The true spirit of traveling is in *NOT* planning on the places or (the intention of) arriving.
— I don't know who

Not to appease my reader-base (which hardly exists in the first place), But for some soul-satiation which writing does provide.

On the other side of things, Traveling has hit an all-time low and life has been so hectic that I've found very little for all else. Maybe it *should* be this way, atleast at times: You get to savor those breaks in that much more bliss. Then again, Being the perennially paranoid restless person that I am, it takes more than an escapist getaway to find true peace. As Lao-tzu remarked, "I must find my way".

Firstly, I'm setting off to Ombat guDDa this weekend. That will be a much deserved vent for my junkie-side which is fairly cooked up too.

That apart, this is what is brewing for me in the pipeline.

a) Rajasthan (OR) Dwarka-Lothal-KaliBhangan-Dholavira: [November '09]
b) Arunachal Pradesh: Tawang || Daporijo (OR) Orissa - Konark, Bhubneshwar, Puri (fallback if(lackOfTime()) { .. )
c) TN: Madurai, Chidambaram, Rameshwaram, Kanyakumari, Nagarkoil, Munnar et al - Along with the Annular Solar on 14th Jan: Jan '10.
d) Punjab + Jammu (Amritsar, Wogha, et al) - Feb '10

Ofcourse, I have a history with failed travel plans. I also have a more mentionable history with instant-make plans which are further chaotic. Remains to be seen what works out.
