I like to
travel- small travels, long travels, up a mountain, down a valley, to a sloppy
marsh, to smoky volcanoes, to ancient castles, to bustling cities, to fairy
tale villages, to Gothic haunts; a visit to Como, a flight to Boston, up the Matterhorn,
down Shimla valley, to the bogs of Galway, to the puffy Etna, to ancient
Stonehenge, to the Broadway theater. My travels go on.
If you ask
me what interests me most, I don’t have a specific answer. Landscape fascinates
me; my camera always captures pristine nature. People and their food interest
me. I try to understand their temperament through their food- the spicy Andhra
lamb curry, the cheesy spaghetti Carbonara, the slurpy Ramen, the huge
hamburgers of N.Y. I take care to taste the local food wherever I go.
Looking at
the Thun castle I say, this is sandstone, typical of the place. Bending my neck
backwards to view the tallest spike in the cathedral of Milan (ancient
cathedrals attract me, I do not know why!) I say, oh, Gothic art in marble. I
collect rocks from the places I go (when people collect curios and
jewellery!).
So, in
short, I am an enthusiastic traveler, who travel for the sheer joy of it. I am
a photographer (not professional) and a foodie. I appreciate art, ancient and
modern. That explains me. Now you might be wondering about my interest in
rocks. I am a Geologist too!!
