Read the passage given below and answer the QuestionNos. 126 to 130.

THE VALUE OF TRAVELSince earliest times man has been travelling from one

place to another. The thirst for adventure is the main reasonbehind this travel. Another reason is lust for knowledge or dis-covery or amusement. Whatever the reason, travelling has agreat educative value. Through travel, one gets first-handknowledge of men, their manners and culture. In this way,many doubts and misgivings are dispelled. One is astonishedto find so many common things among human beings despitethe vast diversity that must also be there. One learns new langauges and makes new friends. This adds to the spirit ofequality, secularism and universalism in the store-house of thehuman mind.

In early times, means of communication, travel and trans-portation were not so developed. People went on long pilgrim-ages and voyages. This furthered human inter-action, nodoubt, but the process was slow. A large chunk of humanityled a vegetable life in their somewhat self-reliant villages andsmall towns. But now the astonishingly fast means of traveland communication have made the world a very small place.Still, in this world of infinite variety where there is always“Gods plenty”, the value of travel can never diminish. In fact,the more the discovery of lands, seas and mountains besideshuman beings of innumerable ethnic and linguistic diversity,the more the curiosity to see and hear for onself.

The great historical discoveries have established Indians’forays into other countries as far as Italy and West Asia besidesSouth Asian countries, where ancient Indian coins and othersings of Indian culture have been found. The travels of theancient Greek hero, Ulysses, have been immortalized by theblind poet Homer. Marco Polo, Fahian, Huin Tsang, Ibn Batutaand other travellers are known to all students of history. Whocan forget the adventurous stories of Columbus and Vasco daGama? Now we have Tensing and Hillary the first to climb theMt Everest. Neil Amstrong was the first to travel to the moonin the rocket. Rakesh Sharma has been the first and so far theonly Indian to travel in space in a Russian rocket.

This keen desire for travel has greatly boosted tourism inmodern times. The wealthy and not-so-wealthy but curioustourists visit several countries of the world to see natural beauty, historical buildings and men and their manners. Theyare also a great source of foreign exchange to the countriesthey visit. They bring some impressions of their own countriesand carry impressions of the countries they visit to their ownlands.

Of course, everybody cannot travel to the moon. But manyof us, specifically those who are more adventurous, do travelround the world in a ship, plane or even on bike or on foot.Almost all of us try to visit different cities or countries if wecan afford it or if we get an opportunity. Why do we do so?Obviously, God has not made man a stay-at-home creature. Avegetable life is unnatural to man. So travelling is importantand natural to all of us. We all believe in the dictum: “Travellight” without the adjunct “...when you must”. After all, travel-ling replenishes our sagging spirits by saving us from the fatalroutine ennui and supplies us with fresh energy and determi-nation for the struggle of life.
