The Happy Wanderer

What’s your travel style? Are you itinerary and schedule driven, needing to have every step mapped out in advance or are you content to arrive without a plan and let happenstance be your guide?

I’ve always been a spontaneous person for the most part, I’m yet to fly away with the winds on my own as of yet.

If you could live a nomadic life, would you? Where would you go? How would you decide? What would life be like without a “home base”?

Not sure if I’m not already one, in a virtual sense. Being already a sort of vagabond, I actually one to travel around the world one day as a nomad. Well, adventurer sounds more nice doesn’t it? 😀 But really I want to be a Pokémon Trainer Master! If only…

That Time Travel Thing

So Blogwati Geeeeeeee said there will be blood time travel. So here is time travel.

Apart from the title with too much Ts, my not-so-great humour and the above video with a guy sitting and walking (and floating) across different places playing an instrument whose name I had to Google search, what entered my mind was:

  • I’m also mostly a vagabond to my current capacity. While I consider myself an ‘aspiring traveler’ so far I ended up going to a few places and mostly I too walk on the streets.
  • Without an instrument or fancy gimmicks though. Heck I don’t even know to play a single instrument despite how rock n’ roll or metal head I look. I prefer any and all kind of music as long as I enjoy it. Same goes for other things as well.
  • I have spent all my time don’t know what I’m doing or what I want most of the time. Well, walking takes time too though.

time-travel-clockWell, you must be thinking that the song/video is called as ‘Time Traveler’ but had more to do with space, as most of what I wrote right? Well both are so inter-related as a matter of fact (it’s a science thingy, called space-time continuum, but let’s not go there)

Hey don’t click that wikipedia link (yet), BE HERE.

That being said, in short, I don’t know how time flies nor I spend too much time (or any as a matter of fact) thinking about what happened. Guess I’m so hopeless in the moment right?

My daily mantra.

Well, traveling in time or otherwise, that video reminded me of how the most powerful ‘thingy-s’ in life are so simple. Or maybe I’m the wise guy who always knew it and giving it too much credit which it doesn’t deserve.

With enough of space-time thingy (what a nice word not to use anytime conveniently when you don’t know the particular term associated with something, even when people are so lazy now that they don’t bother to look it up despite being on the internet, let alone in real life) here is something for your entertainment if you didn’t knew already, if you don’t read comics but are an avid reader (then for who knows what misguided reason you don’t read comics) of literature then you should check this comic series called Deadpool: Killustrated, based on the fan favourite character Deadpool who is known for Breaking the Fourth Wall. Here in these stories, this guy is bored and with nothing to do (in a manner of speaking) goes around traveling in time and butchering famous novels in literature. Hell fun (or should I say ouch). 😀

Deadpool-Killustrated-coversThanks for reading. Now you may *click click* on those links I provided for more of your knowledge. 😛

Stranded

You’re stranded in a foreign city for a day with no money and no friends. Where do you go; what do you do?

Would be really odd if I get into such a situation. I dealt with both scenarios ie no friends and no money each individually, and both at the same time, but the catch was that it was here in my home city. I remember once I didn’t even had a cell phone, no money at all in my wallet and well I’m the sort of sociopath with no friends most of the time. I remember once many years ago I got ‘separated’ from my mom, and boy was she so dam worried, well I remember we had a quarrel and she didn’t care about me having no money or a mobile that time as I was only the ‘carry boy’. All guilt rushing to hit her. Made me kinda chuckle (I know, call me evil) I just manage to walk distances and get in a train and travel back home without a ticket (nothing new here, and hey that wasn’t a major crime, in fact a pathetic way for the corrupt cops to prey on, as if they needed something really wrong to happen for earning extra bucks). Even if I got caught, I got literally nothing on me so wasn’t much bothered either. Now this was as I said in my home city, making it bit more ‘comfortable’ for such a scenario. In a foreign city in another part of the city it would have been much more trickier, and exponentially more if it were another city in another country. I might have just gone to a restaurant, hotel or an industrial building whatever nearby and ask for help depending on where I’m. Well hoping people know english and are kind enough to offer aid to a foreigner.

Seven days worth of money?

You wake up tomorrow morning to find all your plans have been cancelled for the next seven days and $10,000 on your dresser. Tell us about your week.

It can cover a short trip to Europe or something, despite the fact it will cost me more but this will help. Anyways I don’t have any great plans for the next several weeks or so, besides unless I have this sort of money…

or like this…

what difference is it really going to make?

Well not that I’m saying it’s really useless, one will be a fool if says so. I’d rather just buy some stuff and save the rest. But what I really want to do is this:

Whee!

No, Thanks

Is there a place in the world you never want to visit? Where, and why not?

There is no such place (as of yet) that I despise, I want to travel everywhere and see new places, but there were times I felt that I felt I never want to go back there again. One such place is Kota, Rajasthan, India.

I spent grades 11 and 12 there, for preparing for all the prestigious engineering entrace exams of the country. What a joke. While I learned a lot and had both good as well as a bad time there (should be kind of obvious which weighed what), I don’t think I’ll ever want to go there.

And besides, I don’t want to visit a riot/war struck place either. Or somewhere where I might get mugged or killed.
