What I love about being a Local Guide: I am a story teller and for that reason I like travel because I believe travel makes a man perfect story-teller. Travel also gives me chance to meet new people all over the world; I like to meet new people because nobody wants to be lonely.
For that reason I love about being a Google Local guide because the program gives me chance to share my passion for travelling with the other Google Local Guides all over the world. This powerful tool also gives me chance to know the best things of other places where I have not been to but in future I would like to go.
4. I love to share : As an amateur photographer I love to share my memorable and awesome experiences through photos. 5 .My favorite thing to explore: Best Places in terms of photography, places to eat best authentic local cuisines, fisherman’s village of a costal line, souvenirs shops, everything! But I really like to explore local parks. Robin Sharma is my close friend who works in a MNC as a CEO in Kolkata, India. Robin lives a life in a fast lane, he travels widely and frequently in abroad. He works hard and parties hard. One day he calls me and tells me over the phone that he has been suffering from mental stress, high blood pressure and other problem. He went to a specialist doctor who advised him to go for “Forest Bathing” and to go morning walk regularly so Robin wanted to know to me about jogger’s parks in Kolkata. Robin knew that I was a Google local guide so he enquired me regarding jogger’s parks in Kolkata which had natural surroundings.**What is “Forest Bathing”?**Forest bathing is to go into the forest for stress reduction and to connect quietly and gently with nature.**How walking in nature prevents ‘Depression’?**A study conducted by the researchers at the “University of Michigan” finds that natural & wild environments boost well-being by reducing obsessive and negative thoughts. Another study conducted by the University of Alabama found that “spending 20 minutes in a park could make people happier regardless of whether they are engaging in exercise or not during the visit.”
This is why I love to review eco-friendly parks. Walking in natural surrounding park in the morning is just like the spa for your soul.

6. Fun fact about me: I am a very much tea lover, I try to sip at least one cup of tea wherever I go. Last year (2018) when I was returning from Agra, U.P. by Ananya Express(Train), the train was stopped at Patna junction station for some time, that time I left the train and ran all-over the Patna platform to find a tea seller for a cup of tea.
