'Ta Ra was on a long journey, O earth! Where did Charan stop and stand? Walking on the steps, he came to his house, stood in front of himself! After all, this journey was a happy journey! Some faces got to love quietly! And the identification of your own line, revelation in all the mouths is the result of this love journey. Where are you coming from? Finally against me! I went out to understand you, and I come and stand in front of a tear of love! - It would be better if the ego melted a little. I went out to understand you, one day on a big journey of knowledge, and at the end of my love journey, I finally came home and stood up! What did you have to understand? I wish I could understand a little bit. '

This is a poem by Natwarlal Pandya 'Ushanas' describing the results of life. The word 'travel' seems to run at the speed of a 'bullet train' as soon as the word 'travel' is heard. Going to the nearest place or place thousands of miles away, the first thing you need before going on a trip is a suitcase.

The father of this suitcase is the trunk. In the famous novel 'Around the World in Eighty Days' written by Jules Verne in 18 AD, when Phyllis Fogg decides to go on a world tour in 90 days, he says,' We should not take a trunk. We will have only a carpet bag with us, in which we will keep only two pairs of shirts and two pairs of stockings. ' Jules Verne writes about a time when the present-day suitcase was not even born.

Instead, heavy-duty trunks of aluminum or wood were used. The waterproof trunk covered with canvas was considered the best. If the unprotected trunk of the canvas was taken out in the rain, there would be a good chance that all the clothes inside would be washed away by the water. The trunk, made by Louis Vuitton of France, was considered the best. Its popularity remained the same until the 19th century. This is why Louis Vuitton was also known as the Trunk Master.

With the onset of the 19th century, the means of transportation increased, and so did the locks to learn about other countries and cultures around the world. Due to which the amount of travel among the people started increasing. During this same period a suitcase weighing much less than a trunk was born.

The suitcase was named after the suitcase. Is. In 1911, 80 percent of the United States catalogs in North America contained suitcases. Farmers engaged in farming away from home during the Great Depression were known as 'suitcase farmers'. However, there was a stark difference between the suitcase of that time and the present.

Nowadays, a suitcase has a wheel and can be easily carried from one place to another without lifting loads. This wheelchair suitcase was born in 190. Credit for which goes to Bernard Shadow of America. Bernard Shadow, who is involved in the luggage industry, was returning from a vacation with his family. While they were in the line of customs, their eyes fell on some loaders, which were being carried by a heavy-duty machine wheeled vehicle.

At the same time he came up with the idea that if such a wheel was placed under the suitcase, people would be relieved to lift it. Bernard Shadow went straight from the airport to his workshop and saw the wheel under the suitcase and was successful on the first attempt. He named this suitcase with wheels 'rolling luggage'. However, the ease with which this rolling luggage was invented made it twice as difficult to register a patent and sell it. Bernard Shadow Wheel Luggage

When he went to sell, he was ridiculed for his product and said, 'No one will buy wheeled luggage like this. 'This was a time when most women did not travel alone and only the man with them would carry the luggage.

Which is why there was no interest in a suitcase with wheels. Eventually, the vice president of a department store named Macy liked the idea, and in October 190, the first wheeled suitcase was sold. The patent for the suitcase with this wheel was registered in 19.

This was followed by constant changes in the suitcase and luggage industry. Now the trend of smart suitcases is on the rise. Features like USB port, GPS. There are also some suitcases that carry a lot of luggage but do not carry any weight. A laptop table at the top of the suitcase can also be used, so there is no problem working from the airport-railway station. It also has the facility to charge the phone. Now the trend of backpacks that can be hung over the shoulder instead of a suitcase has increased.

In between was the season of writing autobiographies in Gujarati literature. Something came out of the bundle. Now is the fashion of travel descriptions. Travelogue is an innocent part of the autobiography or say the 'stunt' part of the autobiography. I + manipulation + reader loyalty = Gujarati travel description can sit at such a table. Someone talks to Neil Gagan the following.

Some are doing guided tours in the ravines and caves, some are taking Algari patrols - carrying paper, pencils. There is a lot of fun in overseas travel descriptions. The reader is left stunned. Even English pronunciations are not spoken correctly, French pronunciations are written about why they are true and there is a danger of increasing our knowledge. There is a lot to see abroad.

If this fashion continues a little more, it is likely that we will become more knowledgeable about foreign countries than foreigners. Maybe if we also have to go abroad because of the good deeds done by our forefathers, we will be pleasantly surprised where the foreign country that we had read about was lost. But whatever it is, if the trip happened, it must be described. This travel writing is fun when the writer gets bored even by writing stories, plays, giving lectures.
