India Travel Guide: 27,724 reviews and 75,591 photos

I always have dreamed to visit India sometimes, so I did now.
It is a place of wonders, where you can find civilization and underdevelopment, highness and poverty, art and music.
It embraces nature, friendly people and multi-religious atmosphere.

Variety of Values...

The Indian sub-continent embraces more than 200 languages, different religions and various traditions.
India is the country of 1000,000,000 population.
Usually an India speaks three languages at least. Popular languages are Hindi, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Rajasthani, English.

my trip...

covered four states;
-Karnataka; capital is Bangalore, and Mysore.
-Uttar Paradesh; visit Agra,
-Delhi; capital is New Delhi,
-Maharashtra; capital is Mumbai.


well, I'm a big fan of the Hindi music, the rhythm of such melodies just take me away, and let me go in a happy mood.

Favorite songs;
- Rab Kare,
- Dil Teri Deewangi Mein
- Punjabi wedding, from Bride and Prejudice
- Dola Dola--ibid.
- Laal Dupatta

Books:
- India Untouched: The Forgotten Face of Rural Poverty by Abraham George
- Gitanjali by Rabindranath Tagore, Nobel Laureate in literature.

Films:
- Bride and Prejudice--starring: Aishwarya Rai, Martin Henderson
- Devdas--starring: Shah Rukh Khan, Madhuri Dixit, Aishwarya Rai
- City of Joy--starring: Shabana Azmi, Charu Bala Chokshi

    We only stayed overnight in New Delhi on our way to Nepal/Tibet a couple years ago. We promised ourselves to return to India one day...there's a lot to see. Nice job.
