Gyaan varsha !!!!

It's around 2 o'clock in night, I am sitting at the rear seat of the cab returning back home from office. The cab driver as always is in a hurry. I sometimes wonder why all the cab drivers are in hurry, or is it the way they drive? Wonder what they do in bed when with their wives.
With each turn the cab takes, my body sways from one end of the car to the other and I silently scream a BC in my heart. Finally when he jumped the car over a speed breaker, the silent scream was no longer silent, but the driver didn't mind.
After a while when we are about to reach my home and he enters the narrower roads, a dog starts running behind the car and barking at full capacity of his lungs (I am sure this is a familiar site for most indians living in metro cities). The driver looks at me in the rear view mirror and asks "sir ji, aapko pata hai ye kuttey aise kyon bhoonktey aur bhaagtey hain gaadiyo ke peechey"??.
I had no idea and I expected the cab driver a well-travelled guy, so I politely said "nahi.... kyon"??
And he continues...." sir ji ... iski naa girlfriend ko koi car wala maar ke chala gaya hoga, ab ye bechara har car ko wohi car samajh ke uske peechey ghussey se bhaagta hai" !!!
I once more silently scream a BC one again.....only this time a long one.

How travelling helps !!!

Time heals all wounds ... true it may sound because you have heard it a little too much.

Time never heals any wound, it's what you do with the time that heals. The only logical explanation of this belief is that the further you get away from an event in time lesser the pain is felt that is associated with the event, this happens because in time, our brain covers up with other memories and events.

 

If you have a disturbed soul I highly recommend traveling, especially traveling solo, please note that I mentioned "travelling solo" and not "travelling alone"; because you possibly can never travel alone. A traveller is always in the company of strange people.

If you travel, You will meet fantastic people, come across spectacular sights, and learn much about yourself. You will return knowing a little more about the world, but most importantly, you will return enriched.

 

When you travel, you’re constantly sharing experiences and learning new things with all the new people you meet. From the people you share your seats in the buses and trains, from the people you meet in hotels, from the people you see in restraunts. From the Namastey, hello, ram-ram, julley, adaab, from the smiles of the children you can't help but feel happy. You unknowingly soak so much from the sites, sounds, tastes, and touches of cultures, that you want more to come your way and you keep moving from one place to other, from one people to other, from one food to other.

 

It’s nice to live life to its fullest and enjoy a stress free time with yourself. Travelling lets us recharge our “batteries” by disconnecting us from our regular life. When we come back we feel invigorated and we are happy to be back in our day to day routine. It’s a very good stress remover that has a lot more to give than most people are willing to accept. Travelling allows us to view different ways of living and it is fantastic for the mind. It gives us a new perspective about our life, it can help us change some of our habits or even create new ones.

When I travel I usually make it a point to try new food.

 

Here is another thing I read on the internet, With soaring oil prices the cheap travel era might be coming to an end. However there are still many budget airlines fighting for your money right now. With the internet and all the new technology, you can plan your trip exactly the way you want it. You can choose your budget, the duration of the trip and what you want to do.
