Dream and Travel

Almost after 9 years of being out of the home. Traveling is what I have done a lot, can’t really compare myself to many people I know who have really done a lot, but still I never expected to travel as much.

Some factors made an impact in my life when I thought of taking motor biking as a mode of traveling. It has is still in a transitioning mode. Even though I have not traveled as much on the bike but still dream of big. Big is real big here. I think it’s rather massive. I will have to start working all the way from ground level. Planning of the trip, time it would take for the trip, feasibility of the trip, agreement of the family for the trip, finances and above all leaves from the job if not then a new job after returning back.

Being an Indian it is hard to find ways to ride from various countries.

I don’t think that this trip is happening in the near future I have to think about it a lot, make sure that really I want to do this. And then start planning. What bike. Oh is there a question about it. What’s better than a 1977 Bullet?

Here I am With a Dream

Bathinda to Birmingham. Via the Dhaba’s of Asia and Europe.

My.. Hmm my country

I remember a trip long time back in the year 1997. We were enroute so called Madras. The train was running with a delay of 24 hours because of a major breakdown on the normal route. That was the time that I first faced the State called Bihar.

This is in context to a Train journey that seems to have changed my view about the State of Bihar, from where we get the majority of the high rank officials in the Indian services. A state which has one of the world’s first and the greatest universities (NALANDA).

Why are the people so furious, out of the form in that land. My experience was a horrifying on. The AC coach which was reserved for seating was over taken by the locals and they were traveling without the tickets in the coach forcing the occupants to get off the seat and in some cases if I remember correctly they were also manhandling people who were trying to revolt.

The recent incident of students burning a train on being asked for a ticket when they were onboard a reserved AC coach, has again made my personal opinion about the people more strong and gross. I have known so Bihari’s for some time they are decent when they are out of the state.

What would it take for the people living there to be more civilized and formal. I remember talking to some of the friends who have been tortured when they were on trips and passing through the state. They were asked for money and also some were beaten.

I really want to go to the other side of the country but passing through this state would be a real put off. Is there another way to go, is there a need for another route or another passage. I feel the need should not be there at the end of the day we are a part of the same motherland we are what we call our self INDIANS. Please my brothers from the Land of Knowledge please let me come and visit you without fear of being hassled

Living the dreams.

Now this is some thing not new that I am going to talk about here. From decades, centuries and don’t know from when since the existence of the mankind. There has been something called dreams. Dreams got the man what he wanted. It helped him achieve where he is now. It’s just a name for vision.

How many times do you realize that your dreams have been fulfilled? How many times do we realize that yes what we dreamt of is what I really wanted or did I really dream of the same?

There are ways to dream, dreaming while you are asleep, day dreaming and the one that’s my favorite is dreaming with someone. Dreaming with someone who you love is just amazing. Now some people call it planning. So people call it future. But people like me would like to call it dreaming when you are no where near it but you just want it.

Have you ever had a dream with some one? Have you ever shared a dream with some one, where it’s the same thing that you dreamt of?

Fulfilling a dream that’s been dreamt of with someone gives you the feeling that you would never get fulfilling your own dream.

Some times the person may not be there with you. You may have forgot of their being. But incautiously you fulfill a dream not realizing that it was dream and then you remember what the importance was. That’s when you get that out of the world feeling.

Have you ever had that feeling? Do you ever expect that feeling?
Keep on dreaming, dream with someone, with someone special.
Live a dream that was ones the best dream.
