What Comes To My Mind When You Say...
TRAVEL?
Places...
People...
Vacation...
Relaxation...
Experiences...
~~~
These are the common terms you'd associate with Travel.
But, for me...
FAMILY
Is The Most Important Term...
As Far As Travel Is Concerned...
~~~
Because,
If, as a kid, your first visit to an outstation city was at the age of 10, (Back in 1974), that too, to Kashmir...
And, if your husband keeps travelling to the Metro Cities of India...
For one or the other Conference, once in every three months or so...
And, the Cherry on the Cake...
If your own daughter kick - started with her voyages into the World, at the age of 7...
You can very proudly say...
That...
Bon Voyage & Parivaar - #JodeyDilonKo...

I wonder where I should begin from...
From the first trip to Manali...
As Mrs. Khanduja, Maybe?
That's Us... Back In 1994... |

From That Serene Step...
In The Courtyard Of The Golden Temple...

From That Serene Step...

All Bon Voyages...
All Family Trips...
Which Resonate The Emotion...
