WHAT MAKE US TO TRAVEL

-

INDIA is a country of 1.25 billion people, a large land, with periodic weather change and diversity. You get every thing here at the same place.... the snow clad mountain in the north, to the great sandy desert in the west, beautiful Indian ocean in the south to the deep sea in the west and east of peninsula. Earlier most of our vacations were to the religious places. We were not travellers in true sense, but things have changed in the past few years. With advent of social networks the world has shrunk. The middle class of India has opened up more for travelling and lucrative offers from the tour and travel agencies have added spice to it.

 WHAT MAKES A MODERN INDIAN TRAVEL MORE THAN THAT IN THE PAST:
  • BUSINESS TOURS..... Ever since the Indian market opened to the foreign investors, there was a storm of multi national companies in Indian. Most of these MNCs have their head office abroad, and regional offices in the Indian metro cities.This made travelling of the working class more frequent and enlarged their horizon.
  • LOW COST AIRLINES..... AND HIGH SPEED TRAINS...... the introduction of low cost airlines in 2003, was a revolution. It made travel cheaper, fast and affordable, in last few years the foreign airlines has also seized to the opportunity and promoting Indian travellers  to hop on to exotic locations. Addition  of the duronto, more rajhdhani trains and the shatabdi trains, as well as the konkan and Srinagar railway projects has given more opportunities to Indian travellers.
  • SOCIO-ECONOMIC REFORM AND INTERNET SOCIALIZATION........ I think this is one of the most important factor for a break through in Indian tourist. The increased buying capacity of young Indians, has given courage to them to spend on travelling. Other important factor is socialization through Internet, looking at the blogs and the pics of the people you know travelling to exotic destination. this has unleash the inner desire and to travel more often.
CHOICE OF DESTINATION FOR HOLIDAY:
  • RELIGIOUS DESTINATION....... is still the leading reason of travel for an average Indian when they get time. It is mostly in the near by places... but the most favoured destinations are..... vaishnav devi, amarnath, ajmer shareed, haji Ali, chaar dham, tirupati...... Haj yatra is another major source of Indian travellers going to the secret land.... A land of origin of hindusm, jainism, budhism....., no wonder India is the origin of religions that is followed by half of the worlds population.
  • THE INCREDIBLE INDIA....... one of the most ancient country, and a land of great diversity blended with rich cultural history, INDIA is in the itinerary of every true traveller. From the beautiful valley of kashmir to the never ending indian ocean......... , from the Mughal architectures of delhi to the great Rajputana palaces of rajesthan...... from one of the 7 modern wonder of Taj Mahal to the wonder of submerged city of Dwarika

Effect of COVID 19 on edible oil industry and Palm oil

  The Corona pandemic has caused a havoc on the global economy. Some countries have been more affected than others. I however would like to focus on the effect of the pandemic on the edible oil industry and Malaysian Palm oil especially. Last week I attended a webinar hosted by the  Malaysian Palm Oil Council with Dr Bhavna Shah, country representative of India/Sri Lanka as the speaker and what she said about the palm oil industry right now is really food for thought. How has COVID 19 affected the edible oil industry?  The pandemic caused shutting down of restaurants and catering businesses and hence a drastic reduction in the  import of edible oils. People have reduced eating outside to a very large extent and also takeaway orders have declined. This situation was particularly grave during the lockdown period. The production of cooking oil comes under Essential goods services but the production of containers isn't. Labours migrated back to their villages from the cities in huge nu

A day in my life in Bewakoof.com Joggers and T-shirt

Just because I travel so much, most of the people who don't know me feel that my life is easy. But what they don't understand is that in order to arrange money for travelling, I work freaking hard. I can't even take off on Sundays. However I can wear comfortable casuals on weekends thankfully. Recently I came across Bewakoof.com and really liked their wide range of casuals. I chose a cool pair of denim jeans and a cobalt blue T-shirt . The T shirt spoke my mind: Gotta Move On! Usually my Sundays start very early...I know I don't have the privilege to sleep in. I play cricket and am part of the Delhi Medical Association cricket team. Our matches are held every Sunday, at seven in the morning. So this Sunday too I left at six in the morning to play. After my cricket match, I had to take rounds in my hospital. That took around 3 hours and got free at 5 in the evening. But that was not all. I, being the official Orthopedician of the Delhi Dynamos Team in the Ind

Celebs who I love following on TikTok

The world almost stood still the past two months. While everyone stayed at homes and worked from within, my job didn't permit so. Yes I am a frontline worker (a medical professional) who had to go to the hospital during the entire lockdown time. I was double stressed: Catching the infection myself as well as silently passing on to my two little kids or my elderly parents. I have been seeing and hearing people cursing this quarantined life but they don't understand it's a privilege to be able to stay within the safe confines of home and work and earn. The only respite in this period has been TikTok. Yes, I am now a total TikTok convert.  If there's anything that got a boost during this Corona pandemic, it has to be TikTok. This app has seen billions of downloads and users in the past couple of months. And why not? It's like a breath of fresh air. After I come back from the hospital and undergo a rigorous sanitation regime to ward off any kind
