Toll Free Traveller



Toll Free Traveller

“Their bicycles caused no little astonishment on the way, and the remarks passed by the natives were almost amusing. At some of the villages the boys clustered round the machines, and where they could, caught hold of them and ran behind until they were tired out. Many enquiries were made as to the name of ‘them queer horses,’ some called them ‘whirligigs’, ‘menageries’ and ‘valparaisons’. Between Wolver Hampton and Birmingham, attempts were made to upset the riders by throwing stones.”


            Above is the newspaper report about three riders who set off from Liverpool to London, a journey of three days and so more resemblant to modern motor cycle touring on March 1869. The passion for motorcycle touring around the world started in the late 19th century. More than a century now, motorcycle riders have grown in large numbers all around the world and India is no exception.


The passion for touring and riding bikes among youth in India is at an increasing pace. This passion for touring has taken different forms with help of technology and internet. To be very specific YouTube has become an unavoidable app for such travel maniacs. People, who travel, capture videos of their trip and upload it in their individual channels on YouTube. The more interesting your content about travel, the more subscribers to your channel and more money you could make out of your passion.


            So this is a new formula to make money out of your passion! You may find many vlogs in YouTube about travelling, but I would like to share about one of the best vlog and the vloger.


            Toll Free Traveller/ Rohith is a successful rider based in Chennai. As he describes himself, he was a corporate lawyer in Mumbai and now started chasing his long term dream to see and experience the world with his motorcycle.


Toll Free Traveller


     With 77.1K subscribers and 106 videos at present he acquaints us to the world through his camera lens which is dinkum to the real world. Rohith is mostly seen with a medium stubble beard, a riding jacket along with a black sun glass in his vlogs. His good vocal clarity with the channel’s tagline travel, wander, explore which pops up on the vlog prepares us to a very calm and adventurous travelling experience. The vlog is hardly ten to fifteen minutes, but Rohith guarantees the viewers and lays down every possible feat he experiences in a ride.


            He doles out information about the place of ride, the adventurous route which he has chosen, goods to carry while on touring, mechanisms of his bike and so on.


            Watching his videos one could perceive being a pillion rider on his bike. He orates in a manner as a typical boy next door who accustoms about the journey. We could probably attach ourselves with him by watching few videos of his.


            Each ride is adventurous not only for him, but also for the viewers. He also takes us to many rider manias, introduces his fellow riders and his travel companions.


When I started watching his vlogs I was so much enticed to his Royal Enfield Thunderbird. The way he mounts his luggage at the back of his bike and the view that comes out from his Go pro is just blissful. The channel also has separate playlist that educates the viewers about riding gears, bike tools and accessories.


            An important thing that most viewers consider is the length of the vlogs. Toll free traveller’s vlog match the viewer’s expectation. You will not regret the time spent on the channel.


            Early this year Rohith started using a drone in his vlogs, which has made the view beyond imagination. One of my favorite playlist of his is India to Nepal - #tour of 2 kingdoms.


            "Toll Free traveler" substantiates the youth that we could make our passion as profession. There is no doubt that Toll free traveler is an inspiration to the young riders in India.

“He is simply a rider’s delight!”

TFT Rohith ! The sole reason why I got into biking and travelling. His way of narration, his sense of cinematography, and the way of presentation can convince anyone to get into travelling.

“Imaginable Immortality”

Image
Immortality described as unending existence which has been proclaimed to be attained through mentally, spiritually or physically. Though the belief system of immortality has been quite common and familiar across the horizontal and vertical dimension of geographical territory and human historical timescale, there is no proof or material evidence available yet. Despite these counter arguments prevailing in the rational society, I would try my level best to convince my fellow readers about “Imaginable (Possible) Immortality” in the real world through this article.  Immortality as described above may sound more of spiritual, but in reality immortality as an end can be reached through the means, of spiritual as well as scientific. Personally, I would prefer to approach eternal through spiritual means but due to societal pressure where spirituality is attached to religion and also described as “Non-Sense”, I better start with science. YES, I BECOME RATIONAL NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good sleep for a fine day.

Image
‘Sleep is the best form of meditation’, but this is not realized by many of us. Some are night-loving and also seem proud to say that ‘I’m a night owl’. Indeed it is unusual. If there is any importance to sleep in our life then half of our psychological problems and trauma, what we are undergoing can be reduced. What is sleep? When we go with the definition, sleep is nothing but the state of mind and body in which the nervous system is inactive, the eyes are closed, our muscles are relaxed and our consciousness practically suspended. To be simple sleep is a condition in which our soul, mind and body need temporary rest. Insomnia The person who is regularly unable to sleep is called as an insomniac . The condition of insomnia is prevalent mostly in the age group of twenty and thirty for the reasons which could be prevented. Insomnia which occurs in older age groups are more fatal and need an expert to heal. In the first case, people tend to lose their sleep be

The Novel C O R O N A

  -  ZAKIR HUSSAIN.P "As humans, we like to think we're in charge of our corner of the universe.   But now and then a microscopic entity reminds us that we are not."              -Neil DeGrasse Tyson A novel virus refers to a virus not seen before. It can be a virus that is isolated from its natural reservoir or isolated as the result of spread to an animal or human host where the virus had not been identified before. Due to such characters, the Coronavirus causing COVID-19 disease has made the entire human population vulnerable. Governments across the world have blocked their entire borders and have set up quarantine facilities. The novel coronavirus on the date has caused more than 15,000 deaths all over the world. There is also a steady increase in positive cases each day. The elderly, children and poor are more prone to the virus than anybody else. India is no exception and the country has already recorded more than 500 positive cases so far wi

The Mystery of Pride

Image
Human beings are amazing creatures on earth, because of the influential nature that humans posses, we tend to impact and bring change in nature. The change sometimes is positive or negative. Billions now are threatened from a deadly disease called COVID 19 caused by a virus named ‘Corona’ and still we could control the situation following various ways like social distancing, lockdown, wearing mask etc. We feel proud of ourselves for the scientific development the human has attained so far and soon hope science to produce a vaccine for this deadly disease. We are proud of this nature of humans and with pride , we hope for the best in the coming months. What is pride? According to the Oxford dictionary, “Pride a feeling of pleasure or satisfaction that you get when you or people who are connected with you have done something well or own something that other people admire”. Overall what pride gives us is a feeling of pleasure. Pride is also a belief that one is superior to

THE "ARRIBADA"

Image
image credit @Ashika One can never imagine the secrets hidden by nature underwater. Deep-sea divers, marine experts are few among the luckiest to unravel the ascetic value of the oceans to us. The oceans of the world sustain millions of species from tiny algae to the largest mammal ‘the blue whale’. One such species which is found in the tropical regions of the oceans has its presence over 100 million years! Believed to live more than fifty years, it swims across the ocean thousands of miles with its four flipper legs and bears a protective shield (top shell) called carapace all along in its entire journey. They have olive coloured body parts and thus named as ‘The Olive Ridley’ turtles. Olive Ridley turtles are the second smallest next to the Kemp Ridley’s and the most abundant of all sea turtles found in the world. The females are larger than males. They prey on jellyfish, crustaceans and snails. The olive ridley is listed as vulnerable under the International Union for C

The happiness when you own a thing !

image credit  Mridhu.B.R We at present are living in a globalized world, just call it a global village. Here our tastes and preferences are not ours anymore, it is controlled by external factors that surround us. We are influenced in a wider range by various entities which choose things for us and we get very little chance to choose the right product based on our needs. Consider a girl who plans to buy a lipstick (be it any other cosmetic products that she uses). Why does she need it?  she may have various reasons to buy a lipstick like a perception that she might look good in it, want it since most woman use lipsticks, saw that in an advertisement so she responds to get it, saw a movie and was inspired from her favourite actress who looks great on lipstick so decides to get one for her, or maybe she thinks that the society has fixed using lipstick as an ideal yardstick of looking beautiful. The above are the possibilities that she would buy the lipstick. Now the case is

Manual scavenging – the worst surviving symbol of untouchability

Image
“No modern country in the world forces human being to enter sewers to clean. Why then does India use manual scavenging? It is because we have caste which has for ages been forced to do it for minimal pay”                                                                                                                                                                               --  Dilip Mondal (poet and activist) We regard many professions with high dignity. Some of them are    Civil Servants,  Doctors, Lawyers, Engineers and so on. We all embrace such profession as they possess a very high position in the society. Have you ever thought of people who in spite of doing their job lose their dignity in our very own country?   ‘Manual scavengers’ you may have noted this word in newspaper articles, which would have said “A municipal cleaner lost his life due to asphyxiation entering a pit hole while cleaning the sewers”. What prompts a person to do this job which has no

My Suicidal Note

Hi to all, I refer myself as Prince lonely toad . My father used to call me Mr.Toad and my mother named me as Little prince frogger. We are a wanderer and I belong to a large family with 12 siblings. I am the youngest kiddo of all. My family often worries about my future because of my physical dissimilarities with other members.

Now, I am giving up my hope of living. Yes, this is my suicide note and I am about to quit. In general suicide note will punish the accused listed in it, but like a frog (As a relief measure to all my fellow readers, I am just a frog but not a human being), I am so powerless to punish those accused.

An odd day in the evens

Image
It was a day of strike in Kerala, yeah it happens often here. It was a one day strike by some political party. So I planned to ride along with my friend. We started early around four in the morning so that we can cross the Kerala border by six before the strike starts. And yes we did it. It was a ride from Perinthalmanna in Malappuram district of Kerala to the queen of hills 'Ooty' in The Nilgiris district of Tamil Nadu. We reached Gudallur around seven. Our first halt was the Eucalyptus forests in the Gudallur to Ooty main road. All of a sudden you enter into the Eucalypts forest. The aroma of Eucalyptus and those tall red trees all around make you feel like you are somewhere in dreamland. This place is where you begin sensing the Nilgiris as you start heading to Ooty. It was early in the morning with no traffic on the road and the scarce mist all around made us stop there for a while enjoying the breeze which carries the fragrance of Eucalyptus. Later we moved ahead to

Shades of being Chapter 3

Image
The fault in our Stars (2014) film is memorable for many reasons. But in a scene when Augustus says that he fears about Oblivion, I felt myself in his place. As far as I can remember I am a dreamer of legacies. I always wanted to have an indelible print of my own being in this universe, eternally. When we grow, we accumulate the consciousness from winnings and losses and successes and failures. That consciousness will take us from the dreams into a situation of reality. The successes make us excited to achieve the legacies of own where generations are going to remember us, celebrate us. Then the fear of Oblivion comes from every failure we face in our ambitious path. I have my fair share of both sides of the spectrum. I had to choose a path which will, in turn, give me an eternal place in this overcrowded multi-complex world. The choices were business, community service or even becoming a celebrity of a kind. I have tried all of them. When you are in a full of energy witho
