(no title)

Well, today is Wednesday and the coming 4 days are holidays (thurs-national holiday fri-leave sat,sun-weekend) and I am in this awesomely wonderful continent of Europe and the top most tourist destination in the world (read-PARIS, refer-wiki) is 2.5 hrs from where I am sitting right now. There is not a soul in 500 km of radius I can call a friend of mine. And everyone is going out and visiting famous European cities. And I dont feel like going anywhere, doing anything or talking to anyone. I think with the increase in age I am turning into this pathetic lazy person but frankly I dont remember myself being extremely cheerful about visiting new places or having a ‘good holiday time’. I have never gone to school trip/college trip. Since my childhood I have always been on holiday trips with my parents except the two trips in last one year and these two have been extraordinarily foolish and adventrous in the sense that I had no idea that I will go on a trip before 4 hours of sitting in a cab with two of my dearest and craziest of friends.

Family trips have been fun but though not always. In the last trip to southern India I had the worst fever of my life and was stuck in an unknown city for 4 days with 104 fever.  Also my parents like to visit the colder places in summers-’the hill stations’ and I hate cold weather more than anything. I remember when we went to Bangalore Mysore and Ooty trip, I had to buy a sweater in Ooty and still I was shivering. That day I swore never to visit Ooty again.

But I don’t mind the extreme cold weather here because its usually warm inside the apartment and buildings and I don’t have to stay in the streets for more than 10 mins. But I hate planning to visit the places, searching for cheapest fares available and booking tickets online (its a lengthy and boring process, also these sites have the worst usability)

I might have a problem with traveling on holidays or may be I am an extremely lazy person or may be I have no enthusiasm left. Whatever may be the reason, I am in the middle of this awesome continent with no wish to travel around. At the end of these 2.5 months, if I don’t go out of this town, some people might say I wasted a wonderful opportunity and I can only reply that I have been doing the same since past 20 years.
