Farthest from Home !

Journey of Miles !

Summers of 2010

Well Canadians call it summer, but it is no lesser than winter for an Indian.
Although I have not done much in these 4 weeks, but unknowingly have gathered some unforgettable experience in this life. I am here at Vancouver this Summer. If you wanna know more of this place, must watch the short clip below.




31 Days of May !

1. Zipped cloths, shoes, food items like never before. Well I ended up with luggage more than my weight.

2. Longest day of my life - 36 hours !
From Powai to CSIA through the roads of Mumbai
From CSIA to Frankfurt through the lands I have never been
From Frankfurt to Vancouver through the shades of Eyjafjallajökull

What a day to take to !
What a way !!
What a way to make it through !
What a day !!
