A few tourists visit places for snapshots and then snap their ties with idyllic environs. It is another task for them. Picturesque spots get lost in the zeal to take pictures to be flaunted to the neighbours. Our priorities are decided most of the time by our neighbours and relatives. We need to learn to relax and enjoy the breeze, vast firmament and fragrant flowers blossoming all the way to enhance our trip. When we climb up a hill station, we can observe the weather turning pleasant in degrees and the moist wind blowing. Many doze off on the way and miss the memorable moments.
In any wildlife resort, we can find foreigners staying for a longer duration, imbibing every inch of wilderness. They become totally anonymous, shredding their identity sans any airs. The problem is that we carry ourselves everywhere. We want to have all the modern gadgets. Very often we make a slight remark, ‘law of the jungle’. Actually, things happen with a rhythm in a forest. No animal ever harms other creatures for the heck of it.
Tags become crucial in deciding the destination. Mindless crowding in a few popular destinations can be observed. Many lesser-known spots, serene and scenic, are neglected. ‘Mob mentality’ creeps in. We want similar congestion, crowd, malls, amusements and eating joints in our destinations. As a result, we return exhausted and remain enervated. I feel that the oft used term ‘home away from home’ itself is a complete misnomer. William Shakespeare wrote in his famous play, Henry V, about the need for escaping from one’s home at times to have a glimpse of the world. He says, “... `T is ever common that men are merriest when they are away from home.” If we want to have homely comforts, we might as well stay home and stagnate.
