My father is a railway employee. As a result, I get to see many places other than Nagpur where I stay. Sometimes he takes all of us on a holiday. I realise that I like travelling a great deal. I have seen more than thirty cities and towns in India. Some of the places I have visited are Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Ooty, Mysore, Bangalore, Agra, Jammu, Mahabaleshwar, Dehradun, Ambala and even Thiruvananthapuram.
The one thing that I gather from all my travels is that India is a land of a rich variety. I have seen snow-capped peaks, coastal regions, the deltas of the Sunderbans, the interiors of India where the climate is extreme, hill stations, plateaus, lowlands and even the North Indian plains. I find that my outlook on life has considerably broadened due to my extensive travelling. I can get along with people of all types. I do not feel distaste or dislike for habits that people of different communities or regions have.
This is what travel does. It broaders the mind, improves our outlook on life and makes us persons with a better understanding of varied cultures and creeds. Besides being exciting, travel is always very refreshing. Staying always in one place, seeing the same streets and people every day is quite
monotonous and obviously boring. Travel enriches the mind and
makes a person happier, more accommodating and better
equipped to deal with a variety of experiences.
When I grow up, I would like to visit countries in far away
places. So far I have travelled only by train. Later on I hope to
travel by ship and by plane. I am sure that my travels will do
me a world of good.
