A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. This travel blog is my first step. This blog is born out of regrets. Regrets over photos not taken, over events not documented, over souvenirs not kept. Regrets over places now inaccessible to me other than in the nostalgia of my head. This blog is born out of the need to remember. To really, really make sure I don’t forget. To hold on for as long as I can to the irrelevant little conversations, the fun adventures, the silly goof-ups, the irrational fears, the happy moments that made a journey memorable. To remember in bright, vibrant colors every little detail of every little adventure ever embarked upon. To feel again what I felt in that moment, to see again what made me smile, to breathe in the smells of the place and to once again access the place, if only through the posts on my website. This blog isn’t created for others, it's created for me. This is my place for nostalgia. For reminiscing over places I have been to. My place for creating new memories. For planning new adventures. For sitting and wishful dreaming about where I'd like to go next. Just my own place for documenting it all.
Psst. You know the part about “this blog isn’t created for others”? Scratch that. Leave a comment. You know you want to.

That's awing intro and I specially liked the 'me' part of it. I know, 'what it likes to be me?' :)
Hey, we all are out here on an endless journey, and wonder what? We re-discover not only many places to indentify the self in it but also a pass through of many unknown souls, and leave those imprints of the journey as if nothing really changed than the world around us :) and believe that every sun rises bring us a reason to live for it.
BTW, did you listen to the latest album of Snow Patrol, ‘A Hundred Million Suns’ ?
Happy writing...
^ Lovely thought...and so true.
Snow Patrol is always awesome...but no, I havent heard all the songs from their latest album...I've heard a couple songs here and there on the radio but havent paid too much attention to them. Now you've got me curious. I think I'm going to download it on my mp3. Is there a message in there just for me? LOL.
may be YES! check it out, and let me know :)
Are you talking about the Please just take these photos from my hand song?
that one is really nice, hey, did you check the one ... 'lifeboats' ?
^ I just listened to it right now...love it! But I still dont get the reference to my blog. Huh?
Oops! I am late; was pointing this blog to as the lifeboat that may not follow the word what you called as 'regrets'.
Ah! I get it now. LOL. My brain was chugging on the slow gear. :D
