To where it all started..

Hi! The writings which you are gonna read from now on are going to be completely about me, my life, my travel experiences, learnings, maybe some new insights and also about people like you and me. 

Why did I start this? Well I feel like I really have some things to share, express and discuss and would really love to interact, discuss, debate with you guys on the same!

 Anyways, To where it all started - Travel.

A boy merely 13-14 years of age saw a movie in theatres which struck something inside him so hard that today when he looks back and it's been a journey! A decade of such unforgettable events which definitely wouldn't have occurred if the movie was never made.

Now you might say ek 'entertaining' movie dekhne se life badal gayi? Ha badal gayi.

I was a shy kid, a topper, soft cored adjusting kid who would have lived his life as it may had come and that too happily. But I always have this 'keeda' in me even today that

"I wanna live my life fully, embrace everything that it offers me and be a guy who says he experienced it, he lived his life". Although as a traveler I feel like rather than embracing I am running from it but anyways haha!

Coming back to the movie, it said to me "You have to follow your heart and you can do different things in life" which my naive narrow mindedness never thought at such a young age. It struck me so hard, that it became a new me which I loved so deeply that that thought has turned into this life I have today. Cannot be more grateful. And let me tell you it hasn't been an easy ride at all!.

From being a topper to doing B.A in Mass Communication it was a ride, and don't get me wrong I don't see it as a downfall. But that small Omkar had to show a lot of courage to climb these unforeseen obstacles - My parents and family were naturally worried, and at that time I made them my villains of life as my dream was (and is) one of the most precious things that I carry in my heart.! And it took me many years to understand their side. So I don't hold grudges, but I am grateful for my stubbornness. Well honestly I was clueless back then as to what exactly I was getting myself into, but life has been easy and it showed me my way eventually that - 'You are gonna be confused for all your life if you try to limit yourself into these boxes of what you can or cannot do!'.

Yet another significant event or imagery that I got fond of to a level of obsession is -

"The Northern Lights" or "Auroras" which I saw on Instagram for the very first time.

I was shocked, in awe and questioning myself, "Is this real? and if it is I wanna see this!".

It started the ick for travel in me along with the movie working more like a catalyst into the already ongoing process. And as I read the location - Iceland on the post, it's become my dream now to visit Iceland and see the magnificent green lights dancing in the sky all above me. Day in and out I have been wishing to see Northern lights in Iceland now, but it's more like a lifelong dream rather than "Let's book the next ticket to Iceland". I love the longing.

Lastly I now understand that, all this also came as a blessing to me, to make me understand that this world has amazing things to offer (Which I had no idea about! My bubble was too small and comfy :) ) and you sitting here won't make any difference unless you leave your comfort, pack up your bags and a lot of courage (trust me), set out curiously to experience, learn and enjoy every single moment you create for yourself!
