Dilip, I love travelling, I will be off in the last week of December again, yippee! I have seen very few other places in the world, four to be precise and that too because of attending conferences. Once we pay off the house loan (some 20 years later) we think of going to Russia :)

I am kind of getting settled in my academic job but if I could do it, I would definitely try coming up with a travel magazine.

I did my Ph.D. from IITK so I am an IITK P.G., which is different than being IITK U.G. And I have spent more years than I should have at the campus completing that Ph.D.

Dilip like the author of that thread, we had that debate on emails too, so I know the method by now. Still, no harm in having a good debate out in public. Thanks a lot for your words on the issue.

Mridula,

I am a travel bug as I see you are, and I have done backpacking type stuff in various parts of the globe -- but like you, I'm yearning for a good budget Indian travel magazine. I do travel a lot around India, and by now have a good idea of how to do it and how to look for where to stay and so forth, but a good magazine would be a great help.

What about checking to see what it takes to start one?

Are you from IITK yourself? Spent a week over Diwali there this year, my bro-in-law teaches CS there. We always love going.

I also wanted to say, when you argue with guys like someone you have been arguing with of late, they will promptly resort to stock phrases like "straw man" and "non-sequitur" and "evasion" and "caricature". As you have found out. It's because they have no answers, and are not interested in debate.

I understand this sentiment and in the U.S. many publications are geared towards luxury travel, which leaves ordinary people with the impression that only the rich can afford to travel. One magazine that I LOVE is Budget Travel! They appeal to independent travelors and those of us that love exploring the world but on a budget. The website has great information too!

I thought once, if the reference is to my own blog but could not figure out with the A! Hmm, thanks a lot for all your comments and interaction.

I do know of a good India travel message board India Mike though that covers many aspects.

Prakash, thanks a lot for your second comment but now what is TTFA? Or do you want me to spend all that time again that you took in finding it. Please, please, give me a link.

Mridula : It was was my first visit to this blog ( via desipundit) . after spending some time to find what TTFA ( sucha longggg name..:D)is all about, i understand, FE traveller doesnt fall in the category. It's mainly for business travellers, giving tips hotel discounts, airfares, cock & mocktails. I dont know of any other magazine.

I think teri refers to 'THIS' blog, TTFA

2005-12-08T11:00:00.000+05:30

Prakash, on second thoughts, FE Business Traveller is again full of stories about Jetsetting corporate employees and living The Porsche Life!

I most certainly do not fall in any of the above categories but I love to travel and I am looking for a humble budget travel magazine.
