The idea was objective: Would I believe the world to be the place as anybody else had seen and experienced it or would I trust myself?</p><p>The aim of penning this book down was to share what it means to travel through the heart and mind of a person who always romanticized traveling and later found a way of life in it. I can&rsquo;t say which one was better but while the grass is always greener on the other side it&rsquo;s the one at your side that keeps you running.</p><p>You may peep into my side of the story here. I do try to facilitate you at most places&mdash;with visuals. All the photographs belong to me and barring a few stories most of the narratives are supported by visuals from those journeys.</p><p>So here are my journals from different parts of India traveled by public transport to all places where I have stayed for less than Rs. 1500 a night and on an average of Rs. 700 per night.
