There are times I am bewildered by each mile I have travelled, each meal I have eaten, each person I have known, each room in which I have slept. As ordinary as is all appears, there are times when it is beyond my imagination. This space is my take on the world.

Why?


So why did I (thats me in Varanasi) decide to start this blog?

For starters I enjoy travelling and in my travels the best moments have been spent talking to the person on the street who goes about their own business away from the blinding glare of the tourist industry. Talk to them. They are always willing for a chat irrespective of which country you might find yourself in. Travel isn't about going to picture postcard perfect locations because that is only a gaudy facade that hides the stark underbelly, the real story.

I am also very interested in international politics and the happenings around the world. Thankfully, my parents raised me to be politically and culturally aware, so most often than not I have a point of view on things. I also make a lot of effort to keep myself well-informed. So, this my friends, is my easel on which I shall paint my hues.

Critique, argue, debate yet respect. Welcome.
