Humans are, by nature, a
nomadic species. Eons ago, early humanoids travel far and wide to
hunt for food, look for resources, and make fellowships with other
nomadic tribes. But the domestication of animals and the need for
security brought these nomads into simple structured units, slowly
emerging into civilizations of complex relationships. It goes without
saying that the emergence of civilization constricted the human instinct
to travel, be free, and be one with nature. |

On the other hand, civilization opened
up new vistas for humanity to explore: arts and culture, politics,
the ethereal, and the ideological. Traveling was no longer confined
in physical spaces, immeasurable in hours or miles. Traveling became
a daily experience, transcending all boundaries.
Infected with
wanderlust (Adventure trails,
political tales, and other travails
)
is a testament to one man's incessant longing to be free from physical,
political, or social boundaries. It is the author's motley collection
of travel diaries, random ruminations, and straight-from-the-gut
opinions on public affairs.
Adventure trails documents the
author's nature trips, mountain logs, adventure experiences, and
out-of-bound escapades to the great outdoors. On the other hand,
political tales narrates the author's take on raging issues
of the day.
Finally, other travails are the
author's random ramblings and sporadic thoughts about whatever piques
his interests.
