Introduction

Hi ! I am very late on the blogging bandwagon as with most other tech things. But then I decided to shake myself out of the huge inertia I had gotten into and create a blog. Its only taken me a month after that to post my first blog...that's some progress I think :)

The inspiration for this blog is my husband and the countless map-reading sessions we have had so far. Like a lot of other people (not just women!) I am quite directionally challenged - both on a micro & macro level. Living with someone who knows the spatial co-ordinates of every country, their flags, tons of random trivia about these places (wee bit exaggerated) has been hugely embarassing.

Few weeks ago, when I had a couple of hours to kill at Bangkok airport, I was browsing through some blooks and found Michael Palin's "Himalaya". It's a travelogue of a group's journey across the breadth of the himalayas - from Afghanistan covering Pakistan, India, Nepal, Tibet, China, Bhutan & ending at Bangladesh.

A combination of this book and influences at home have made me extremely interested in travel to new places. Given the limitation of time & money, I am going to satisfy myself with being an armchair traveller for now :)

Will post more soon...Hopefully !
