What and Why - Travel:

I like to travel. It's probably a cliche to say that. I have not travelled much in India. What is travel about anyway? That's what I'll try to answer here. Let's see.

• Travel is a means of discovery, exploration. You discover a part of yourself when you travel and that's probably why I am even writing this blog.
  
• It is a means of unwinding from an otherwise monotonous life.
• It is a step closer to the all powerful nature
• It feels good for the body and the mind.
• You don't notice the passing of time when you travel which means that you are happy and are living the moment without thinking about anything else.
• It allows the mind to focus and be engrossed in something.
• It is what you can do to get to know more about our planet and what all is there on it.
• It is a means to get to know more people, various cultures and probably a means to understand life itself.
• It gives something to talk about to your friends and family and amuse them with your travel stories.
• It is a sense of adventure and a feeling that you have accomplished something more than the ordinary.
• It improves the health of body & mind.
• Everytime I travel, I learn something. My mind needs constant work.
• It is a means of being creative because you don't know what you are going to run into - same as exploration and discovery.
• It is a means for me to take landscape pictures and appreciate the beauty of nature and gives an opportunity for being creative.
• I personally attach a lot of value to exploration and discovery and coming up with some great shots which others haven't taken before. To me it is important to do something above the ordinary. At the same time, it is also important for me to do the ordinary extraordinary things like visiting Grand Canyon, etc.
• You come back from the trip charged up to continue your everyday activities.
