15. Because at a hostel in Udaipur, Rajasthan, I got a travel companion for my whole life.

14. Because you can find beauty during the most unexpected moments of life, like during Tosh trekking, Himachal Pradesh when I was completely lost and exhausted.

13. Because while we spent few hours in Ranthambore National Park, Rajasthan just to get a glimpse of a tiger in its natural habitat, when everybody’s eyeballs were stuck only at the nearby water body including myself, I learned that sometimes feeling insignificant is important too.

11. Because when I saw naturally formed limestone caves in Meghalaya, I was totally awestruck by the splendor of our amazing planet.
