Wanderlust-a strong desire or urge to wander or travel and explore the world!
Bitten by the travel bug recently, I have been doing some travelling,some for leisure and some out of work..but when I am up in the air or on the roads,words just flow out of me....

Berlin-April 2015
I went to Berlin almost immediately after my exams.i was beaming in the joy of being an ophthalmologist,and being able to add 2 more alphabets in front of my name.it was purely leisure,which my dad paid for entirely(I know I am shameless but if we take up medicine our parents end up supporting us practically for the rest of our lives)as I walked through the tiny but very very fashionable streets of Berlin,I realised there's so much more to life than just planning my whole future of having it all figured out.this is the only time that I can travel and enjoy without a care in the world.once I land up a job for myself,things will be different,but I do intend totravel as much as possible because travelling just gives you a different high and you do end up connecting with yourself more than ever! the paintings all over Berlin Wall are simply spell bounding.those pictures definitely speak a 1000words!i did all the typical tourist things-walk around the tube with a map in tow,go upto the tv tower and had a scrumptious meal till the restaurant revolved 360 degrees so that I could see the whole of Berlin at one go.the history of Berlin and hitler was explained very well at the Brandenburg tor!and I ended up the trip with some shopping!it was a nice relaxing week for sure.from belgaum to Berlin ;)
Bengaluru-may 2015
The first time I went to bengaluru,I didn't really like the dull pace of it...life seemed too slow..but that was not until I got to know the people there.its mainly dominated by South Indians and what a bunch of intellectual people I must say.and the most endearing thing that I felt about them-they are very happy and secure at whatever place they are.we in mumbai are very competition driven and always wanting to achieve more than we can,somewhere in that struggle we forget to enjoy the present,the gift of the present. I went there for an interview and I am not ashamed to say that I was rejected.not ashamed because I wasn't written off,the vice chairman of that particular hospital sat me down and explained me what was wrong.he explained me how I can come back and what u should do in the meantime.how the.nExt 1-2

Years are so important and who I work with means so much more now.and you would think somebody whose so busy and so much up and above in his game would never entertain a novice like me!
So bengaluru you've been a good and stern teacher...till we meet again!
Ahmedabad-may 2015
I am a Gujarati myself so when people think I know Ahmedabad in and out and it will be flocked by my relatives.but that's not true.i personally have been to ahmedabad only twice.the heat is insane here.people don't come out from 12-4 here.people here are very fun loving and absolute foodies.the variety of food available here is crazy.gujjus do love their food,and I can vouch for that!i happened to meet an old friend and I also had the pleasure of how much he has evolved through his residency in Ahmedabad!medicine is a crazy thing,it changes your perspective about life,it clearly demarcates between the needs in life from the demands of life!its taught us what is necessity and what is luxury and we have all been scarred to reach here!at the end of this race we are all regretful of taking up this career choice.thats a dilemma we all are trying to fight through and understand it in a better way!Meeting him made me realise I am not the only one in this thick,hot and boiling soup.i have company and loads of it.we departed at the note of unexpected future surprises and to optimism to lead us.

Back in mumbai,don't know how much time till I wander again in search of a job,or a meaning to my life!i hope I get that soon because the Virgo in me is a crazy planner and doesn't understand surprises well!(guilty)
