"Brother, why are you showing us that your life is better than us?" these are the lines of one of my facebook friend on my latest post about my travel.
So just after this I was like, Is it?? I am traveling a lot , exploring places and capturing moments. I am feeling like it's my job. Any traveller or wanderer who is going here and there, so it's not like they are on the vacation and they are getting a handsome amount to spend on their trips. Reality is very different. People who are working in corporate or anywhere , may be you always have work pressure and hectic schedule but at last you are getting a fix amount for your survival. A person who is not from a very rich family and have wanderlust, for them it's not that much simple. There is no sallery, no incentives and no security. Traveling is fun , yes but for those who meant for it. Do you remember your childhood or college days when you travelled somewhere? Do you remember those preparation, those bookings and all planning?? After that when you reached that place still you found there should be something more. Now let me tell you what is meaning of travelling like a backpacker?
There is no proper long planning, There is no previous bookings, No seats , mostly use of public transport crowded and dirty and you need to travel on that only because you don't have other options. Neither you have that much money nor you have time. I do remember lastly I visited a place in Uttar Pradesh (India) just before the festival of Holi. It was like impossible to enter the coach of train and I travelled in that. 14 hours ,was standing on a single place . Do you really think it was fun?? Obviously no, but still we do that if needed as we already decided to reach the place. Its like completing the target in corporate.
So you always need passion and enthusiasm either for your work or for your passion. Following your passion is even more difficult . A traveller travel not for money, not for fame but only for that passion .
I don't even have a job. I write, I click, I cover and I explore just because I love to do that.
"Passion is really important for your passion."
