the same throughout all these years.  Yes I have been a passionate traveler but I see myself having changed from the spontaneous traveler who would just pick up a backpack and board a train to, being quite an organized person who books tickets and accommodation well in advance.  What’s more, I thoroughly study the place to be visited.

The change was inevitable. Once I was an adventurous traveler who would pick up her baggage and meet hubby and his team mates, at the sleepy aloof Bercha railway station at small little town of Shajapur and that I did at about 4 in the morning!  I would board the train, share the berth with one of the girls from the group, go to sleep peacefully with my head near her feet and share the same bed sheet to cover myself.  The entire gang would then sing their way to the destination, search for accommodation and also put up at the most unusual places like old music schools, forbidden houses, upmarket lodges, sometimes spend an entire night on sand dunes.  The return journey would be equally adventurous since the tickets hardly were confirmed.  But then, the discomforts notwithstanding, we enjoyed a lot.  My hubby and his team members shared the same spirit, may be more and we did ROCK.

Times changed and now I often travel with more luggages and with much more caution.  The reason, my baby and sometimes my Ma, travel with me.  Thus, I travel ALONE..with two suitcases, one backpack, a laptop, a baby and a mother.   And thus the superbly organized planning for any travel.  I have more than enough food; the Amul tetrapacks, the medicines, first aid, Vitamins, all find a place in my travel bag.

Despite the change, the passion has not subsided and thus, this blog is dedicated to my travel experiences.  This will be my travel diary which I wish to share with my friends.

Thanks Nikhil for that extra dextrose dose for travel you have injected in me and I will soon thank you for that new camera too…
