Somewhere up above
Beyond the clouds, the stars, the skies
Somewhere up above
A magnificient creation lies
All-knowing, all-powerful, forgiving and fair
In the human mind
The darkness is protected by the blue
With infinite imagination.
I quit my corporate job in the summer of 2011 and decided to travel for a living. I've lived with the White Thai tribe in a remote Vietnamese village, hitch-hiked along Turkey's Black Sea coast, swum with black-tip sharks on Malaysia's east coast, spent a night in the highest inhabited village of the Himalayas, and fallen in love with so many people and places, that I've lost count.
My travel stories have appeared in National Geographic Traveller Magazine, The Times of India, The Hindu and Lonely Planet, among others. I've been featured as an intrepid woman traveller in the New Woman Magazine and as a volunteer travel enthusiast in DNA, and interviewed on All India Radio.
In January 2012, I co-founded India Untravelled, with an aim to introduce travel enthusiasts to responsible travel experiences in rural India.

Liked it!
true
somewhere up above
there is no magnificence at all
no God no Heaven no Hell
its a big ball virtually lost
with no place to go no one to find
and all you do is stare for relief
expecting a better world
and ignoring the one that passes by
yes somewhere up above
there is a good paradox
The darkness is protected by the blue
With infinite imagination.
I like
