Why travel

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things youdidn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail awayfrom the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore.Dream. Discover.- Mark Twain
My two cents
I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel's sake. The euphoria of movement...leaves me breathless. I think that travel comesfrom some deep urge to see the world, like the urge that brings up asmells of masala dosa in me when I am ravishingly hungry (Which is quite often). Exploring connects the harmony which once existed between manand the universe. No matter where you travel, there you are!! Thejourney is my home.Time to seek unknown places, seeing days of scenes and curioushappenings in far-off lands! You have thought of doing this, almost promised yourself that when you got old enough, and rich enough, andcould "spare the time," you too would go around the world. Most of us get old enough; some of us get rich enough; but the time! the time! - tospare the time, to cut loose from home, dreary desks, quit clients,telecoms, Ashoka bar, coffee day coffee, many a promise must be brokento Live life, Explore all colors of rainbow...experience the sounds ofsilence. Hear your heartbeat sync with the elements. Blend withdifferent cultures.I think that wherever your journey takes you, there are new godswaiting......... could be the same reason why the sages had totravel(walk) for years before they reach the destination, for travelbroadens the mind. The folks less traveled read only a page of the book.Every exit is an entry somewhere else. Traveling is a brutality. Itforces you to trust strangers and to lose sight of all that familiarcomfort of home and friends. You are constantly off balance. Nothing isyours except the essential things - air, sleep, dreams, the sea, thesky-----to lose sight of shore, will bring out the real you.
