Been there done that!

It's been a pretty long time since I got a chance to update my blog.
Just plain lazy or been very busy.. dunno..

Of late, have been thinking of keeping a record of some of the good things in life to do. One of them has been exploring the world. Well, that is a far fetched dream, but in an earnest attempt, let me begin with places I have already visited in India (and other few places elsewhere in World).

Sometime in near future, I shall perhaps Geo-tag my photos on flickr and elsewhere to indicate the places visited. But for the time being, let me begin with a static list of 'Been There, Done That'!

I shall also maintain a '1000 places to visit before I die' and try to see how often I can move the items from this list to 'Been there...' list.

Btw, being on topic of 1000 places to visit before I die, here is the link to the official site for the places to explore in the world:
