Abstract
Gravitationally bound objects in the universe have been a main target of astronomers for long. However, some objects in the universe may want to be free, as we do. Recently we are witnessing the existence of some globular clusters wandering in the nearby universe. The nature and origin of these wandering globular clusters are not yet known. With the advent of giant telescopes they will be an excellent tool for various fields of research including first stars, star clusters, galaxies, and galaxy clusters.
