BLOG POST 1
Travel is my passion. I always love to travel to new places and have a habit of
looking up facts about them. I try to go prepared about weather conditions,
various tourist attractions,cuisine to be tried out, shopping etc. I love to
write about places visited,so as to share experiences with all and inspire
people to travel equipped with knowledge about them. Before I get down to the brass tracks,here are
some facts about myself that very few people know.
I was born on 29th June
1959. I was a first born and it was a home delivery and my grandfather Sri Pala
Muddu Krishnaiah was a famous business man in Madras (now Chennai). The obstetrician Dr Kalavathi was quite upset about me,a breech
baby and quite tiny!
While having her meal at home, she
was discussing about me with her mother. She was quite concerned - wondering
whether I would survive. Her old grandmother who was lying on her bed suddenly
spoke from the corner of the room, in a low haunting voice “don’t worry about that baby, she is going to survive,become a famous
doctor and is going to tour the entire world”.
This tale was quite often repeated by
my mother,which inspired me to study well and excel in academics. Leaving aside
the famous doctor part, I would really love to travel the world all over before
I die, a fact which I know is next to impossible,but I will definitely try to
do, to achieve my dream as much as possible. As the saying goes “Yeh dil maange more, Aha”.
I am lucky to have a life partner who though not very fond of travelling, developed the travel bug and accompanies me
in my travel and enjoys the tours, immensely. We have been to many famous
places in India and abroad. I have written travelogues which have been
published in many leading newspapers and magazines in Telugu. But now,I have
decided to pen my thoughts through a blog in English for my friends and
relatives who are more familiar and conversant in the English language. The
blog posts will initially be of my travel experiences in New Zealand, recently visited
, a lovely country worth visiting by all. My dream is to make the post so vivid
that you can all see the places through
my eyes and book a flight to experience it all by yourself!
