Getting Personal with Salman Khan......
I Pack…
…in a hurry and casually. I'm not particular about what I take as long as I am comfortable. Even a few shirts and a pair of jeans are fine with me.
...my shorts. It is a must because I need to exercise every day.
...my dumbbells. I need to work-out daily. Without work-outs my day is incomplete. While abroad I make it a point to visit the gymnasium.
...my perfumes and glares. I just can't do without them.
...my luggage. It's taken in advance while I reach the airport just in time for my flight.
I Travel...
...to London off an on. It's a beautiful place to be in. The river Thames, Big Ben and the trams of the city fascinate me. Recently when I visited the city I travelled by tube and had a ball. It brought back memories of my childhood.
