traveLOGue

A good traveler does not know where he is going to. A perfect traveler does not know where he has come from either.
Going by these definitions may be its not possible to call oneself a traveler . People travel for various reasons. To see new places. To meet new people. But traveling need not always be for these reasons. The bit of traveling I do is usually to get back in touch with the old rather than to see something new. To catch up with friends and their lives. To see how time has worked its magic through them or how it has left one frozen defying the very passage of time.
After spending a humungous amount of time (the past three and a half years!!) trying to make friends out of acquaintances it is only now the realisation dons that friendship isn’t the norm. Rather it’s that rare phenomenon which makes it quintessential to treasure it when you discover it. So now, here is me treasuring my knowledge. And traveling is just one of the most fun ways to go about doing it.
