Books

I haven’t travelled the world.
Infact I’ve never stepped out of the country but I have a pretty good idea of it I guess.
It’s a little like what Matilda felt, not just places but people and conversations and experiencing culture.
You see
With Julie and Julia I was introduced to French cooking and shopping in France, with charlie I saw Wonka’s factory and with Eat,Pray,Love I went to Italy, learnt “Dolce far niente” and Bali where I found spirituality and Calcutta and even experienced a pizza Margherita.
Every time Morrie had a conversation, I pictured myself sitting in that room and just listening to his perspective on life,love,death and so many more.
I’ve read all of Nicholas Sparks and maybe the ideal location for the perfect romance setting could be anything! You no I’ve always loved history of and historical places, and Dan Brown took me through them, be it the Vatican and be lost in it’s culture or actually get to create dark matter in CERN, it is my dream you  see.
It was never limited to our planet alone, the Hitchhiker’s guide took me across the galaxy, and luckily I got to experience so many worlds.
Hogwarts for instance, and even sitting through the potions class or my favourite Profesor Lupins or just roaming the village of Hogsmeade, even the feast.
I’ve laughed for hours at the Twits and Fantastic Mr.Fox.
Been to places where the rainbows end, and through letters and emails, I might’ve visited the world, even through a pair of jeans the sisterhood of traveling pants.
I’ve danced with the beast in the hall, and I’ve gone on a vacation for the love of my life to find the love of my life?
I’ve solved murders with Poirot and mysteries with Nancy Drew and the Hardy boys.
I’ve been in the Babysitter’s club and even been through adventures in fives and sevens. To America, On the Road.

What if I told you I’ve seen the world through Hitler’s eyes and even Kalam’s.
I’ve learnt to be a rebel, like Jane Eyre.
Through 1984 and through each moment, the time travellers wife.

All of this just sitting by the window, in a room.
