I am Nomadic Baban, a travel blogger based in Kolkata, the cultural capital of India. This is a platform where I share my adventures from around the world, as well as travel tips, photos( absolutely raw and without any editing), videos and much more.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>From the very days of my adulthood, I was swayed by the passion for travelling the world but this inherent temptation found a meaningful expression in my mid-twenties. As an ardent fan of Shah Rukh Khan(SRK), the megastar of India, I was deeply motivated by his words: There should be a clinical correlation between one\u2019s passion and profession, though it happens rarely.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">In real parlance, it often happens that one who wants to be a cricketer ends up being a doctor or otherwise. Profession without passion is tantamount to clinging on to physical existence amidst psychological death. My story is also no exception. However, I have managed to pursue my passion for travelling partly at the least, if not totally.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n<style>\/*! elementor - v3.15.0 - 20-08-2023 *\/<br \/>.elementor-column .elementor-spacer-inner{height:var(--spacer-size)}.e-con{--container-widget-width:100%}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer{width:var(--container-widget-width,var(--spacer-size));--align-self:var(--container-widget-align-self,initial);--flex-shrink:0}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container,.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container>.elementor-spacer,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container>.elementor-spacer{height:100%}.e-con-inner>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container>.elementor-spacer>.elementor-spacer-inner,.e-con>.elementor-widget-spacer>.elementor-widget-container>.elementor-spacer>.elementor-spacer-inner{height:var(--container-widget-height,var(--spacer-size))}<\/style>\n<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1750\" style=\"width: 1090px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1750\" class=\"wp-image-1750 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/thetravellingbirds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/FB_IMG_1706999205544.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1088\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thetravellingbirds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/FB_IMG_1706999205544.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/thetravellingbirds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/FB_IMG_1706999205544-298x300.jpg 298w, https:\/\/thetravellingbirds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/FB_IMG_1706999205544-1016x1024.jpg 1016w, https:\/\/thetravellingbirds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/FB_IMG_1706999205544-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/thetravellingbirds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/FB_IMG_1706999205544-768x774.jpg 768w, https:\/\/thetravellingbirds.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/FB_IMG_1706999205544-585x589.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-1750\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Enroute Vasudhara Falls | Uttarakhand | India<\/p><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I have decided to write and share my experiences for threefold objectives, viz.
