I never realized traveling and media could intersect to form a profession until Mr. Umesh Pant came to our college and gave a well-structured and interactive workshop on Travelogues, igniting my peers’ curiosity. He answered all the questions from our curious minds gently. He shared the vast knowledge of travel writing from pre-travel research to post-travel research, which opened a whole new world to us, the media students. I am grateful for newfound inspiration and understanding he has instilled in me and my peers.
