The Backpackerfella

At 21 as a Graduate, all I wanted to do was travel. Back then I remember this ride from Manali to Leh was a big deal. I had all planned that I would work for sometime earn and then set off on a journey. So I started working in a Travel Agency with the hope of becomings a tour guide only to realise that Working in a Travel Agency cannot always get you an opportunity to travel. All my hopes of being able to travel 365 days of a year went tumbling down. So I had to find another option to earn money. Yeah! Join BPO. (Unfortunately, travel isn't free !) The better part of this job was that this was into the travel Domain. So I was still able to talk about cities and Countries far far away. Then once I had enough money I took a flight that landed in God's own Country - Kerala in 2017. There I was bitten, by the most lethal bug - called TRAVEL BUG! That's it! I could no longer stay in one place, all that planning of Six months and Six Months travel seemed vague to me. Now I wanted to do something that can earn me money while I travel. (No Tour Operators don't make much money and who wants to travel with Oldies and Middle Age people Due Respect though!) But the Universe Dropped me in yet another BPO and on my face as if saying "NO, Not yet Dear! There is a lot to do" Not much time later the stormy year 2019 arrived! Though it started with a Mesmerizing Trip to Gokarna, It had got a lot of storms with it. But, You know, Not all Storms come to block our roads, some storms come to clear your roads" And that's what I did, I gathered a big chunk of my Saving, Yeah "the BPO savings" and Booked one Bus and 8 hostels for one whole month in Northern India. This was My first Solo trip. Wait, I am not telling all the story here, Please Move on to my other blogs.
