Glamor in retrospect
I feel fortunate to have traveled widely, with motivations including hiking, backpacking, business or simply tourism. Besides Georgia, where I live, I have been in several states of continental America. Among them are Florida, South Carolina, Ohio, Virginia, Tennessee, West Virginia, North Carolina, Michigan, New Mexico, Pennsylvania and New York, besides the Canadian city of Toronto. My travel experiences have been, in a single word, exhiliarating. Travel has refreshed my general outlook and empowered me by exposing me to many diverse cultures, some good scholarship and several splendid natural phenomena. Here are some assorted pictures with friends and family taken during my travels.

PAWLEY'S ISLAND, SOUTH CAROLINA: Enjoying a fine spring morning at the beach with my beautiful cousins Anjani (12) and Keerthana (9).


KENNESAW, GEORGIA: Allatoona Lake, tranquil, scenic, and best of all, only two miles from my home. Spread over more than 12000 acres with a shoreline of some 270 miles, Allatoona is one of suburban Atlanta's favorite weekend destinations. One of my proudest swimming achievements was on May 25, 2004, when I swam across Allatoona Lake on the south side (Acworth Beach to Cobb Regional Park), a distance of about 2 miles, in just over 45 minutes.

GREAT SMOKY MOUNTAIN NATIONAL PARK, TENNESSEE: With friends (from far right) Karan Shah, Ajay Yadav and Srinidhi Chandrasekharan at Abrams Falls, on the eastern edge of the Smoky Mountains. We had just finished half of a rather strenuous hike of 10.4 miles, and didn't mind the cold water at all! Ajay and Srinidhi are Ph.D. students in industrial engineering at Ohio State University, while Karan graduated in that subject with an M.S. in Spring 2004.

BRASSTOWN BALD, GEORGIA: Breathing the crisp air of the north Georgia mountains are senior colleague Dr. Chuck Aust and I. We are on a Saturday trip to Brasstown Bald, at 4784 feet Georgia's tallest mountain. From this parking lot, we hiked the half-mile to the peak, which is marked by the fire tower visible in the background. The view from the peak was exhiliarating!
