Greed

When I close my eyes, the memory of my last flight / train journey should be as fresh and vivid as it was yesterday. Thats how much I would like to and try to travel. 

"Date a girl who travels"

A friend tagged me in a tweet today ---> "@clownasylum: I forgot to tag you @themovingcloud blasphemous I know... Date A Girl Who Travels : http://goo.gl/IHVNf"

I am glad he tagged me not only because I really liked the post but also because I came across this lovely blog: Solitary Wanderer. It's been bookmarked. What a completely relatable and nicely written post 'Date a girl who travels' is. Written by someone who is obviously very enthusiastic about traveling and of course, a woman.

I promptly shared it with my husband. He should know he chose well, right? :)

The Dancing Birds

The first time I saw a video of the Starlings, I was mesmerized. I wanted to find out all the places in the world where one can see this happen. The closest place to where I live, so I could go there as quickly as possible. I've been addicted ever since. I keep seeing videos of these little wonders from time to time. It makes me smile. It makes me think of all the beautiful things around us. 

One day, I will see this with my own eyes. 

This year I will...

In 2011, I decided it was time to see more, do more, travel more. Time to work around things that kept me from traveling otherwise and so came about the resolution, #atripamonthin2011. It wasn't so tough to stick to it actually. I guess, it never is if you are working towards something you are obsessive about and enjoy. So, the successful completion of it made almost everyone who knew about it ask me what the 2012 travel resolution was. To be honest, I hadn't even thought about it and probably wasn't going to keep one this year. But the constant questions from family and friends made me want to. So a big thank you to everyone who kept asking me. :) It's now been decided.

#astateamonthin2012 is the travel resolution for 2012. Yes, it's Bhaarat darshan time. :) Am very excited about it and already jotting down places I want to visit. As always, the greed to see everything has made the list rather long *grin* but reality will shorten it I am sure. There was already a weekend trip planned to Pune end of this month so that makes the first State - Maharashtra. I know, I know, I live in Maharashtra so technically it may not count but considering I decided on this resolution just today, and it's almost the end of the month, I can take that much liberty. Yes? Yes. Thank you.

Will update you guys on the first six months, in six months. :) Till then, as I always say, happy tripping all!
