How did the travel bug bite me?


Hellos,

My mission and goal of life is to travel. Explore the world as much as I can. But, in a responsible way. 
So, I started my company ‘ECOPLORE’ which helps you go on a eco friendly vacation. With Ecoplore, you get to stay in non concrete constructions. You experience life in houses made of mud, wood, stone, bamboo or any other local material but not brick and cement. I will share the journey of Ecoplore some other time but right now, let me tell you my idea of travel.


Travel for me is love, life and learning. Travel has given me the most learnings. I specially love travelling to nature based destinations as it teaches you many things. Nature has given me answers to all my questions and beyond all this it provides immense peace.

Before starting Ecoplore, I used to travel only for fun. That kind of tours continued for around 7 to 8 years but gradually I started feeling some void. There was no purpose in my travel. Ecoplore filled that void. So, now when I visit any place, I feel a sense of pride that my visit is not just giving me peace and pleasure but also contributing to environment conservation. 

Environment is the most important issue. If we don’t have fresh air to breathe, all the wealth and facilities we have created, would be worthless. Its high time, we start talking about environment conservation and choose eco-friendly way of living. And, from now on, whenever you travel, remember to select an eco-friendly accommodation instead of a concrete hotel as whatever nature we have destroyed cannot be recovered, but whatever is left can be conserved by not constructing concrete buildings and reducing the felling of trees.

People's queries for People in Power

I am a 23-year-old educated youth in the phase of understanding the scheme of things. As we pass through this eventful year of 2011, there are hundred and one questions boggling my mind. If those in power are listening, please respond to these queries from a common man.   Questions to Political Leaders When the nation is asking for a strong Lokpal Bill due for the past 40 years, why is the executive diverting attention by throwing cards of Muslim quota within OBC reservation and FDI in retail? Is institution like Lokpal a platform for providing jobs that some of our leaders are demanding reservation in it? Why are crucial Bills like Lokpal, Citizens' Charter not made accessible to common Indian through govt Websites while they are being tabled in Parliament? When govt can publish long ads explaining its version of Lokpal Bill during Anna's fast at Ramlila Maidan, why the Bill is not published when it's introduced in the House? The irony is that the m...

What is Ecoplore?

All of us love to go on holidays. It is important for us to get away from the hectic city life to rejuvenate ourselves.  On a holiday you would normally stay at a hotel, have breakfast, hire a taxi and go for sightseeing at a tourist destination full of other travellers. Those two days of hard earned leave, you had taken to relax and have some peace also goes waste into crowd, noise and pollution, this time not in your city but at the tourist destination.  Ecoplore comes with a breathe of fresh air…. All the eco-stays provided by Ecoplore are located in exotic locations. They are a bit far from the main town of the tourist destination. There is no crowd, no pollution and of course no honking cars. You are provided with all the three meals, morning and evening tea and snacks and a lot of activities. These activities could be trekking, water surfing, river crossing, ladder climbing, mountain biking, rappelling, rock climbing and many others depending on the location. The...

How I fell in love with 6 kids?

Image
Here's is the story about one of my most memorable journeys. I went to Kanyakumari to work on a Tamil feature film. The idea was to detach myself from my love but actually I got attached to 6 kids. Vella Panni is a Tamil feature film and it was my first experience to work in a feature film. I was given the role of an administrator and also as Director’s Assistant. I made lists, did some coordination and management and later on took care of the 6 leading artists who were kids woking in the movie. This was my first experience of working with the kids. When I told my mom that I am taking care of six kids, she was surprised. I was a person who could hardly spend 10 minutes with children. But, situation changes and we also change. I loved and enjoyed loving and playing with the kids. I miss them. The kid who played the role of Krishna was the naughtiest of all. He hardly listened to anyone. I will always remember how he opened a packet of surf excel, threw it, so...
