Travel

Travel, the word itself has motion to it. It sets the heart racing with the very thought of all the experiences laid out ahead. From beginning till end, travel is interesting!

Although, travel is not always synonymous to vacation, I personally enjoy every bit of it right from the everyday rickshaw ride to the breathtaking 45 minutes of paragliding experience. In between there are all sorts of travels – business, family picnic, weekend getaways, just friends impromptu trips, the special honeymoon travels etc.

Travel has become easy these days unlike the olden days where there was lack of commuting facilities. More than easy, the journey has become fun; ever remember your first train long distance travel, first flight, ferry, yacht and the ride on your first bike.

Although it’s best to ride in your car and there is always a craze to drive on your bike for the longest possible distance, I personally like to take public transport. I am amazed by the variety of people you will meet, it’s great to interact with them and every once in a while you will get a very interesting peek into  life of someone that will teach you so  much; the best part is you don’t really have to experience it , to gain that experience.

The long distance journey by train in India is my all time favorite, it’s like a culinary treat from all over the country  - Gujarati sweet n sour food, the mouth watering south Indian food, spicy Maharashtrain food, rich and yummy north Indian food; the list is endless. If you are loner doesn’t mean you will miss all this, the roads of India are well furnished with the eateries which will engage you in the endless list of savories.

There are lot many things associated with travel which can’t be aptly penned down. I would suggest you travel consciously, you will be aghast by the amount of experience you gain with each travel. From picking the right size bag to carrying hand sanitizers you become smart at all aspects and best part is all your senses work their best while travelling.

So keep travelling and become a Pro traveler, always experiencing something different.

Off late i have been applying for quite some creative writing assignments.
This is something I wrote for the qualifier test:


Non-materialistic gifts: The next big thing in the greeting industry           
         

Recall your most memorable gift; is it your first ever phone or ride; or is it your proposal solitaire. While there is no match for the diamond or the first car of the life, one wants more each time to celebrate those ever occurring milestones in life or even the itsy-bitsy victories such as first kiss anniversary or that galli cricket match you won against your arch enemy.

The little ice cream parties or hangouts at favourite restaurants with friends is the best way to celebrate but can get monotonous after a while. At such times your creative friends come into play, ever saw the movie of your life, playing on the projector on the beach late at night with the breeze and bonfire to keep company. This is a kind of the gift you will never forget and someone else will never receive, coz it is customized, just for you. These are the priceless, non-materialistic gifts.

But to give or receive any such gift you no longer have to be creative you got to be just smart. Outsource the creative task to the many available industries such as the greeting industry. Initially it was a fiction tale that someone actually takes pains to get that perfect customized gift for your loved one, ever read Cecelia Ahren books but now it is actually available.

You can simply pick from the wide variety of available, or you can get one personalized for your loved ones. Get a song or a verse or poem or a simple heart felt message to greet your loved one on that special occasion.

The greeting industry is now painted bright red with the opening of the new window of non-materialistic gifts. It’s worth a try to see that awesome smile on the face of the special one.

Also it’s never too late to start a business venture coz non-materialistic gifts is the next big thing in the greeting industry.
