Travel is a treasure of my life.. It means a lot actually, Traveling gives me many reasons to live this beautiful life in terms of maximize the level of creativity, widening of Imaginations .. It is like a Book for me and am reading its every page with the places of my choice...
December 26th Morning I, along with my buddies, arrived in City of Lake “Nainital”, India. We checked into our wooden house, threw our stuff in our rooms and decided to rest for a couple of hours. I ended up turning on my Smart Mobile and tried to get some social hook ups. At one point, though, I needed a break, so walked out onto the balcony, a balcony that offers a panoramic view out over the lake City below, set so perfectly at the foot of the mountains, with the massive Black Cathedral so unmissable in the middle of the scene. I took a few deep breaths, inhaling that fresh Naini lake air and before long I realized that, just as one of the members of my group had already stated within ten minutes of arriving in Nainital, “I could live here.”

And what if I did decide to move and live in Nainital?
What if I stayed here permanently, perhaps for the rest of my life? I started thinking about this scenario, and while I knew perfectly well that I wasn’t actually going to move to Nainital for the rest of my life, these questions got me thinking about something else.

If I chose to live in one place all year round, albeit a place in
different part of India, would I still be ‘traveling’?
Well, my best companion while traveling is my CANON Machine which help me to explore places in a creative and different ways. And the most important thing I can do with those moments that I can alter then as per my thought processJ. I know the last Para is little tricky to understand but trust me, it’s not that tricky if you really read it by the mind of photographer and traveler.

What is travel?
According to the Oxford
Dictionary, the definition of travel is: to make a journey, typically of
some length.
Some might agree with the simplicity of that definition, others
might feel some extra clarification is needed. Either way, I think that
definition is vague for a reason. Travel certainly means something different to
everyone and whatever it may mean to you, that’s what it means. There is no
right answer and naturally, there is no wrong.
Some might think you have to leave your own country or place to
travel or you must be away for a certain period of time. Do you have to be
visiting a place for pleasure or can it be for other reasons, such as visiting
family or friends or to conduct some business? What if you take a cruise, are
you traveling? What if you move overseas or live in one place for six months?
What if you go abroad just to work, such as teaching English in a small town in
India or working for an international company in Banglore.
While out on that balcony that morning, right about the time I finished
a big cup of tea, I realized that my own definition of travel is also quite
simple.
To me, traveling is just going somewhere, anywhere, whether
familiar or new. It doesn’t matter if it’s the next town over, a new city or
hill station on the other side of the India. And I personally don’t think it
matters if you’re gone for one day or a week month. As long as you have even
the slightest interest in the destination you’re visiting, and you’re open to
learning about the places you visit and about yourself in the process, I think
you’re traveling. It encompasses a great range of experiences, I know, but I
personally don’t think the word ‘travel’ warrants a more complicated
description.
And now, out of sheer curiosity, I’d be interested to know what
travel means to many of you, to read your definitions in their infinite forms,
based on your own individual ideas and experiences.
