Around the world in eighty days- Jules Verne

I bought a copy of this book from a book fair held in the school I worked for.

The title captured me to buy the book and in the current scenario of COVID 19 is it really possible to travel around the world in just eighty days? I don't think so.

Mr. Fogg had a bet with his club mates which led to the adventurous travel around the world.

There is a movie of Jackie Chan so the story and summary will be familiar and otherwise can be found from google.

Some things which came to my mind while and after reading

** Is it easy for someone to travel without any prior knowledge?
Of course, we do have many people who travel so much but they take the help of guides or Google Maps
Mr. Fogg traveled with determination alone

** He was optimistic all throughout his journey. He had a faith to reach back on time

**If there is a will there is a way

** Take challenges with a positive mind

** Ultimate winning is for the truth
