Exploring every moment of my life takes me to a level where I can enjoy my life. From my childhood, I long for experiences for adventure in life. I have been going to new places and same places with different companions every year to get the essence of the journey. This time I went to Nepal with two of my friends whom I met last year. This trip was a road trip from Varanasi, India to Pokhara, Nepal via Chitwan, Nepal and further to remote areas in Western Nepal, to understand their ways of living. We started from Varanasi, India. In last three decades I have visited this place once every decade. I read that it illuminate the truth and reveal the reality to those who want to understand your origin. Till now I couldn't see its wonders in the scope of my vision, but my skills enables me to see what has always been there. It’s the root of the Indian Hindu culture. We had a day to explore that part, so starting with food, we went to local lassi place, called Bana Lassi. With 80s country music, Australian and German companions, we tried out North Indian Cuisine in East Indian way. I took my friends through the narrow to the narrowest lans for shopping and other places to check out. In the evening we watched the auspicious puja takes place at the Dasaswamedh Ghat of river Ganges. Next night we had to leave for Indo-Nepal Senauli border via Gorakpur. We to a train to Gorakpur and then a local share jeep. It was Still 30kms to reach Senauli Border (via Gorakhpur to Chitwan) ... but Nepali version of lifeboy radio commercial already was making me feel like I am in Nepal. By the time we arrived at Chitwan it was late evening. Next day we headed for the elephant breeding center and Chitwan National Park. We wanted to know more about elephants because from somewhere we came to know about the usage of Elephant dung for making of various usable items like diaries and hand made bags and photo frames. Trying to explore out the whereabouts of breeding center we came near a river and saw two elephants taking bath and they are helped by the local guards of the breeding center. It was additional in our list to get a sight of this. My friend also wanted to shower and ride the elephants while taking bath. It was a dream come true for him. World is open road, that never ends. My attempt to go at the end of the road makes me wander aimlessly. In their aimlessness I find the reason to wander and wonder.
