As indicated in my previous post, boredom has captured my life and inspite of my many efforts to get over it, I’ve failed miserably. This boredom has led me to visualize places I’d like to go to, mostly those the ones I’ve read in books..
-Paris: It’s considered the most romantic city of the world. The museums like Louvre,the Churches lend to the city a certain charm and mystery, especially intensified by Dan Brown’s Da Vinci Code. And then its got that dream like flavour to it, lent by the painters, musicians, the architecture, I can go on..
-Egypt: Pyramids, mummies, architecture, grandeur, mystery, need I say more!!
-Kerala: “God’s own country”, how aptly said.
-Vegas: The glamour, the larger than life image, the blinding lights, the sheer richness and opulence!! I once want to have enough money to be able to blow it off at the best casino there and hopefully not regret it too.
-Russia: For reasons unfathomable to even me, but as somebody tried reasoning my own reason, romance perhaps. I got enchanted by that place after reading Ayn Rand’s We the Living.
-Bahamas: The three S’s..
-Morocco: There’s a certain royalty about that place, a cultural heritage and that enigma factor, something that most of the Islamic cities have. Plus, I like the way its pronounced..
-Ladakh: The hills, the clear blue skies and lakes, the serenity, the air that is so fresh and cold that it hurts when you breathe, the subdued paleness where one colour blends into the other, like a water painting, the whiteness so stark that you have to shut your eyes.. No I’ve not been there, not yet!!
-Tibet: Buddhism inspires me, rather fascinates me even though I do not know much about it.
-Australia: Gotta see the coral reef and witness the Opera once in my lifetime.
These are the places I’ve heard about, read about, wondered of but am sure there’d be a zillion others that though do not have the discovery or enigma factor I look for in a place, they’d be a wonder just for the beauty, the peace, the ones am still to learn of and add to the list.

lovely post sam.. du usually write such nice posts when u r bored ? :)
sometime back Travel & Living had ranked 20 best cities in the world for travellers.. i think Barcelona was rated No.1
i wud want to visit an active volcano someday!!
there are places more beautiful than you can imagine and still don't have popular names for e.g. koh samui in thailand, french polynesia and the list can go on...
lovely!!
Of the 10 places u've mentioned, I've been to 2 and the 3rd is bout to happen :-)
n ur right, there are undoubtedly a zillion more ... wer r u heading to first ? do it soon ... global warming will steal d charm soon :-P
Visit ladakh! visit ladakh!. Me dads in the army, so i got to see the best of it. And im telling you. its true paradise. get to ladakh 1 get to ladakh! screw paris, its full of gay men with bad dressing sense. And too many lights which completely destroy the concept of a "quiet 'night' out". but thats my typical not-so-thotful thinking. :P
peace,cheers,respect
