why aimless wandering?

what's the purpose of such wandering?
why 2 months or so for aimless travel?
what do you want to achieve after all this?

these questions been posted by others as well as self...

there is the fun and relaxation part, which self timed, targetless activities can provide.  there are adventures to be had, as an unplanned approach throws up unknown challenges - thus putting yourself at mercy of multitude of elements is like getting the carpet pulled from under your feet, but a good way to shift self outside comfort zone.

its like an exam, you have not prepared for, don't know the pattern of the question paper, and have no idea what problems will appear before you, in an exam hall with stern supervisors and a ticking clock. 

organic development, non-mono culture, breaking the mould, call it what you want, as you can go beyond even your wildest imaginations..  beyond self's limitations, patterns and previous conditioning.

sometimes it can be wildly frustrating before giving glimpses of an elusive epiphany.  make you meet people with whom you'd like to stay, as well as those you'd rather have not met at all...

but to be honest, there are no certifiable benefits, no conclusive arguments against conventional questions. 

how to figure out, whether a person is passionate, or obsessed??

or whether a person is meditating, or being patient as against - being lazy or slacking or confused....

all these could be different ways to describe one behavior.. 

similarly realization that 'i am lost' also can mean that, you have found 'i'.. or yourself among unknown surroundings ;)

Hmm.

Difference between passionate n obsessed, the latter is more anxious:-)

Like the optimism displayed at the end, about having had direction at certain times in life!

The break has significantly improved the quality of your blog:-P
