This Budget day, typically like past ones, saw equity market volatility as the new Budget announcements trickled in. Market players react compulsively to news flow.

Inspite of saving regularly for a few months, you have ended up spending most of the money put aside for your dream car and now need to start all over again. Frustrated!

In 2014, I saw a crazy and an impossible dream. The dream was to run 42.195 kms Standard Chartered Mumbai Marathon (SCMM). Yesterday, I made it reality – my first full marathon in 40 years of being.

On the flip side, I suffered from painful knees, blisters on the sole of my right foot and a painful Iliotibial (IT) band. But my spirit is still intact. My mind repeated – ‘Bring it on, I can do and achieve whatever I want. Not only will I fight it out, I will win.’

The concept of full-time travel has captured the popular imagination for several years now. While some people are critical of this way of life, others are inspired by it. I belong to the second category, and while I haven’t made a decision to go nomad yet I’ve had the privilege of having some heart-to-hearts with people who have. On a recent press trip to the Philippines, I met a bunch of passionate travelers and gleaned some interesting nuggets about their lifestyle and what they’ve learnt along the way.
