#TravelPhoto | The story behind this travel photo is...
Hello. All right. There's a story in this image that I've shared. Might not be the best image, but it says a story. It says a story about three generations. Three generations of family members from my father's side. My father is someone who left the confines of home when he was 16. Yeah, the ripe age of 16. He had close to seven to eight siblings to feed. He had no support from his father because, unfortunately, he had expired

Abhishek. I love how this one stretch of road reminds you of just the legacy of your grandfather. And just the whole story of just the sacrifices, the journeys, the connection we have to the strength of our people. And how it reminds us that we're on the journey, literally, sometimes on the same road. And how things change, but how they sometimes remain the same too, in terms of our connection and commitment to where we come from. It's a beautiful memory. Thank you
You a picture is worth thousand words. They say yours is definitely much, much more. The picture speaks. The picture and you, of course, speak. Volume. Volumes. Volumes actually, about you. About your father, his sacrifices. I can only imagine the struggles that he went through. And your efforts, actually success. Full efforts to remain connected with the land of your ancestors and your heritage
Thankfully, a lot of my relatives'kids are out of the particular city in larger cities like Bangalore, Hyderabad, et cetera, so I'm pretty sure a lot of them will go through that cosmic change because suddenly the kids will aspire for greater things and parents will have to pivot, such as life. Thank you for listening to my story. I think we're all trying our best to maintain relationships and become better versions of each other. Speak soon. Thank you so much. Regards and take care
I think you brought out a very important point, that the roads take us to places that are sometimes explored or unexplored, and it's up to us to make the experiences count. It's a great comment there

Thank you for your kind words. And I wanted to say that I have to post this little picture because I've never been to Condor or Talisari. So I went on to see it and I saw that the road, I don't know which road is specific to that photo, but it says 66 on it
You, Deborah, spot on with the geography there, especially the Google map locations. My goodness, it felt like you read my mind. That's perfectly and exactly the national highway, Route 66, whatever you call that. And that's, I mean, probably that's pinpoint perfect. I think you have some very good Google searching skills. Amazing. Yes
