TOURISTS:
dont take public transport.
are afraid to just hop on one and see where it takes you.
TOURISTS are afraid to walk willy nilly in an unknown city.
Tourists must know when they’re going home and count the days as soon as they get there.
Tourists have their entire agenda plotted out.
Tourists limit themselves to
where when with whom and how they're gonna travel.
No surprises !!!!
No adlibbing !!!
Most tourists are scared of this world, its people, the myths that circulate.
Most tourists actually see very little!
Most tourists sit on tourist buses and listen to some jerk tell them what this building is and what statue that is .......they see cities from a window.
Most tourists eat drink move and talk solely to other tourists.
Most tourists go to the same overly travelled places.
Most tourists have to buy souvenirs and get sun tans to prove they were away.
Most are A U T O M A T O N S and think that because they get on a plane and used their rather thin passports. they are travellers.
Most Tourists want to brag that they saw MACCHU PICCU
the EIFFEL TOWER.... etccccc
NOW..............
as opposed to TOURISTS,
TRAVELLERS:
never unpack their bags, aimlessly roam and never know when and if they’re going home.

Sunsetting over Jaisalmer...............over the Thar desert..............over mother INDIA...........
over my shoulder...............................................as my heart pounds harder and harder..............................running after them as they hike home with water
they know foreigners abound here, but they seem oblivious to me........................ trying to catch the shot
my heart beats faster.......... to capture elegance, a scene i will never see in New York nor in any other part of the world , a scene of naked unmitigated beauty!
Somehow as i run i know and can feel this shot will be the highlight of my long day..........................
In my over used sneakers I chase this scene that happens out of the blue.......i know it cant happen twice i know it wont last and there are no reruns and so i sacrifice whatever it takes to capture it.................................. i steady myself........ i pray my settings are ok........................ i cannot blur this one.......................................i am 10 thousand miles away from Manhattan............. This moment wont return...........I am
thanking GOD that im alive and can paint this piece of INDIA with the press of a shutter..........................
this amazingly beautiful seductive land i cannot express how scenes like these arrest my soul, my senses, my emotions, and overcome me.
I run on the soft sand faster as they walk faster for this is their backyard not mine. they know each crevice and each stone unturned. They know where theyre going. I just see
beauty and serenity and colors ive not seen before.
the drama ends................. I am able to see what ive shot and am satisfied.................I feel I've just witnessed more than most mortals have, and i have a sense of grandiosity which i keep to myself.
As they disappear into the dunes, i too go my way.
I thank God again that he has allowed me this opportunity.
I thank god for INDIA.
