real Stories from those who make them up




Kurt Andersen in Going south brings up Depth charge wile talking of a drink. Drinks and Car Bomb. The author admits that he is not able to recall all the details. with that, he lends credibility to an age old memory even though its a big no to say that you dont remember anything to your reader. But you can wake up and find yourself in  The Mountain mine and not recall where you are. All those vacation places, where you wonder what would it be like to stay there, assuming that place is not open to the ravages of modernity. I have thought of a life in Nainital. 

Among Saudi sands, Keija Parssinen finds the yard and house of her childhood smaller than she remembered. After college, when I went to my grandparents place, the long walk that the fields seemed to be at, were all very close. No wonder the old game goes on Are we there yet and its few more steps away. I have seen an aerial view of Dubai landing in. Does that count towards knowing the place from the most vantage point possible? And from there, I saw the Fountain Hills in action. 

The travelers at some point relate to the places they have been to like they would with lovers.

You cant go to that country (India) and not have your relationship to colour change.- Sophie Cunningham
