I must have been in class 5 or 6 when first time I heard this word “KHANABADOSH” n since than I had a different feeling for this word or I should say for these people. I always loved the idea of the way they lead their life.
Our teacher told us that they don’t stay in a fixed placce and keep on moving from one place to other from time to time. Their community is always on move and that is why they are known as khanabadosh (The wanderers)
Few of my frnds call me khanabadosh and I simply love this name cos I want to have a life like thrs “always on move” and I try to do justice with this as much as I can.
Though being part of corporate world, its not easy for me take out time out of my working schedule to travel frequently but still I try to manage. Initally this urge was not a frequent one and I used to think that may be its just the stress of my job that I feel like going to hillstations again n again. But what I felt after my frequent travelling that the more I travelled my urge grew on n on n on and than after a time I realised that its not my stress but its my passion. I always loved travelling but may be keeping in mind the priority of study n career this passion got lost somewhere. But now when I m quite stable in my career I want to persue the love of my life i.e. traveling or can say expereincing the life of khanabadosh. I love travelling to no mans land, which is unexplored, untouched n very virgin, the idea of such traveling sounds gud n intersting but its not as much fun as it sounds cos it involves loads of adventure with twists and turns. Sometimes its end up with hapy memory ohterwise worst than a night mare.
Well whatever the outcome is, I was, I m n I will always be a KHANABADOSH “THE WANDERER”
HAPPY TRAVELLING TO YOU ALL
