Travel And Explore

Source

Are you among those who love to travel? If yes then this blog is dedicated to you. Traveling is one of those things in life that can truly be referred as fantastico experience. The reason for it has been reiterated not once but many a times but I guess it would be worth reiterating the same through this blog.

Have you ever watched those movies where the protagonist loves to travel or is an avid traveler? How you have felt about that? Does it inspire you to go out of your house and explore the whole world? It does inspire me. Travel is one thing that has always interested me since I was a kid. I haven’t visited many places but I can say one thing for sure that I love it when I travel.

When I travel I feel the momentum of time. I feel as if I am strolling with time at its speed. When I travel I can think about my life and think straight. From the time I board my bus to the time I alight, I can think of all things that have happened in my life and those thoughts are nothing but fantastico for me.

When you travel to a new place you learn a lot. When I say about learning it is not just about learning about a new place or new culture or new people but it is more related to learning about you. The way you respond to the newness or the way you respond to the lifestyle of the new place helps you develop a better understanding of yourself.

I have often heard this statement that individuals who have travelled a lot are more experienced and mature in most cases. It is something that I cannot generalize for everyone but I support the fact that individuals who have travelled more are more ready for life.

What makes those individuals so ready for life? It is the courage to accept change and getting accustomed to it. Wind blowing across your face as you sits next to the window seat in a bus or hot tea at 2:00 AM on deserted railway platform, travel has its own fantastic memories. One of the main reasons why travelling is fantastic is because of the memories that are created. These memories are way different from the ones that you have in your life.

I often planned to explore new places around and out of city to get to know about surroundings in a better way. For me exploring and travelling is something that everyone should indulge in. It makes you feel confident and independent. Traveling is fantastic and awesome in all the aspects.

When I first travelled alone to Mysore I was a little scared but now when I look back, I can without hesitation say that it was one of the finest memories that I have. From then on I have visited few places and with every trip I became a lot more confident and aware.

Travel little and explore a lot. Don’t miss the fantastico experience.

Chaotic Peace

When you ask someone where they love to drive, one of the most answers that you get is about the place which has broad roads or scenic beauty. It is more or less related to pleasure for eyes and ease of driving. Even I like riding/driving on broad deserted roads where there is plenty of picturesque stuff to look at but if you would ask me which city I love drive in then it would be my city Indore.

People often say that if you can drive in Rajwada then you can drive anywhere and even I agree to that. When you drive through the city, you would only see chaos. People are busy, traffic is jam packed, vehicles breathing down each other’s neck, continuous honking and all that happening at the same time. Just five minutes in traffic can easily stress you out but traffic is the beauty of driving in Indore. All the things happening are in perfect harmony. Whether it is rumbling of engines or honking of cars, they seem to create a music of their own. You would see a cart puller trying to make his way to the other side of the road while a cyclist trying to spear head through the traffic. You just have to come out of the traffic and look at it with a different perspective. So much happening and so many lives getting connected to each other at that very moment. You can see many lives playing right in front of you.

It is just not traffic that Indore roads offer you. There are some great broad roads where you can have fun driving your car in peace. MR10 will serve as the best place for that. You can also steer towards Agra-Bombay road, if you like driving on national highways. People in Indore are also helpful. And if you want to do a little networking then you can easily find individuals ready to discuss about anything under the sun. One thing that every Indore dweller has is opinion and they will not hesitate in sharing that with you. They love to talk and same is applicable to listening. You can connect with individuals in an instant. If you are talking about Indore then how can you not talk about its awesome tasting food? If you are among those who love to eat, then you would find an instant connect with Indore and people of Indore.

Indore might appear as a city full of chaos but the way Indore carries that chaos elegantly is because of its fine design and its impeccable infrastructure. Ring road around Indore binds the whole city and its residents into one entity and if you are in Indore then it will embrace you and bind you in itself. Indore is in Madhya Pradesh or in central zone, which makes it easy for people from different zones to visit her. Public transport is also quite good and has real good connectivity to other states too. Visit Indore once to taste its awesome food and to taste its awesome spirit.
