Its a cruel thing really, to be aware of both a constant need to write about my travels and of my blog-killing inertia(read laziness). I’ve always wondered about the process of expressing what I see in my mind and whether the fact that it is challenging is born out of some higher design to ensure that only the most worthy thoughts are expressed. I’ve also thought about instruments which can capture on a screen what one sees in one’s mind. I’m certain film makers would find such tools helpful as there would be no cameras to handle or actors to pay. All they really need is this one instrument (a mind camera) which can record every scene from their minds.
I’m digressing, in fact the only sentence relevant to the subject of this post is the first one. So I’ve always wanted to write about my travels and about those tiny-often-ignored elements which enable me to really feel a place. Yet I found myself constantly pushing such endeavors to the bottom of my to-do lists. I’ve now come to the conclusion, that perhaps a common template which can be applicable to all travel related posts would make the task of blogging about a place seem less burdensome by removing the necessity to think about the style and layout of the post. Am I killing possible innovation in the way I present my travels by factoring my laziness as a constant? Yes or no depending on how you look at it. It was laziness which forced me to innovate and develop a template in the first place. In fact laziness could entice me to further simplify the template, perhaps making me deal only in videos. That would be quite innovative as well. But yes, we are digressing again!
Finally, presenting to you the “If You Are Ever in ______” Series.
