Sometimes I really find it very funny and at the same time
very sad that whenever people plan a long vacation they try to plan outside
India. When they travel outside India ad return, they are all gaga about the
good locations and cultures they have explored. But if you ask them how many
places they have visited in India, for the moment forget about the question of
exploring India, if you ask them if they have explored their local location
completely the answer would be No.
It is very sad that leaving all the fantastico cultural
heritage, unbelievable beautiful and paranormal location in India, people go
outside our country to explore nature’s beauty.
Can you find another Kerala outside India? Can you find
another Manali outside India? Is there any other location in the world as
fantastico and beautiful as Leh Ladhak? Is there any country in the world which
has so many number of serene beaches as found in Maharashtra and Goa? Is there
any other country which as all seasons equally available as in India? Is there
any country which has numerous and fantastico rivers, religions, cultures,
languages, beliefs, varieties of food, places, behaviors, gods of worship,
rituals, practices, democracy, intelligence, courage festivals and celebrations
comparable to India? I have no second thoughts in answering this question as
NO. There is no other country as fantastico as India.
I myself have travelled across the world. I had been to US,
UK, Scotland, Philippienes, Thialand, Europe, but none of the locations are as
fantastico as India. I am not saying that these countries are not beautiful.
They are all wonderful but visiting them without exploring the rich heritage
residing in our country is sad.
Akshardham in Delhi, Kingdom of Dreams in Gurgaon, Qutub
Minar in Delhi, Taj Mahal in Agra, Ajanta and Ellora caves are some of those
human created places in our country (out of the endless list) which are incomparable
anywhere in the world.
Recently one of my friends visited Scotland and told me how
beautiful the place is and he has not seen such beautiful place in India. I
asked him, have you been to Kerala. He said No. I said good, because if you had
visited Kerala, then you might have felt that you wasted your money to travel
all the way to Scotland to see the nature’s beauty.
Another friend of mine had recently gone to US on an office
trip and was talking about some human created places and studios which really
impressed him. Since I had already been there, I asked him, did he ever visited
Akshardham or Kingdom of Dreams. He said No. Then I told him, that next time
when you plan your vacation please include Delhi as one of your destination and
visit these places. These are way beyond the international standards and
absolutely fantastico.
The list of such fantastico places in India is endless.
