Bollywood for Travel Bugs

By Anonymous -

To travel is to live. Traveling is almost like a healing exercise that heals us with the beauty and experiences of the unexplored world. We meet different people, interact with different cultures and the memories we carry back are just priceless. 
Every now and then all you require is a push. A book, a sentence, a movie… that is all that is desired to tell you’re craving to travel. Movies do a good job of providing you that push. Films act as a getaway from the tough realities of life. Those three hours spent in front of a widescreen open your window to glamour, fantasy and entertainment.
