I always had a penchant towards traveling,since childhood days when I was studying in Class II.During summer vacations we usually used to visit my uncle's place in village.Moving out of Orissa (my native state) was hardly feasible during those times, because of several unavoidable circumstances like Dad's official professional pre-occupations,family responsibilities etc.But I always longed to venture out of my state and explore the verstality of my country, about which I had studied so lot in my Social Studies Books.
Witty sand dunes and royal companies of colorful Rajasthan,mouth watering aroma Dhokla and energetic Dandia of Gujarat,enchanting cave paintings of Ajanta-Ellora, lost glory of Hampi,relaxing evenings on house boats in the lagoons (back waters) of Kerala, fascinating temples of Madurai,mesmerising sunset of Cape Camorin (Kanyakumari), capitavating aroma of Darjeeling Tea, wild dates with single horn Rhinos,snowy summits along Himalayan ranges right upto the holy heights of Kedarnath and Badrinath , charming heaven on earth-Kashmir valley and chilling terrains of Ladakh , were calling me to be explored and admired, but I was always waiting for the right time.As years rolled on ,my desire to capture the best of the Indian culture,landscape,terrain and traditions went on multiplying by leaps and bounds.
Now after securing a job based in Bangalore and still SINGLE, I feel time is right to pursue my passion to explore my INDIA, and my beautiful planet !
