About Me

CURRENT MISSION

You are not happy until you are dead

ABOUT ME

Well travelling is the headiest of all wines and I just love to move on and on till life ebbs out of me. I get a kick going to new places and seeing the way of life of the people there instead of seeing some skyscraper in a new country.

PHILOSOPHY

Live and let live alive today gone tommrow change is the most essential part of our existence. It is better to travel than to arrive.Let us make life here on earth a Paradise than hope for a Paradise after death.

Interests

Do we?

Music, Movies, and Books

I generally like to read travelogues and books by Michael Palin. I like pictures like the Godfather, Von Ryans Express, Operation Daybreak,War and Peace,My fair lady.I like to hear good old music.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Well when I started life I did not know much about travelling and I used to go to my penfriends place and then I became a memeber of the International Youth Hostel Association(Life Member) my mission was to do 100 foreign trips as I work for an airline and 50 counties which I did in Dec 2008. Now my target is 75 countries and I know I wont be able to do more than that as I have lots of problems.Still I will try.

Teach, Learn, Share

I like to learn from people who have already gone to a place and I have not because a little experience outweighs a ton of argument right. I am a bit exacting in nature I guess but I try to correct myself and in future I guess I will change.
