LOG ON – BLOG ON

Today, while sitting back and checking my 'Tour India' folder, I thought of reading all that I have written till date. Beautiful pictures, came flashing back to my mind of all the places that I have stepped on. What I'm thinking now is of what makes me pen down about all the places that I have traveled during India Tour and publish the blog or an article. Surprisingly, I know the answer myself.

India a country so vast, diverse and beautiful cannot be just stored in the mind, heart or even the photographs. The journey of the beautiful places that I have traveled remain fresh and alive even after so many years that it becomes necessary for me to share the information with everyone. Be it the pushes in the local buses and the jumpy-bumpy road drive or motion sickness while climbing up the mountains and the suntan on the beaches. On the other hand, the beautiful roads leading to some unexplored destinations, spectacular mountains, exotic locations, scenic drive and quiet and serene valleys, India is blessed by natural beauty in every sense. Every destination holds a special meaning, like a discovery of another heaven on earth. So, why blog? Primarily because it is small in content and gets over in fewer lines and then you actually do not have to be politically correct while writing it. It is one's own views, in fact in other words it is freedom of expression that lets your creativity flow. All my blogs describe straight from my eyes all the beautiful places in India that I have toured. But then on the second thought, if we sum up the general opinion about India and its most popular tourists destinations, then it would prove that such is the charisma of this country that overwhelms every heart and mind.

I don't know whether you'll agree with me on this or not and that is exactly what I want to know from you. What you feel about the blogs on India Tour that I have written so far. Or even if you want to share your own experiences I would welcome hearing from you.

Log on guys and blog on to let the world know , what India holds for them.

INDIA TOUR- A Journey For The Lifetime

India fascinates not only those living in this country but also to those who search it through Google or satellite map. This is indeed a country that has many features, states, aspects and all this under one roof and this is the sole reason why in the past, the country has seen increase in the footfalls of the visitors.

Extraordinary things at ordinary price, of course for outbound tourists, the country is a delight for the eyes as well as for the pocket. For tourists visiting India , the trip is more than just holidaying. Perhaps it is exploring the country that offers spectacular mountains, beautiful beaches, historical episodes echoing in the rugged forts and palaces , stunning temples and churches, wildlife, hand-made crafts and artifacts(extincting from the rest of the world) etc. From spiritual to adventurous, nature's splendor, beauty that may besiege heart and mind, you'll be hooked on to the country for various reasons but the hospitality, love and care of the Indians will leave you awestruck. Famous Hollywood actress Kate Winslet is one such loyal visitor who came for India tour post the success of the movie 'Titanic'. She was so mesmerized by the people that she has found a new home here and even after so many years she keeps coming back to taste the flavors of India.

This is also a reminder for all those who still think of India as an old oriental country of snake charmers, poverty, beggars. Today,India stands as a nation with whom the rest of the world wants to develop cordial relationship. A country that will stand tall in another few years, or ever taller than other developed nations in terms of industrialization and growth. That's the charisma of this nation, which has drawn interest of the foreigners to tour India centuries and decades ago and still continue to do so.
