Traveling is not just fun and excitement. There is ample scientific research to suggest that it is highly beneficial for our physical, mental and emotional health. Most people tend to be happier when they are traveling and do not have to worry about any official or domestic work.

During my 30 years of service in the Indian Air Force, I got the opportunity to travel to many destinations across the country on posting. My wife, Prabha, and I became very fond of travel and experienced new horizons, which are continuing even after retirement. In fact, we became more active travel-wise as we had plenty of time and money; courtesy of the handsome pension provided by the Government and the children well settled abroad.

Traveling has been made very easy as the travel agencies make elaborate arrangements for stay and well-planned sightseeing agenda. We made full use of it and visited a few countries of our choice.

I am quite fond of writing and decided to reflect on our travel experiences in the form of travelogues which are included in this book. I sincerely hope that the readers will find these interesting.
