Road Traveller

It is said that life is a race; one has to run all along to achieve his goal. But, apart from a life which is always demanding, there lies keenness in a traveller to explore, observe and capture what appeals to him as a magic. And the biggest and most wonderful magic that has been provided to man is NATURE itself. It does not matter who you are and where you come from, there is no dearth of places to be visited by a traveller. I too had a similar experience while visiting Udaipur. Though, it’s the royalty of the place that beckons the tourists, it was the road which kept me engrossed in looking out of the car window. Not a single moment i wanted to fall asleep in a 12 hour drive from Delhi to Udaipur. The roads, the intermittent villages, the sand, and most importantly the Aravali Range: These reasons were enough for me to travel to the place. There are no lush green trees on the way, any buildings, let alone sky scrapers, no crowd, only sand and scorching sun's heat to lead your way. And if you are lost on the way, nothing like that. You get more chance to experience and explore the life of cattle and villagers. It is so intriguing that you will not regret spending your time in gazing at vast expanse of barren land. And then, it is Ranthambhore National Park, Sariska, and Abu Sanctuary in Rajasthan, where you one can just imagine the way Tigers and humans live in close proximity with each other. Though there have been a lot many cases where tigers have preyed on humans, even then, they are dwelling there. It is not something a person from Metropolitan cities can imagine him living a life like this. Then there is culture of Rajasthan. Every tourist there is just enchanted by the life of people there. All this cannot be described in just a few thousand words, but in closing lines, i would want to say that all this could not have been experienced while in a train, let alone aero place. The best way to experience Rajasthan is to experience by road.
