Travelling - Simple Do's and Dont's

We travel almost everyday, from your locality to another or from a country to another. It has become an integral part of the developed society.

Most of us including me keep the planning till the end. This is for the people who never have a good experience travelling.

Without planning for a trip you'll end up in all sorts of trouble. In the end spend twice the time you actually require and end up with no time at all.

So what can we do? You might feel that this article is pretty long,  take a chance and keep reading.

1) Know the name of the place you're travelling at least two weeks before your trip.

-This will give you enough time to do your little research on the Internet and plot out a rough plan.

2) Search for a place to stay, look through the hotels and resorts that best suits your requirement and book it ASAP. P.s (Internet required.)

-You don't want to reach there and end up without a place to keep all your baggage.

3) Depending on the number of days you'll stay there start planning for each day. Take one day at a time and start writing down what you might do.

-This will save a lot of your time as you can reschedule and manage your time if you might miss a spot.

4) What to take along? Depends from person to person. Essentials would include all your chargers, one or two backpacks, cell phones,camera, a map of the place etc..

-Again all this changes from person to person, look at your rough 'Day plan' and decide what to take that day.

5) Food.

-Locate places where you get good food beforehand and also try to communicate with the people around the area.

6)Shopping - People are always on the lookout for tourists to sell their items for a 'dream price'. 

-Develop the skill of bargaining, you'll need that. A lot.

7) Aren't you getting bored reading all this? As of now that's all I can think of.

8) Dont read any more articles after this and confuse yourself. Thank you for your patient time.

Have a safe trip and a pleasant stay wherever you go! :)

Yet another birthday...

I knew that at the strike of 12:00 am my friends would come charging into my room with the birthday cake and singing the birthday song. This was the practice in the hostel everyone would wait for that exact moment and then break into your room to wish you. 

I liked this gesture and I really appreciate what they did for me. Wishes pouring int on Facebook and twitter also has not stopped and I'm really grateful for all this. Now this is about my friends but sadly there's another set of people who on their birthday's despite wishes and a cake have to suffer a lot of pain. Not mental pain but physical pain. 

Now this is what happens, people lift the birthday boy and just start hitting him with anything they find and this does not stop there. They bring eggs and buckets of water just to throw on him. How in the world is that fun? I know of people who were severely injured just because it was their birthday.

This practice needs to stop and for good. Luckily my birthday did not have any rough moments like that and it was all smiles. I wish it was the same way for everyone too.

With all that said I've turned 19 years old and life will hopefully give me many more surprises and moments of happiness with all the years that I have left to live..

Wishing each one of  you a great day!
