I am stuck at home as I am broke..no money to fly or stay in a decent hotel and all trains are running full.So am currently looking for sponsors and well wishers and good ideas to travel without spending much.I write for a living and so if any magazine or website out there wishes me to travel to Kerala or Kumbakonam in exchange for a story, I am game. Hope some resort or hotel owners out there are listening as well and will show me some hospitality in return for some publicity. This weekend has been particularly disappointing. Four destinations were planned and they all remained in the planning stage only . Next week seems to be going the same way . So, here I am sitting and looking at my old pictures and feeling nostalgic
ha..dear L: at first i thought your feet needed scratching…
Awww.. there is nothing worse than wanting to travel but being unable to….
i can loan u some.. let me know!!:D
btw, thot u were to come here with athai.. wat happened?
😛
The picture makes a good attempt to speak the post. 🙂
All the best!
Sorry to hear that you are grounded due to lack of funds. Hoping that some god news come your way soon.
I am always short of funds.. my himalayan trip was on borrowed money 😉 dont worry in a couple of days u will get a call…a divine intervention..
o oh how sad. I am also very restless now a days.
I also or used to trave a lot out of passion but last 4-5 years some reason including finance , even stuck at home .
I understand you.
That’s say wandered feet not easily stays at a place. I wish you get the wanted to travel and explore many places. Best wishes buddy! we didn’t forget, u said to write post on kodai right 🙂
I wish you success with your future plans. All the best!
Lakshmi, drop in home some day!
The picture and your writeup made me smile. 🙂
i too need a sponsor…im broke!
Maybe its a sign…for the much needed rest or better still write THE book…that will provide constant income 🙂
Hope your feet stop itching soon tho
hey!!!
am jealous of you….i get to travel once in six months…rest of the time am doing what you are doing now…looking at pics and getting nostalgic!!!
Lakshmi-
Hopefully, this post might reach out to a larger audience and you will soon be able to resume your travelogues.
Ugh. I know just the feeling. It’s the worst form of restlessness that there is.
But maybe it’s a good thing. Maybe you’ll get nostalgic enough looking at some of the photos and churn up a new blog on some of the old places you’ve been to and never blogged about. Or maybe the itchiness will get so bad that you’ll discover some places right near where you live that you never knew existed. Just drive down roads you havent driven before. 😉
Hi Lakshmi! Oh dear, welcome to the group… 😉 Stuck!! Why don’t you take a look at Chatwin’s «Anatomy of Restlessness»? Could help… 😉
Meanwhile, do you want to have a look at a magic place: Delos, Apollo’s birthplace and home to Dionysus sanctuary? Blogtrotter has it! ;))
Hope you enjoy! Have a great weekend!
Oh, that’s tough. Travel can become addictive, I know! I hope something goods works out for you soon.
Best wishes
Kamini.
Hopefully this dry spell won’t last too long. Perhaps it’s a chance to res a bit?
Here’s an offer.
2 nights 3 days in the national capital. includes a homely stay, a/c double, wi-fi to keep your blog updated, a car though w/o driver but can be arranged at a minimal cost.
You would be sharing the apartment with other inmates, includes a 3.5 year old hyper-active kid.
The weather is pretty nice here and someone wrote at some post that Delhi has more than 150 monuments.
that is why you should advance in yoga..you can travel anywhere in the world in yogic trance..
Lovely picture, describes your mood so well. Hope something comes your way and mine too!
I feel for that little goat out in the rain, and for you too! I hope you have been swamped with people wanting you to write about their places, and paying you well.
Good luck! 🙂
