A ticket to go back BOOKED!

India amazed me - totally & ultimately! It was a huge surprise in general [although it possibly could've been a bigger one] but I guess it's just one of those countries... The thing is I've heard so much about it before I went there that I kind of gained my own image of people, places & events in my head. It was amazing discovering what was as imagined & what not quite so - as you can imagine, some were & some weren't... There's so many memories when I think of it now, so I'll try to make this page something like memoirs of mine - to remember this awesome journey... :)

It's been quite a long time already since I got back & I'm already planning to take off once again, but I still haven't finished all the pages that I intended to. The tickets are booked, the money's being saved & I'm working hard on creating all the wished pages before I return to Mother India again... ;)

Your post office in Pahar Ganj is absolutely amazing and I have not seen anything of the kind, even in villages in the Sahara desert !
