Her dreamy style and obsession with India percolates through her entire travel blog.
Dianne Sharma-Winter’s meditations are exactly what a curious traveler to India needs.
You won’t find any hard and fast facts here.
What you will find is Dianne’s experiences living in India and wandering around the rest of the earth.
She says it best herself in this story about her childhood:
I left home when I was seven years old.
I reckoned it was time to hit the road.
So I packed a bag and plonked myself beside the Great Western Highway and waited for adventure to come and meet me.
The grown-ups had a different idea.
“Hit the road!” Roared my father, “I’ll show you hit the bloody road!”
I blamed the books.
Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn did it, the Famous Five hardly saw a grown up from dawn to mystery laden dusk.
Kids did adventure, at least in every book that I had read. And if it was in a book then it must be true.
She’s still got that fearless countenance, and you can find it in her writing.
One of her latest posts that I liked was about her adventure in taking the public bus to Ajmer and her admirable inquisitive nature about the politics of Sri Lanka.
