Around the world in Eighty days....

Let your imagination run wild while you read about the antics of Phileas Fogg and his French valet Passepartout touring all around the world with a rescued Indian princess and a Scotland yard detective mistaking him as a bank robber.
OR
Get out there, like the television presenter Michael Palin did, and make that expedition yourself! The chance of finding a gorgeous Indian prince/princess on the way is slim, but you will certainly enrich yourself with the wisdom of the world we live in!

I do not know enough to work for Travel and Living but I have come to understand that the more one travels the smaller this planet seems to get…

When you embark on a journey…

You will interact with people who might never cross your path again...some eccentric and some almost angel like!

You will see sights that you may not visit again!

There is a thrill in getting lost and having to find your way back!

It’s always a pleasure to have your companions travel with you, but, it’s a pain to stick to a tour company!


The quirky me has travelled on a train with a ticket of an expired date( can’t believe how I managed to reach ahmedabad from pune on a jam packed train in 3rd AC inspite of that) and till date I check for my passport ten thousand times for fear of loosing it!

I harbour a passion for travel but there is a long way to go before I can call myself a connoisseur at it!
Need to earn my living first ;)

as soon as travel word comes to my mind..one picture comes in front of me..thanks to photographic memory i have..lol. But tht has been essence of my life till now. It was from a doordarshan serial back in 1980's...abt a guy who is lonely,traveller help everyone..nicesy guy ever..he is sleeping on a charpai n his sleepers on top of each other.( in indian mythology tht means there travel on the cards)..director wants us to belive the now he is dead n embarking on another journey. so travel has a bigger meaning than seeing diff places!!
