My plan this time was not to have a plan. I feel we are loaded with too much information today. Informative, Instructive, descriptive, educative, illustrative, graphic and all other nonsense. Why should we rely on them? Why don’t we rely on our senses? Are we too scared to face what we don’t know?
Traveled alone, got stranded, lost my way, walked miles, drenched in rain for hours, slept on the floor and finally got lost in space.
One thing I learned is –you are never alone, there is always someone to help you, no matter how worse the situation gets, there is always someone.
Like your philiosophy for travel... it reminds me of the way a few other things should be approached in life as well. Too much information is sadly too correct a reading of our times. Would recommend 2 book I read by Chinese author in exile, Ma Jian- `Red Dust' and `Stick out your tongue'. That is: if you have not read them already/ and you like reading in the first place. Have a feeling you'll like the books. cheers
Hi Chandan, thank you very much for the recommendation, I was just checking out these books on amazon.com, read the reviews, think I will love it. Goes very well with my nature-ha ha ha. I am just lost. Thank you again.
Too much information banalizes information. We consume information as we consume everything else...in the most superficial and greedy way, blindly!
Go alone, meet strangers, share, forget what you've heard, seen or read. Go, get lost and find yourself. This is what travel is about. And life is our biggest travel.
I find life interesting. I am inspired and influenced by Artists and Authors. There are no new ideas here. I would be lying if I claimed any. I am curious like a kid. I don't pretend to be an expert in any area. I don't want to impress anyone with my thoughts and works. I love what I do. I do what I love. This blog is a sum of my works+thoughts+interests.

Your philosophy is my philosophy, Shiva.
The books sound interesting too.
Cheers! This is a great post!
