why are we here?

You must be wondering what this is all about. Well....this story starts way back in 2000 when I joined MICA (Mudra Institute of Communications, Ahmedabad). This is where I met Div, then my senior..now my husband. Wait ..dont go, this is not a love story. I mean it is a love story but I am not telling you the love part of it :)

I come from a semi-traditional south indian family who just does not believe in traveling as a means of entertainment or learning or self actualisation. As a consequence, even though I originally belong to Kerala, I had never seen the famous backwaters till i was 23 years old!!

On the other side, Div comes from a traditional gujju family which believes traveling is as essential to life as air, water, food etc. Infact his grandparents both well into thier 80's visited Kashmir a couple of years back inspite of the terrorism, the difficulties in travel, severe weather, health problems etc. Thus Div had pretty much seen most of India by the time we met.

So as you would have guessed, Div introduced me to the idea of travel for the sake of pleasure (not just work). And since then I am addicted to it.

So I decided to put together a blog for the following reasons:

1. If we really travel the way we plan to, we will need a document like this to remember where all we have been.

2. Its easier to share with people our adventures through a blog.

3. If you are planning to go to any of these places then you will benefit from this too.

So here we go....
