So I've been bitten by the travel bug recently. I've always liked travelling - be it as a trip with friends to a nearby city, or a more adventurous trek, or just going from one place to another (like travelling home). I guess I like the act of just going...moving. I don't know. And the endless opportunities it presents. Whenever I travel on my own, I observe the things around me. Especially people. I believe that every person has their own story to tell. And I love it when they share it with me. Like this one time, when I was going back to college at the beginning of the semester, I met this guy in train who was also studying engineering (in a different college) but liked directing and also dreamt of owning his own company. We got to talking, and I told him about this story I was writing (dumped and trashed now) which I had hoped would be turned into a series. And we decided that once I'm done writing and editing and designing the characters, he'd direct the animated series that was to result!
There were many instances like this where I'd see interesting people around me. And I want to meet more. Go all over the world. Give a shout-out on the behalf of all that requires it - recognition, call for help, whatever - do my bit. Discover exciting places and communities. Portray them through my eyes. Figure things out for myself. And this is not all. Travelling in itself presents endless opportunities to those who look for them. And it's a lot of fun!
