Travelling is one of my favorite way of wasting time! :)
One can see drastic changes in people's way of life while traveling in train from Chennai to Delhi.
I have also noticed it while traveling from Kanyakumari to Chennai. Though Kanyakumari and Chennai belong to the same state Tamil Nadu, the language Tamil is spoken very differently at all these places. It's really interesting to see the transition from place to place on the way.
History helps in understanding the evolution of lifestyles(words/slang) specific to a group/locality of people in Tamil Nadu. This is a fascinating research area. I would be interested in discussing with people who work in this area either as an amateur or by profession.
Being in Chennai for more than 3 years, I had the opportunity to visit places around.
Chennai has a number of lesser known places whose history is interesting.
May be the concerned authorities would take necessary steps to create awareness among general public about the historic places and preserve them for the next generation.

I m very poor in traveling and your closing remark (proverb) makes me to think that i should travel.
Looking forward to here your experiences in traveling and how did you use it for your research.
There is a great difference in being a traveller and a tourist!
