Do you like travelling?
Yes, I like travelling very much. In fact, travelling is my hobby and I also prefer travelling by all modes of vehicles. I love to explore new places and travelling let me broaden my horizon of experience and learning new things.
What place do you most like to visit?
I like visiting wide open places filled with trees and sands, and accordingly, the sea beaches are the best places that attract me. Besides, places with natural beauty are always on my priority list. My second preference is the places with historical significance.
How often do you visit this place?
Umm…. Usually, I try to visit the place twice in a year. But if I cannot always manage time, I try paying the visit at least once a year.
Why do you like it so much?
I like it because I love nature. Observing the natural scenes from a hill, hearing the sea waves, gazing at trees, enjoying the moonlit night on the wide sea beaches etc. are the most favourite activities of mine. They are a kind of addiction for me. Besides this, the historical places are great to visit in terms of witnessing the past history and learning new things.
Is it popular with many other people?
Well, I don’t think that this popular among many people. In fact, the number of people who want to go close to the nature is very limited. Though many people visit the beach, I think few of them enjoy the scenic beauties.
Has it changed very much since you first went there? In what way?
Yes, the place has changed greatly since my first visit. Earlier, the beach was less crowded as it was located in a corner but with the modernization, the number of tourists has increased and thus it remains crowded always even at the night time. Apart from that, the transportation facility has improved and the number of resorts and tourists’ activities has also increased significantly.
How do you usually travel to work or college? Why?
I usually ride on buses on the way to work. The bus is one of the most convenient transport modes in India and economic as well. Moreover, riding a bus takes less time to reach the destination.
Have you always travelled to work/college in the same way? Why? Why not?
No, a few years back I owned a private motorbike and used the bike all the time to reach my office. Nowadays my choice of transportation to reach office actually depends on my mood and urgency to work. On regular working days, if there are no unusual workloads, I ride a bus. But if it is a hefty working day and I need to reach office before the usual hour, I ride the bike to save time.

What do you like about travelling to work/college this way?
The bus is economical and maintains a schedule. Being on a bus gives me time to read, listen to music and enjoy the side views. These are the great things I enjoy about riding a bus.
When I am on my motorbike, I can reach office early and do not need to wait for the buses in the waiting line. Moreover, I can reach using several routes whereas a bus cannot avoid its preset directions.
What changes would improve the way you travel to work/college? Why?
I think the number of buses should be increased and the traffic system should be made more efficient with the use of technology. In some of the streets and intersection, the traffic police members control the traffic manually and it should be developed or replaced with electronic systems like the western countries. This would be a great way to reduce the traffic jam and would make the journey more enjoyable.
What are some benefits of travelling? Why?
There are a large number of benefits of travelling including it widen your knowledge and helps to get familiar with the unknown. Travelling makes your knowledge practical and you can compare the bookish knowledge and the real-life issues. The experience we get from travelling is helpful in our life and this is an excellent way of learning about diverse cultures, people and their customs. Finally, travelling also helps reduce our stress and refresh us.
How often do you travel?
Travelling is a part of my life and I frequently travel from place to place. But some of the travels are of short distance while some others are long. Usually, I go for a long trip several times in a year.
