Most of the time the world we live is relatively smaller than what actually it is. A closed group of people, who follow a similar kind of practices, a lot of variety of foods but most of them falling under a very small no. of categories, synonymous ways of entertainment and interest. But we are all a lot happy with that. The truth is, it has taken a really long time for the human race to settle down with something like this, an identification for individual in someway rather than just one among the billions who roam around the world. So we should accept, the smaller our world is, the happier we are.
But I believe there is another side of it, which should be given some thought about. At the same time when you are walking in the daylight, someone else is facing the darkness of night. Even though everyone is on the same earth, someone is ahead of you in time and someone is lagging behind. When your day is too hot and you are waiting for a cool breeze, someone is getting frozen in the cold and eagerly looking for the warmth of the Sun. When you think something is a junk food for you, it is already the major meal for someone else. And et cetera, et cetera, et cetera... It is a long list that continues like the Hanuman's tail. Is it not worth while to see and experience some of them for atleast a short period of time? After all, our life is made up of events and experiences.
A travel is always fascinating, be it local, domestic or international. Visiting places and meeting new people makes it even more interesting. But the word International does have a special catch which mostly includes an experience of exploring a new geographical location or culture or langugage or all of them at a time. Being in India, the country with the most geographically diverse places and culturally diverse inmates, a domestic travel in itself is a combination of all those mentioned above. For a guy like me from the deep south of India, a trip to the north or north east is very different in those aspects. So, how does it feel to a guy like me to travel to a different continent altogether crossing different timezones as well ?
When many of us have the aspirations for that, quite a few get an opportunity for that. And today, I have become lucky enough to be one of them. And henceforth going to share some of those so called "experiences"..
(Will continue to bore you..)
