DAY 1

This time I was hell bent to make at least one part of the journey in train. It’s been ages since I traveled in train. Indian railways running across the country in a way is a miniature India on the wheels. Different classes of people irrespective of caste, creed, religion etc travel together and offer a great opportunity to study human behavior.

So I decided to board the train to Kozhikode (erstwhile Calicut) from Bangalore railway station. The AC two tier one way ticket cost me 886 INR.

India

By giving my hand to help you to step into an alien land steeped in traditions , culture and heritage. I have been to almost throughout India and her famous must-see tourist places. However I love more to go to offbeat destinations and solitary places that common travel guide book dont talk about. So from the big cities to its less known retreats , from star rated accomodations to homestays located in the middle of nowhere, from the gourmet food to the popular street food.. if you need my help , please feel free to contact me. I can share my experiences that I have gained. I can show you what I see and make you feel a different India , one that is far from the text books. And yeah, if you are in town I am sure I would like to meet you over a cup of coffee or cook some quick Indian or Bengali dishes for you to give you a culinary taste of India
