Dhaka, April 11 -- I like to lead a touch of itinerant life, never really going for a career path. I get involved in many kinds of work and they all stick to me, nothing really is lost. So I end up doing many kinds of tasks and as luck would have it, visit many lands as well.

I have travelled wearing many hats and to very different places and have collected memories and some livelihood coins as well. Best to say I have survived despite my slightly unorthodox lifestyle. It has been fun and now that I am approaching my mid 70s and I don't plan to travel anymore, once in a while I share my experiences of fun, learning, and sometimes poignant observations.
