The most versatile of it all is the drum. The best gets you to move. And move you do. When you are tired, you look around and see them dance. And then you know you have been out of action here for a while! . . . . #traveller #instatravel #instapassport #blogger #blogging #travelinsights #traveladdict #traveltheworld #wanderlust #destinations #colour #wonder #journeys #people #dance #love #dreams #character #life #chithiraifestival #latergram #colour #opportunity #joy #India #Madurai #mind #devotion #festivalfashion (at Madurai, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwdQsfAlgHY/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=xsffk2wxc0tm

Small bags. Turmeric. Bangles. All add a dynamic glitter to the morning breeze as they welcome the sun. These are tied with a wish in the heart and a prayer in the lips! .. .. #traveller #instatravel #instapassport #blogger #blogging #travelinsights #traveladdict #traveltheworld #wanderlust #destinations #beliefs #wonder #journeys #people #indulge #love #skyline #energy #life #hope #sea #home #opportunity #devotion #God #roadtrip #belief #pilgrim #momentsofmine #latergram (at Thiruchendur, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bseefp2h9Bs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lm67otlkdsr5

The simplest foods change the mood inside the mind. Bring alive memories. And sometimes make you long to come back for good. The food pipe is the best route on the map of life! .. (at Bangalore, India) https://www.instagram.com/p/BrWp2bbhXCU/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=19twz2tg8c5cp

When dint of effort supercedes current reality, the picture is not often that of suffering but of progress. .. Life, when seen through this prism has lesser suffering and revesls the tremendous capacities in man to survive, and overcome. .. #traveller #instatravel #instapassport #blogger #travelblogger #blogging #travelinsights #traveladdict #traveltheworld #wanderlust #destinations #beliefs #wonder #music #food #entrepreneur #love #history #dad #daughter #energy #hope #handcart #friends #india #effort #gandhi #mumbai #daughterdiaries (at Mumbai, Maharastra) https://www.instagram.com/p/BocsjqoBBin/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=luxo18ueann9

Tokyo is a city on the move. With a sense of calm hurriedness that can only be best experienced in a crowded metro. Or when the welcome note to the rented apartment mentions "by the way, there may be earthquakes. Don't Panic". Or like Typhoon Jebi is raging on and the resolute Japanese fight back with calm! .. The Japanese are used to clouds. In a sad easy too. But it doesn't take long for you to notice they don't let it cloud their way of living .. #traveller #instatravel #instapassport #blogger #travelblogger #blogging #travelinsights #traveladdict #traveltheworld #wanderlust #destinations # #wonder #independenceday #famous #celebrations #entrepreneur #love #wonder #musings #india #lives #nature #airport #Japan #tokyo #Jebi #typhoon (at Tokyo, Japan) https://www.instagram.com/p/BnUhMS6FboX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zeghvxd3t3iq

"when all is said and done, much more remains to be said and done". At the end of the Chicago leg of this travel, @flyohare 's elevators say goodbye in a shiny memorable way! (at Chicago O'Hare International Airport)

Flying over the North Pole!. There is white all around. And then there is a sparkling blue. The big engines of the Airbus 380 cruise through the blue. And you wonder how small and large are relative terms!

When love peeps out of a window, will you have it on you to give a hug?

There is something to Mumbai when it rains. There is something to Mumbai when it expects the rain!

My dad used to say “Coffee drinkers are better thinkers”. He was a wise man. And I have never had ant reason to doubt him .. “Coffee?’ is the standard response these days. To any question. Or answer, for that matter. .. (at Mumbai, Maharashtra)

Objects have character. Don’t they? :) .. .. This brass kettle from yesteryear would have seen so many things as it sat in silence. Even whilst holding filter coffee and cardamom tea for generations of a family! .. Sometimes I wonder if there is a magical way it can tell a story or two. Of the people and the times. And then I survey the small dents and marks and proceed to make my own story! #kettle #instatravel #instapassport #blogger #travelblogger #blogging #traveladdict #traveltheworld #wanderlust #lessons #journeys #metaphor #love #mind #simple #businesstravel #passion #life #ideas #imagination #people #chennai #coffee #filter #history #family (at Chennai, India)

It’s often not about the weight but how we carry it! How heavy the object is not merely a matter of physics. The mind has its ways of altering the weight. So what is weighing you down today? How can you carry it differently? (at New Market, Kolkata)

A mound of clay morphs into an array of pots in a few hours. Each pot looks the same. I wonder if the potter can tell me what emotion runs through his mind as he shapes each pot. (at Mumbai, Maharashtra)

Travel puts you face to face with your biases. And suddenly you come alive to what else is possible. .. Travel keeps you alive. Especially when your intent is not to ‘just see’. .. #

The domes bring in light. And then the sky shows its glory!
