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.

The happiness when you own a thing !

Image
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

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

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. Yes, I am a differently-abled spirit with one functional leg and an eye. I never thought that life would be so difficult until that day. The day and the events pushed me to take this extreme step. 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. Besides these all, I wrote this letter to feel u all guilt and make my death reasonable to all vulnerable powerless section. Causes of death and accused are listed in t

Shades of being chapter 4 on Love

Image
Recommended by a science fiction voyager, I had the chance to watch the movie titled “Coherence” (2013). A low budget highly intelligent content and execution which deserves a couple of hours of our time. To be frank, I could not get grip on the science angle the movie uses to execute its story. But the human emotions it touches make us think another dimension of love. The movie indirectly questions the concept of love: “whether we love the object as we perceive or the person as s(he) is? We, humans but curious, generally are fond of the matters which make us comfortable and ‘isms’ behind the heavenly imaginations. Apart from those curiosities, the need of emotions coming out of ‘wanting to be accepted’ or ‘wanting to be right’ lead us to seek the “Love”. To me, love became an archived boring institution strengthened by a relentless number of stories from books, movies and our pessimistic views about humans. The concepts of eternal love or divine love are clandestinely used to create e

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

Diet: The double edged sword

SARS-Corona virus diseased and deceased numbers have reached more than 82,000 across the globe. Discussing about pathogen, carrier or mode of transmission, Symptoms, treatment, precaution and control measures has been extensively analyzed in almost all media. Despite it, some information regarding mode of transformation and treatment are seems ambiguous. Health care professional’s claim virus was initially transmitted from under cooked meat. Similarly, few have been treated with symptomatic treatment and cured successfully due to well receptive immune system. In both these scenario, the importance of diet in physical well being is highlighted. On the similar note, Our Honorable front line workers, Prime Minister, Chief ministers of respective state government, Union and state ministries, secretaries and importantly most of the people functions responsibly towards containment of disease and prevents loss of lives.

Shades of being Chapter 2

Amelie (Movie: Amelie 2001) have her own world. The world of dreams spattered with million colours. I too have my own. The world of my own. My own being without borders. That’s where I travel on a breeze; feel as light as thousand coloured feathers. The intrigues of our being can get true with our dreams.  A day in a dream: A warm morning. I feel the sunshine smiles on my face through gaps of a large glass window and his legs on my thighs. The sunshine and his body are an eternity of warmness in combination. This feel like the whole universe is spinning for us, only for us. It makes us believe that the earth itself threads a pattern of togetherness, on a daily basis, without a nanosecond pause. That cuddle, ever wanted one, on the bed. My eyes open the day with his subtle smile, that smile is more than a morning wishes, it sometimes tells everything we felt for years in seconds. Following that smile, in an automated move, his lips, the most sophisticated part the ‘God’

'Positivity is all what we need'

Image
                                Image credit @Ashika                      My short insight on  positive attitude  I have seen many people struggle to step forward in their life. People do not suffer since they run out of money or they pertain to a particular caste or religion. Lack of positivism is the sole reason behind almost all sufferings. We take care of our body with physical exercise so as, mental health must also be trained to gain positive attitude. This positivity has helped me support my family and friends in different ways. When you are positive you keep your surrounding in the same manner. You attract positive things more and persons with such positive attitude get attracted to you. Everybody tend to follow a certain religion, we may name it differently but the ultimate thing which gives us deep insight on what we do is the universe. I am a firm believer of this notion. This insight has made me positive all these years and I feel happy and complete.

Are you aware of Dust bins?

Image
When I watch people daily who are engulfed in their busy schedule I feel pity. They are so busy going to their workplace, schools and colleges with lots of work to be done on most part of the day. In this busy schedule is it possible to ask whether she/he is aware of dust bins. No I am not joking. I’m damn serious. If at all I prove successful in asking this question that will only be with a result of a blow on my nose as a reward. Is a dustbin so important to us in this busy world? I can hear you! The horrible thing in our country is the fate of the dustbins. We people tend to use things for which they are meant for. Sometimes use for which they’re not meant also. We even use the same thing for multiple works to be done. Perhaps could you imagine a thing which has its presence and often unused (I don’t mean your brain). Yeah unused, haven’t you seen trashes thrown everywhere except the exact place for which it is meant for? Ok, I think I have prompted most of you about th

Lights, Camera, Action !

Food, clothing and shelter are basic needs of a human to survive on earth. When these three important human needs are once satisfied we are fulfilled for an extent and urge for something that will make our lives enthusiastic. There are different things that make our life enthusiastic, some of them are sports, music, dance, songs, movies, painting etc. We have made entertainment as a part and parcel of our daily lives. It is true that with entertainment in regular interval, helps us to boost activities in our daily life and resists boredom in regular life. The entertainment is not common for all, people select their mode of entertainment based on their interests and even based on money in hand. One such entertainment that is most common for all of us is watching movies. This entertainment is common for all, it does not differentiate based on age group, gender, religion, caste, creed or how rich and a poor one is. Movies are made for different categories of people all around the year b
