So here I am . A brand new blogger with some old ideas. There are so many subjects I want to write about. My mind is on a whirl. Travel and destinations seem to be good idea. Since childhood trav l has been a fascinating and enjoyable activity. Father was in police services and used to be busy with his duties. But whenever he could get leave we used
to travel. And travel by jeep. Be it short distance picnics or long distance road trips. And did we enjoy those trips!!!A family of five children and parents was a party in itself. We never needed anyone else. The preparations started days in advance. Food had to be prepared....poori and alloo with achar and Mathri and of course seasonal fruits. Water cans had to be filled and kept ready. Those were the days when there were no fancy roadside dhabas were there. The night before father used to announce the time for departure. Could we sleep during the night. Hardly!!!And all of us used to be ready on the given time. Even I and my brother. ...who always wanted an extra minute to sleep....were always ready dot at time. And then the most important decision....seat allocation. It was done on first call basis. Yes first call....whoever called first "ek Kona mera" was given that corner. We were honest that way. I,being the eldest was privileged. Always sat between ma and father in the front seat. My sister next in line always prayed for my marriage so that she could get a chance to sit on the front seats. Alas! her prayers were answered quite late. Now if you have ev r travelled in a jeep sitting on the back seats only one hen you can understand the plight and pains of a backseat passenger. That too on the roads of Rajasthan almost forty years ago. Anyway I was spared the pain. So this is going to be the content of my blog. Travel and destinations become more enjoyable and beautiful with your family.
Some anecdotes in my next.
Till then cheers.
- How far is it possible to stick to one topic in your blog. I find it real difficult. The mind is so full of thoughts that they are spilling over. One moment I want to write about travel next moment it is the weather I want to write about and immediately think about the newest mom Kareena kapoor and her choice of name for her boy. Timur...the history is full of Timur Lang or Timur the lame. What ever we have read tells us about his atrocities and plunder carried out by him. Although all our Mughal emperor called themselves descendants of Taimur and felt proud of this fact. It's like naming your child Kans. well its absolutely the decision of the parents by what name they want to call their child.
