Travel..

Do you like travelling? 









I always had passion for travel, may be because of my childhood memories. My parents and me used to travel often during summer vacations. Mostly travelled around whole of Tamil Nadu, India. 

May be I just love the idea of travelling, right from packing stuffs, counting down the number of days to start of the trip, seeing around new places, trying out the famous local food. Loved doing every single thing about the travel! 

As years passed on, just re-kindling my memory on how this passion grew in me. The person behind my passion is my dad, who was also a History Teacher by profession. He shared a lot of Tamil history to me. We used to travel to different places in Tamil Nadu, relating to the History. At home, we used to have many Maps (not google map, Hard copy of official Maps!) World Map, India Map, State Map, District Maps etc.. This helped me to see through the geography of places. Note: I have my own World map, and mark the places visited :) 

Some travel habits that got ingrained in me... reading name boards of shops to know where are we while travelling (Yes... there were no GPS/ google maps then). Dad used to see the vehicle number plates to know which place they are registered to.. I still subconsciously check on the number plates to see which state, city the vehicles belong to..,

Special mention, Thanks to my Geography Teacher, Mrs. Kalavathi, she always insists on having an Atlas in her class (I still have that Atlas with me!). This kindled my curiosity even more, and cultivated a thought to check on the various geographies of the Earth! 

These days travel became a thing, very easy one, ample of information around to plan and execute it well. Next leap might be tour to a  different planet, which I'm sure will happen in future! So, if you have slightest interest in travelling please go for it! Do it now! Explore places, create memories! I tell myself this statement, "Better now than never".

Last but not the least, I cannot conclude this topic without mentioning my sweet mother. She pushed me to go behind my passion. Thanks to her, I came out of my comfort zone and beginning to explore the world in my own way.  Also starting a travel journal shortly, hope it will useful to someone out there.

Health..

How are you?!! Days getting busier to all of us and a quick pulse check.. "how are you .." Have you ever asked yourself how you are doing,. We should take time to listen to our body, it gives signals to even slightest change in the routine inside which is like a wake up call. Normally we tend to ignore it or go past it. We should start listening to us. It's always good to take care of self, so that we could take care of our loved ones.  Recently I experienced a reality check which showed me how physically unfit I am! (no kidding.. it's fact).  In 2022 I came out of my comfort zone and gave myself some me-time, completed some of the items from long pending and lengthy " To do " list. Experienced travelling, surrendered to the nature, created some blissful memories. And then reality hit me hard. I was in a trip to Bali and had to walk a lot to get to the famous natural tourist spots. It was 7 days trip, and I pushed myself for few days.. may be out of enthusi...

Hope.. Belief..

Our lives are mostly like a roller coaster rides, lots of ups and downs. It reminds me of a scene in one of k-drama series , someone would ask the protagonist to draw a graph of his life. It starts from zero and goes to a peak, then goes way down even beneath the ground level... it was funny to watch, but I had felt exactly the same. So much happened that sometimes I couldn't realise the goodness around me. I would feel like it's not my cup of coffee. I became so hard on me, stayed away from rest of the world. I loved being in my very own world.  My mother always said that what we think comes to us, if we fill our thoughts with positivity then we attract positive things. I admire her very much for being my positivity. Despite of all her health conditions right from my childhood, I never saw her complaining about anything. She loved her teaching job, did everything meticulously and her students adored her very much.  She never scolded anyone, always encourages everyone. She us...
