Travel

Team outing? yeah one of those corporate drama of spending money at the cost of the customer's billed hours.

So what is traveling? Is that just traveling to some well known location and getting one photographed at various locations and subsequently upload them to a photo sharing site, share it with friends. Is that all travel is?

Traveling always amazed me but I hate being a tourist. When I think of my past, I never participated in class tours, never participated in a school excursion. I never understood why I used to hate them, but today when I am aware of my cognition, I am trying to reason those behavior. Maybe because I hated to be a part of the guided tour, or maybe because I wanted to travel to those places on my own.

When I go to a new place, I prefer to be the part of the place, to drink a bowl of Thuppa when in Leh or eat dosa and fish curry when I am in Kerala. So I travel for the heck of traveling, I know few of my acquaintance who really has travel in there blood and do it in a spiritual level. I am sure that majority of the travelers are pseudo travelers and I am sure It takes a lot to authentically say that "I love to travel", I am yet to discover that.

Goa Logs

Bangalore - Goa was a breeze! halted at Udipi, met with the Silver Bullets and rode together to Goa. Return leg Goa - Bangalore was bit messy. Rain ride from Goa to Shimoga. i.e around 9hrs of rain ride after 4-5 hrs of heavy rain even my FieldSheer was leaking and the Duckback rain gear also gave up. Completely soaked and had to ride 22hrs to get back to Bangalore. but it was fun....
some pics of the ride ..
