DAY 219 (The Dream page of a Travelogue...!)

I was never a traveler initially. But then as you grow up... probably the world starts getting smaller for you. Your veranda isn't enough to play; you need a park. Your bicycle isn't enough to ride; you need a motor-bike. Your fountain-pen doesn't make you big enough; you need those fancy gel pens.
Then you grow up more and then geographically you feel clogged up ..sometimes bored. You take a random trip maybe within a 500-1000 km of your place and suddenly you find it refreshing. And then you wonder...why didn't I do it before ever?

Well...I don't know if it happened with other "lately-declared-travellers" but thats my story.

So, then I traveled a little in India... going a little further than 3000 km too and I found it interestingly interesting enough to continue the adventure!

One day...out of my utter reluctance also, I got a chance to visit outside country as well. It just gave me wings you can say. I had missed out on a lot of things for half of my life... I realised.

And now the status is...that even my minimum to maximum savings scream out a travel vacation!!

The latest one in the list is Paris. :-)

There are multiple reasons for Paris...

* Romantic city..and I am getting married in a couple of weeks ;-)

* Sweetheart childhood soul-friend is there...who has been begging me to visit before she leaves and she might leave after this year

* I find it a friendly alive city ...full of people whose native language is unknown to me and that makes it even more exciting!

* There is one of the 7 wonders of world there.

* My dad has always been eager to change his nationality to French...thats what reflects his love for the place and the memories of his visit there which happened some good 7-8 years ago.

* And it is everyone's dream!! :-)

So now I am saving every penny that I can...
I am eyeing on all those innocent friends whom I can beg for money anytime and they won't bind me with a deadline to return the money ;-)
and I am tempting my would-be (who has always been tempted for Paris so its not much of a workload :-P ) to just make it happen.

It might be a travel of a lifetime and it might be too short to end as well. But it will be a major part + achievement of my travelogue (if someday I have any).

And even if something goes wrong..or I am not able to make there when I want...
Well...dreams won't cost me anything to pay a visit ;) So I might just bluff :-) ;-)

    Visiting your blog after a long time. Just one piece of advise for your Paris trip, stay alert in Metros/Subways and on public places, the stealing part in Paris is on high toll. You are standing on a station, some people will come and ask you for a address or for some help in buying ticket from machine, they indulge you in conversation and suddenly some one from gang comes and snatch away your hand bag or whatever they feel is snatch-able.

    Its my personal experience from my visit to there in June 13.

DAY 321 (Bring the change!)

 If you are a mother and if you keep cribbing about societal issues and the way kids have been brought up in our generation, keep reading. Well, every generation have their own issues and we all progress in a way or another. But even after generations of changes there is one common issue which is discussed in all forums (professional and personal/ formal and informal/ planned and unplanned) is patriarchy.  I am not one of those feminist who advocate for the world to turn into a matriarch to take revenge on the oppression generations of women have been facing. I honestly vote for equality. And I think most of us do. However, what do we actually do to bring that change?  Apart from discussing and being profound at the takeaways, I don’t think there is any progressive step that we actually take. I do feel that to take the step it does not have to be groundbreaking. Everything starts at home and so this solution starts at home too.  Most of the time, we start discussing ...

DAY 91 (Yukkkk..!!!)

Another GODFATHER for guys is out now....and yes I am talking about LSD (Love Sex and Dhoka) ! Standing ovation for Miss Ekta Kapoor who chose to leap from the head to toe covered Saas and bahus to directly all nude perverts...!!  I have seen guys being so curious for this movie probably because its been a long time after DEV D for them to watch something "meaningful" like this. I find you tube links of the promos and the special songs of the movie in their social networking site's status and they are just so proud of that. I am ...and I am sure every girl is amazed with the criteria of their meaningfulness! Either everything yukkkyyyy is just their type or they have not been keen to explore any other thing in the world than this! I am sick and tired of the caller tunes which I get to hear now whenever I call up any one of them and then I just do not want to talk any further after that. I believe learning Biology compulsorily till class 10th atleast has given only t...

DAY 105 (When life is awesome...!!)

As I was about to join a job...people told me..that you are gonna lose all your independence and happiness now....cutting off the social network by default...and then you'll realize...what a mess it is and what golden days those 10 "doing-nothing" months were! I used to just shrug it off...because I do not like to predict like everyone else. And now...most of them have got the answers. I have never been happier than this. I do all I missed to do ever...all I loved to do ever...with my grey cells working in parallel as well which is like a perk! Playing table tennis,an urge to learn guitar or atleast try to do so was like few of the things I could never carry on with...due to zillions of factors. But where there is a will...there is a way! I got all I desired packed up in the most beautiful and satisfactory environment ever. What else could I ask for? I have met like some of the most interesting and loveliest people ever (I know...that in professional life...everyon...
