Cocktail Ride.!

A Journey from Delhi to Chennai (by train) is what I call ‘A Cocktail Ride’.

For a while, I found that there was a thin line between Weather and Climate!

From covering myself in FOUR layers of clothing (two jackets included) @ Delhi to wanting to emulate SALMAN KHAN @ Chennai........

From eternal coffee sipping to endless Ice cream licking!

Chilly Winter @ Delhi ; Heavy Downpour @ Nagpur; Hot Summer @ Chennai

From Thick Fog in AGRA to Thicker Smog in Chennai!

From Apples in Delhi to Oranges in Nagpur to Bananas down South (Fruits sold at stations)

Matha in Gwalior; Kheer-Puri in Jhansi ;Dal-Roti in Bhopal;Pulihora(Puliogare) in Vijayawada;Idli-Vadai in Chennai (The contrasts in the food I get to relish)

From Plains and Rivers ( North) to Plateaus and lakes(Central) to Hills and Seas(South) [The scenaries I got to see)

From Gods made of White marble to the Ones made of Black Stone!

Across Delhi,Rajasthan,UP,MP,Maharashtra,AP and Tamil Nadu

With a Delhiite who feels he buys cheaper and better quality fruits and grains than the place when they are grown! A Nagpuri who thinks only BJP can bring about the New World Order! A Hyderabadi who reads every paper that is printed in every language to find the state of his STATE! A Madrasi who believes more people are employed in Chennai than anywhere in the country (not even Delhi and Mumbai or Bangalore)!

After all that I had to endure...All I have left to say is ....

“IT HAPPENS ONLY IN INDIA”
