I am not one one of those who have a bag packed, waiting to leave any time.Given a chance, i like to stay home and spend time with family. but if i have to go for a vacation, i leave all the decisions and planning to my wife kranti. i just ask her to choose a destination that lets me relax. the one thing that is vitally important to me is that a holiday must allow me to de stress. we are so caught up in our schdules that it becomes important to take a break once a while. whenever i am on tour , i try and mix with the local people as much as i can. that helps me understand their culture, their lifestyle much better.the easiest way is to catchhold of a local and let him take you around the place . another simple way is to step out of fancy five star hotels and eat your meal at local joints . those are the best spots where you can understand the spirit of a place. to get a feel of the place , see how the people go about their daily activities.
