Cross country Trip

With all the time to spare I have started planning my cross country trip. As of now one of my friends has confirmed on his joining me.

The trip will be spread across 2 weeks (15 days) and 10,000 kms. The accommodation will not be planned and we will be lodging wherever we want to. Covering most of the coast, the Deccan plateau, the Himalayas and the Rajasthan Desert. A trip that covers the whole nation and an experience that will last a life time. We will be travelling from the lowest part of the nation to the highest part of the nation from the hottest part to the coldest part.

More time will be spent driving, enjoying the environment and catching up with India. The big cities have been blocked only because of the options for our accommodation. If we have to we will even spend the night in the vehicle at the road side of a rural part of the country.

The plan is to escape from the crowd that we usually mingle in and get lost in the vast country of ours and get to know new people, places and do stuff we will usually not do.

Hope this plan materializes....

Realizations

Who am I...

1. Truly independent...Do what I wanna do without caring if it is right or wrong...But I have my own principles that I strictly follow...
2. Ambitious....Always shooting for the sky with my ideas. But when it comes to practicality, never...
3. Like to be appreciated...Even Subtly ask for it. Enjoy a fan following more than anything
4. Very friendly and social...I may not be a conversation starter but start one with me and you will never see the end of it
5. Loyal friend and lift up one's spirits and provide encouragement when times are rough
6. Very forgiving and don't like living in the past.
7. A knowledge bank...I like to know just about everything. Don't ever wanna be in the dark

8. I am a simple guy who doesn't like jazzy stuff

9. A foodie...I like trying out new cuisines, though the quantity I eat may not be much

10. A person who cares about other fellow beings and the environment but doesn't express it explicitly.
11. Short tempered...
12. Overbearing & Opinionated...Very stubborn when I have decided on something
13. Sensitive and Intolerant but hide it so very well that no one can see it...This quality can also be seen in the lies I tell. No one can see the difference.
14. Cannot accept failures that easily.
15. Need to feel like I have accomplished something at the end of the day.
16. Do not sit back and think; which does not make me impulsive, because I look at the future and do consider consequences of the actions
17. Have a big pride...Which sometimes can be felt...But rarely...
18. Like being the centre of attraction and fight hard for it. And when I deserve it ask for it. Can be termed Conceited...

Self Realizations

I have been good in analyzing people around me (at least that's what I think. I have been correct more than 70% of the times).

Busy with analyzing others I had completely forgotten about me. This is the case of many people. We fail to read ourselves and spend all our time reading others. I now realize I really need to do this now. Only when you know yourself will you know what you need and what you want. When you can differentiate you will know where you are shooting into the sky and where you are realistic.

So the next few blogs are being dedicated to my self realizations. It is what I feel I know about myself. Let's see how close I am to knowing myself completely.
