Travel & Food - Some of the best Mithaiwalas & Farsanwalas in India, that I have visited.

Today, I will be posting my first ever main article in this travel blog. 

Its about Travel & Food....

Travelling to different places and enjoying it makes us feel excited. But, tasting different local food preparations during travel, makes us calm & relaxed. 

Amongst these local food items, there are no. of dishes with some peculiar flavours and smells which we, certainly, cannot connect with. 
But then, there some food preparations which are definitely..... the delicacies. We share some kind of relation with them. Our tongue, our nose, our mind, our heart, our soul & we ourself connect with these tastes & flavours, smells & fragrances and what not! 

Thus, they provide a feeling of completeness to the travelling and in turn give us the feeling of satisfaction and pump in us, the positive energy to freshen up for our further daily routine & future endeavours.

So..... the bottom line is that, the food is an integral part of travelling.

Wherever we go, we try to find local, authentic food specialities. We relish the best of delicacies there and make memories. We carry some of the recipes we like, along with us to try in our kitchen.
When we go back to these places or visit them again, we make it a point to buy these delicacies and bring them home or relish them there itself. 

But, we... certainly do this. Because these food specialities create their own mark, their own place in our heart.  

Now, with the same feeling, I wish to share about some of the Mithai & Farsan Shops which I believe are amongst the best Mithaiwalas & Farsanwalas in India. Some of these are the shops which I have been visiting for over several years & some are those, whose delicacies I have tasted once or twice, but  want to revisit them in near future.

In this article, I would be just making a list of these food joints. But, in further articles, we would be going in detail about these Mithai & Farsanwalas and there best delicacies.

Why Travel

What is the purpose of traveling?

The purpose of travel is connected with building social relationships, opportunities to learn and grow, and commitment. It gives us the chance to be truly engaged in an activity, to develop new skills and to discover new cultures. It brings us closer to ourselves and others.
Why do people travel?

Have you ever been asked: "Why do you travel?" Maybe you even asked it yourself?

Do you remember your answer? Was it something like:

"Because!"

"We love it."

"It is what we need to do."

For many, answering this question turns out to be difficult. Even if it is somewhat clear to you, explaining it to others - especially to those who are not infected by the travel bug -  is a considerable challenge.



"Is it simply a way to relax?"  Why not go fishing for a day or book a spa treatment instead?

"Can we reduce it to the adrenaline rush we might feel?" If that is the case, we can also go on a roller coaster ride.
What is the purpose of travel?

As a psychologist, neuroscientist and someone who loves to travel I had to find a better answer.
According to scientists

Researcher Filep Sebastian makes a strong case that "a fulfilling travel experience is not only about satisfactions. It is also about how personally meaningful we found our travel activities".

The purpose of travel is connected with building social relationships, opportunities to learn and grow, and  commitment. It gives us the chance to be truly engaged in an activity, to develop new skills and to discover new cultures. It brings us closer to ourselves and others.

In other words, all the things we need to increase our resilience!


According to long-term travelers

Konrad Waliszewski asked long-term travelers why they travel. He received responses like:

    “It has deepened my life”
    “My perspective has shifted”
    “It opens up your possibilities and your horizons and the kinds of conversations you can have, the kinds of experiences you can have”
    “It changes how I see and interact with nearly every aspect of the world around me”
    “I travel to learn”
    “It provides context apart from me”


Our brain

Our brain filters constantly all the information around us. It decides how we experience and interpret the world. What we see, hear and feel depends not only on our senses. It also strongly build upon what we believe, value, know and on our ability to imagine alternatives. On top of all that our brain is developed for challenges; we need them to feel good.
By submerging ourselves in new cultures, environments, culinary traditions,... we enrich ourselves with new frameworks for comparison and give our world room to grow.

That what makes people different, we find intriguing.
Things we don’t understand, we want to figure out.
Places unknown to us, we will explore.

Travel graces us with unique opportunities to (re)discover our dreams and talents, and to share these with others.
