One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

3 CONTINENTS, 8 COUNTRIES, 20 STATES IN INDIA.

Parents, Family, Friends, Fellow Travellers and Alone...

Travelled in Cars, Cheap buses, tractors, boeings jets, boats and trains... But wasn't fond of the commute...

Lived in Hotels, Cheap Motels, Slept on floors and couches, Slept on open benches in bus and train platforms sometimes, Waited for hours, missed many stops...

Saw the Mountains, Valleys, Great lakes, Holy Rivers and Ghats. Saw fog, storms, heat that killed and Snow that froze...

Seen people of many types, castes, religions, beliefs. Saw famous Churches, Mosques, Temples in India. Born as a hindu, but I am a longtime atheist now (Sarcastically - Maybe, you were you born as an atheist too?)... I think maybe it's because I saw it all and realised we all are essentially the same - anthologists are fun!

Travelling and experiencing different cultures has made me realise we are all the same. Born the same.

FOOD- Oh food! my Love!! I am Vegetarian from past 12 years so its tough to enjoy good food at most places. But I am lucky to have tried most of the tasty cuisines in India and I am currently working at www.gfi.org to help solve this issue.
