Upcoming....

Ok , so this happened 2 days after my birthday last year, i was talking to an old friend, Shivaprashanth and suddenly for some reason unknown i told him what i really wanted to do for my birthday. Travel... "I would love to go to Paris", i said. And when you say this to a friend sitting miles away on a different continent the expected reply is... "Hmmm..." but he went "Ok, so lets go..." :)
We talked about it for 20 more minutes, how great it will be and how exciting and how much fun and that was it,... i was excited and he was serious. 
Four days in La Ville-Lumière - La Paris...
In next few hours i experienced 10000 feelings, a part me was so excited that it coud hardly breath and the other 10 parts of me went crazy at the thought of such a sudden turn of events. "It is not real, it will pass.","How do i think i will manage to squeeze out 4 days out of my schedule to go to France?", "What about the budget?", "Am i crazy?", "May be he was kidding and few days later this will pass"... But it did not... 
After almost half a year, and after battling my way through embassies to get a Schengen visa (which was not easy by the way) here i am writing my first blog entry for my 10 day travel to Europe. The plan is to go to a few beautiful places in Belgium, France and may be Amsterdam, some well travelled, some less known, meet some locals, try local vegetarian cuisine and drinks and have a experience of a life time.
The plan is to update this blog with every significant happening enroute. Our preparations, our views, our moments of glory and so on... so that you guys may enjoy and/or learn from our good/not so awesome experiences.
I will hope to be a more frequent updater this time and i sincerely hope your good wishes will be there with us on our little expedition and that you will enjoy it as much as i do.
Stay tuned for much more... :)
