India travelogues through eyes of a Delhiite traveller..

In schooldays, I used to believe that Television shows you everything that exists and is going on around the world. But, soon I realized that "a screen is just 15% of a Scene".  It was my college first year when I decided to pack my backpack and leave to experience the remaining 85%........

Quotes like below always inspired me...

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

 --Robert Frost


My first experience was of the land of Lord Krishna, Vrindavana!
Yamuna Teer - Vrindavan, Mathura, Uttar Pradesh, India
Gradually, I became an amateur traveller and so far I have been to following experiences (places):

Well, let's start with my first experience 'Vrindavana - the land of God head Lord Krishna'

I am a moderate ISKCON follower and fortunately got an opportunity to visit the holy city of Mathura in the company of ISKCON - Vivek Prabhu....   we left at 4 am in the morning June 13, 2005.

Attending the morning aarti at Vrindavana and have Prashadam thereafter is an extremely divine experience:

I do not have much photographs from that 'era'.. yes its been so long.....  still I have few to share:




Once upon a time in ISKCON.....




Since this is the introduction to how I got into Travelling and Blog writing...  lot of experiences (posts) to come from my Travellings....  I even have named myself 'Paraveller' ;)

Keep visiting and ... KeEp TravellinG!
