Wanderlust

Kavignar Vaali, a 20th century Tamil poet wrote, “Kann pona pok.kile, Kaal po.galama” (Should the legs go all places that the eyes can see?). Ignoring the philosophical meaning of this verse and taking it literally for what it is, alas, the internet has made sure that what the eyes can see is limitless or limited only to what Google can see (guess, both are same anyways). As a consequence, the legs lust to wander the roads less (read, not) traveled, so much so that the motto is the slightly modified Robert Frost gem, “And, miles to wander before I sleep, ..” and not the Vaali Vari (verse) or a Vaa.liba Veri (youthful lust) … er, a Volley Ball, what?

Under wander lust, you can find travelogues from some of my trips on the roads more or less traveled!
