What's amazing me is the way you roll back your happy times. I certainly would not be able to recall such small things just as you do. Traveling without destination is something which I did everyday when I was in Holland in 2005. Me and my colleague (Harinath) had 10 precious days in an away land and had five hours everyday for our exploration. We worked a brilliant plan to board all buses, trains & trams without missing one and reach their last destination. We went by numbers (I mean bus numbers)! Reach every last destination in Amsterdam and had a walk around. It was an amazing experience. Within 10 days we managed to get the complete cultural feel of Holland as a whole package! As you say we will be able to do such things when we actually do not have anything else to do! Traveling within Chennai in crowded buses gives a completely different feeling, I rather prefer to play cricket whatever it takes on Saturday mornings. I completely agree to the fact that heart feels completely light when we do things we always wanted to do! Crucial thing here is, what someone actually want to do when he is free! As Swami Vivekananda says, “We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.” What we do when we are alone can only make us what we are! Being free as bird is one and misusing the freedom is the other! There is always a perfect balance between the two! Freedom is only for someone who knows how to manage it ;-) Another interesting post. What’s amazing me is the way you roll back your happy times.

Here is my 'opinion' - if you ever plan to travel on your own, by yourselves, all alone, you'd most probably be a traveller than a tourist. Don't you think so?

What a post this is.! I liked it very much especially the 4th and last para which made me to read the whole post thrice for now. Its awesome & top lists among all. I completely in the same page of your 4th & last para especially. If we keep ourselves bound fast to a particular form without freedom or within the same shell or continue "playing for gallery" as said we will end seeing ourselves nowhere one fine day. To me, one should be behind of doing & explore what gives him immense happiness. Though he may successful or fail at end but for sure he enjoys the pleasure & happiness during journey. Our guild at every stage is confining us in exploring as per our instinct. To my experience one will learn & experience a lot from travel & by comparing with different people, tradition, culture, language, food, climate you will discover yourself. If anyone traveling abroad, new place for the first time alone he can experience the at most feeling of being freedom though he miss the association. The whole post reminded me the movie "Motorcycle Diaries" :) Thanks Vijay its pleasure visiting your blog again & again. You think Fast, You act Fast & Live Fast..... Wow…

Another favoritre quote, which suits with this blog. “A journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it.” - John Steinbeck There is a glaring distinction between, a tourist & a traveller. I prefer to be the later one. - A traveller.Who doest not believe in SMART approach whilst travelling. But most of the time & space, we all end up being a tourist. I always curious to find out people in India especially start their expedition with travel iteninary but end up being a tourist. Mr.Opinion - What is your opinion on this glaring contradiction between a tourist & a traveller ? I like this favorite quote

Get off at any station and make your way from there. The older I get, the more distant the probability of my doing anything like that gets. I appreciate this post. It reminded me of a dream nearly forgotten. Oh man! Reading your posts gets more and more interesting till I have to say - Thats it. I'm adding you to my blog roll!
