It’s always a tendency that Indians to appreciate what they don’t have but never value what they do have with them. In India the grass is always greener on the other side.
This attitude especially comes to fore when it comes to travel. How many times have you gone on and on praising a foreign country you just visited but never talked about an Indian holiday. For some reason we all think that natural beauty can only be experienced in Europe, Australia or abroad. As for places in India, they can’t be that stunning, You’re absolutely wrong!
