ABOUT ME

By
I am Ajay Garg, and I am a journalist, writer and an avid traveller. A nomad by heart, I love to explore places. Most of my travelling so far has been as a backpacker.

After spending 14 years of my life working in various publications as journalist, I said good-bye to my job and started free-lance writing. As a writer, my areas of interest are travel, cinema, culture and international affairs. I write articles, travelogues and poetry.

Stamp collection has been a hobby since childhood, and somehow, this hobby has been instrumental in making me a travel-buff. Those little stamps were like a window to the world, and as I was growing up, I was travelling whenever I got the chance to do so.     

My backpacking experiences have given me a real feel of the places I have been to, and have helped me understand people, lifestyles and cultures in their purest form. And do I have to mention that every time I go backpacking, I meet like-minded people, and come back home after making lots of new friends.

Through this blog of mine, I intent to share my travel experiences with you. My thrust is to give you first-hand information about the destination covered in the travelogue. Apart from travelogues, I will be providing my readers with useful information and travel tips to make their travelling a memorable and fun-filled one. 

Though, I would be updating the information regularly, I would urge you to share with me any updated information if you have one, so that It could be passed on to other travellers. In coming times, I will be inviting your experiences as a traveller.
So, folks! let's go together on a journey of this planet through words. Trust me, you will not be disappointed at any point. And, I would be happy if you could share this blog with your friends and on your Twitter and Facebook pages.  
Your comments, suggestions, queries and feedback are most welcome. You can reach me at betterperson@gmail.com 

Happy Reading!!!!

My experiences at Pahalgam Summit

As the continuously jerking bus we are sitting in scuttles ahead on faintly-lit metallic road running and winding along the roaring Lidder River, Kalyani Prasher blurts out her mind– “I could have never imagined myself travelling in Kashmir in this much dark of a night. This is different.” I hear this and feel  somewhat   startled. How can she read my mind? Is she some kind of a clairvoyant or what! Because I am sure if Kalyani wouldn’t have uttered those words, those would have been my words a couple of moments later. It is almost 9 o’clock in the evening, or rather night. I look ahead of me and then behind me. Nirupama Dutt seems busy looking out of window, and so are Rafat Quadri, Ghulam Pathan and Rajesh Sharma sitting in back rows. May be, some of them are already lost in similar thought with their gaze directed nowhere, and some are trying to lose themselves in the almost musical babbling of the crystal clear Lidder waters. But I am sure of one thing- no one i...

Filmfare Award for two of the best

It was just another day, until I came to know about the announcements of Filmfare Awards for this year. Two awards had gone to two friends of mine... and more importantly, to such persons who are talented, have worked hard to make a position in tough-tough Bollywood, and who did deserve it. And it was a coincidence that both of them had been alumni of Panjab University, and I have known them since I was myself a student there in Chandigarh. Well, these two are-- Mahie Gill who bagged critics award for best female actor in a lead role, for her performance in 'Dev D'; and Irshad Kamil for his heart-touching lyrics of 'Ajj Din Chadeya..' in film 'Love Aaj Kal'. And both of them belong to that rare category of people who become more and more down-to-earth as they climb up the ladder of success. Talk to Mahie, and she will sound as a girl next door... talk to Irshad, and he will surely be fun to talk to. What's more, I can talk to both of them in Punjabi. ...

So little she knew!

The day she started becoming aware of the things around her, she started dreaming. Surely, these were not daydreams. Her deep eyes were full of expectations and wishes for a wonderful life ahead. She was a thinker, and her thoughts were sincere. She was far more mature than the bunch of boys of her age. She had always been a step ahead of them in terms of maturity. She laughed, she giggled, she smiled, she sat silent, she was sad, she cried, she wept, she loved, she hated. She did everything a normal human being does. She planned about her life the way every healthy mind thinks. She went to school, then to college. She never failed to blush whenever she received a compliment. She studied well, not just to make a career for her but with an aim to be better mother to her children. And mere thought of being a mother someday used to fill her with a sense of pride and satisfaction. And then, a time came when she became a mother. Till then, she had not known what relaxation ...
