Anticipation before Travels


Since i was a child , whenever there was travel decided in the family i used to visualize how the place would be for a new place decided . Most of my childhood travels were either to Goa or Karwar , as my grandparents stayed there.

Goa , is now a tourist place foe me it is home , a place my Father was born , the house that my ancestors built , it is a tranquil village with a river flowing in the backyard , and meeting the Arabian sea . Karwar to is place where the river Kali meets the gusty Arabian sea the meet is so unique , and this is the place where Rabindranath Tagore visited and was quiet impressed and he has cronicled the same in his numerous travelogues.

About 5 years back i had been to this place near Ahmendnagar called Chincholi Morachi , which means Tamarind and Peacocks , and yes that's what you get , there are huge number of  peacocks who roam without fear, what a tranquil place . Before going i had imagined, quaint cottages with the 'pihu pihu' crys of the peacocks , and my vision was absolutely true .

These travel thoughts came to my mind coz am travelling international next week and now am anticipating what the country will be .

Let's see if it turns out the same as in my mind's eye !!
