Sinbad

The thought of traveling around the world experiencing the beauty of different places gets me all excited. Even being to different places within my own country of India is a thrilling prospect. Though not an regular traveller I treasure memories of places i have been to, from hill stations to historical landmarks, from cities to the core of forests, from freezing lakes to extremely hot dust bowls. Even within and around the singular city of Mumbai there is so much to see and experience. And to travel add the variety of food....yummmm...and its such a heady mix.

I envy the Sinbads of the world who I believe are privileged to indulge in so much variety in their lives.

Experiencing the WOMAD (read my post : http://a-muse-me-india.blogspot.com/2009/04/womad-simply-superb.html ) was like pouring oil in the flame of wanting to experience the diversity of the world. From listening to 'world' music, to letting my tongue savour different recipes & cuisines, to seeing the God created natural wonders, to the creativity of man through art, dance and architecture ...my heart is thumping for more.

Am taking baby steps in fulfilling these my cravings but at least I know am walking in the direction pointed out by my heart. I'd like to have a 'crew' for my 'voyage' or even a first mate. (any volunteers?) Sharing the wonders of the world with someone multiplies the pleasures, actually,we tend to lose the essence of some wonders if traversed alone. Come on friends and family take me on your ship or sail with me. What am suggesting is from the simple 'share' the new recepie you learnt to joining in on treks, holidays and the like. From suggesting new restraunts to pointing out a hidden cave.... The "variety" available is like the treasures in Ali Baba's cave. Sail ahoy!!!
