Will be in India in exactly 2 months from now. Whoopee!!! Just bought my ticket to Madras today - 250 SGD, cheapest flight to India, on Tiger Airways. The only downside is probably having to sleep at MAA since it arrives at 2300 at night.
Chatted with this Italian in the lift - i seem to meet the quirkiest people - he owns a resort in Sri Lanka and was telling me about it, handing me a brochure pulled out from his pockets like it was a secret map leading to some hidden Paradise - i thought of Daffy Duck (the Beach, anyone??) - Giuliano, as i found out later, was dressed rather, um, unconventionally in greasy overalls, and opened the conversation with a taciturn "holiday, eh?" after i jabbed the close door button in the lift. The "lovely beach" was marked on the western coast of Sri Lanka, probably 3 hours or so out of Colombo.
Which brings me to the point that travelling is a mentality, not just an activity. A mindset that embraces and opens our eyes to what is new, refreshing, and beautiful in everyday life. The simple things that a lot of people seem to take for granted...
