To travel is losing oneself in an environment quite larger than you. You realise how small you are in the grand scheme of things. That you still have a long way to go and that your way is paved with unfamiliar faces racing past you in a whisker. To travel is to find no time…

![[74] Rambling About A Change.](https://rahulgaurblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/image_01-1.jpg)
The urge to write has never been there in me. I looked at writing regularly as something that every writer has to do to reach a level where they are fooled into believing that what they write is decent. Today, I feel an urge to write. It’s quite a new experience given my love-hate relationship…

The economy of the like minded has created a perception that writer’s block is a phenomenon that can be overcome only by an inspired mind. The need to understand that a constant state of flow can also spring up new ideas and reveal your underlying feelings just because your neurons are sparking up is paramount…
