travels make and breaks life ......... i was fortunate to have lot of travel in my career...

some years back i had noted down all my travel days in my diary.. ( image attached..)

last day Biju was searching for all his travel dates to US, and he was struggling to find some of the entry/exit days.. he needs that for applying H1B Visa..

Although i dont need any H1B or any other thing -- i though of my old diary pages.. brought it back this time...

i am very much fond of dates.. ( not dating ) .. when i saw dil chahta hai.. i saw similarity in the joker lover who loves saif's girl ( whats her name ?) and me... both of us are fond of dates...

no idea for a blog.. so thought of publishing the dates... from the time i first landed in japan on Feb 11 1997 ....... the last visit to Detroit sometime in 2002, and the two week visit to japan just before marriage in 2001 is not recorded.. so i have to search in my passport for that later...

Well, Rajas are the most immobile guys ever!

And the scare in the air was on the eve of 50th anniversary of independance. Not just a normal ind day
