Remember that Oktatabyebye Photo Contest? I got to hear from them about the air ticket. I can fly from anywhere to anywhere in India. I am wondering where should I go? The pity is that it is for one person (and I have to pay the taxes), so either Sesha decides to come anyway or I go alone. Now if I go alone, I will really have to think where to go. There is always a nagging doubt about traveling solo in India. Oh, maybe Sikkim again? That was quite safe. Or visit a friend?
Now that is one thing I like about many countries abroad. You don’t have to think twice about traveling alone.
This and That
These days Sesha is sitting in UK. Out of the three cameras guess how many he took? None!
I hate grading copies. The exercise leaves me depressed and slightly crazy, hence this disjoint post.
I may be ( in fact I would be, and no this is not the Oktatabyebye one) traveling next week, yippee!
The place where I play TT, painting and other work is going on in the building. The workers have put their beds in a corner in the Hall. How little people survive on. Don’t know why, but adds to a lot of guilt about having a lot of luxuries.
Congrats on the win! If you go to Bangalore and it is after January, let me know and we can go take some pictures together :)Enjoy your trip wherever it takes you!
Hi Mridula,I guess its ur chance to goto Rajasthan, as it doesn’t excite S. And its very safe for solo travelers too. Maybe Jaisalmer. Anywhere, just take all the 3 cameras 🙂
Maybe the Andamans, if you havent been there already..I plan to go there soon, seems interesting!
Congratulations!Meanwhile, the taxes might actually turn out to be much more than the price of the free ticket that you have won!:D
Cindy, thanks. I would anyway be visiting B’lore in December :)Rajeev, so good to hear from you. I was thinking of going somewhere close to the sea. It has been a really long time since I was anywhere close to it.Chintu, I have not been to the Andamans, but let us see.Sidhu, very true 🙂
//Now that is one thing I like about many countries abroad. You don’t have to think twice about traveling alone.Which countries? :DCrime is everywhere. India is so safe (comparatively)
Priyank, this was about traveling alone as a women. You don’t get ‘eve teased.’ At least that is what I feel.
Go to Kolkata. Have u been there? I tell everyone it is another world altogether – if u know the right places to go to 🙂
I second Priyank. Lately, I’ve begun to enjoy travelling alone as much (if not more) as I do with companions. The travels in case of former are more challenging and there’s an element of freedom to move or linger at your own sweet pace. I’m now contemplating a travel across MP alone and am quite looking forward to that. I’ve felt comfortable and safe to travel alone only within India.
Hi,I catch up with all your posts on my reader, but that has the disadvantage of multiple clicks before i reach here to leave a message. sea- maybe Chennai. I guess Kerala would be better with S.
How about a trip to “God’s own country” (Alleppey Backwaters)? If you are a ‘Happy Person’, you should consider Lucknow for your next trip (Muskurayiye Ki Aap Lucknow Mein Hain)…
Smita, I was there when I was in class 4! Thanks for the suggestion.Indica, matbe travel is OK but try living in NCR and probably you will understand what I am saying.Rajeev not sure if Sesha will have so much leave but yes I wish it to be sea this time.Atul, my aunt stays in Lucknow and I have spent many a happy summer vacations there having lots of fun with my cousins.
