DIARY OF A TRAVELLER

As a child and as a teenager I have been fortunate to travel to quite a number of places spread across the breadth and width of India, right from the shores of Kanyakumari to the rocky mountains of Rohtang Pass, from the blue city of Jodhpur, to the Indo-Nepal border near Darjeeling. And it was not limited to Indian boundaries also. Some trips were in the company of family while others were adventure camps conducted by my school.  This article describes each travelling experience and for the sake of easy reading, is broken into each describing a different tourist trip,in chronological order.

The earliest trip I remember vaguely was when we took a trip around Tamil Nadu-Kanyakumari, Rameshwaram, Madurai, Thanjavore, Trichy I was around 6.5 years and used to live in Chennai, so I have a very faint memory of the trip. All I remember is that during the trip I used to insist on changing my clothes every time we went to a new town. Once on reaching Madurai from another place, it was getting late, so we decided to visit the temple directly. I was very stubborn during that time and wanted to go to the temple wearing only pavada and not any other dress. So finally I managed to change my dress in the van itself !

 

There have been many memories of my trips and some of them have had a long lasting impression on my mind. One of them is the trip to Himachal Pradesh which I have described in more detail in the next post.
