We all love to travel. There is nothing more amazing than getting the chance to explore somewhere new. With online sites, it has become extremely easy to book tickets and rooms but there is one thing that you still need to do on your own and that is–pack. It seems like the easiest job in the world but when you actually get down to it, fitting everything you need into one suitcase or carry-on seems like an impossible task. While you could always carry more than one bag, it is quite a hassle lugging multiple bags through the airport and finding a space to stash them away in your hotel room, which is why it is so much simpler to travel light. Here are some tips that will help you next time you travel –
Choose the Right Bag
We all love big suitcases on wheels but if you have a big suitcase, you will always be tempted to pack more stuff. In order to limit yourself, you should get a medium sized suitcase or bag that will let you carry all the stuff your need and refrain from packing anything other than the essential items. Also, do keep in mind that it is always a good idea to opt for a backpack instead of regular luggage if you are planning to visit multiple locations. You can easily walk while carrying it on your back and you can tuck it in any corner.

MUSINGS OF A SOLDIER: TIT-BITS
People often ask me about my life out of uniform. Honestly, I have had no problems. Not so far. Instead, I find it quite refreshing. No routine, no parades, no briefing, no impending operations. Having donned the uniform since the age of thirteen until I hung up my boots last year, could I ever visualize life out of uniform? Not really. But, as I said, the transition has been quite smooth–no hang-overs, no regrets. People have been very positive in their interactions. Government departments have been responsive whenever I have approached for assistance.The genuine respect for the uniform is quite evident and it makes my heart swell with pride. Arunachal, to that extent, is the most nationalistic state in the country, I daresay. It has been kind of a revelation for me to experience the freedom of being a common man in an environment of positivity!
