Best looking women You are right buddy! Women from Bengal are traditionally regarded as good looking. They are sultry, have great hair and lovely eyes. They possess tremendous grace and charm. Women in Punjab may be comapratively fair but lack this feminine grace. That's why the roles of heroines in Hindi movies(Bollywood) were traditionally dominated by Bengali women.
Best Looking Women No mate, the best looking women in India, by a country mile at that, are in Punjab, and specifically in Chandigarh. Sorry, but you're going to have to go back there now to find out for yourself!
Hills They are hills when you stand them next to the Himalayas!
There's no real border with Nepal up there hence the distincly Nepalese look to everyone
About the falls That ws dudhsagar falls in your picture. Jog falls is in another direction. I'm from Goa and live in Benaulim. -clinton +91 9860036828 klintvaz@gmail.com
Travelling I just meant that India is turning you into a traveller! Next thing you know you'll be quoting the Mahabharata and Ramayana, carrying your own bedroll with you and eating for <5Rs a day (with your hand) :)
Really glad you are loving it even if I go green everytime I read about your travels!
Howrah Is purportedly the busiest bridge in the world. Now you see why Calcutta was my favorite city in India!
Don't forget the sacrificial ghats in the morning... Kali is the patron diety so it's not the best place to be a goat...
Hey Toby -sounds like you're having an amazing time. Your autorickshaw experiences made me laugh, sounds like you got off lightly though - same thing happened to Jamie and I in Bangkok but we ended up paying something stupid like £5 for a little china elephant just to get out of the shop. Saw the same china elephant later the same day on a market stall for about 10p. Nasty little crooks...
No don't start having a good time in Kolkata, your miserable blogs are soooo much more funny to read in work!!!!
Glad you are having a good time though see you soon!
Coffee enjoying the saga over my early morning bun but I agree we need more photos - especially you with the necklace and the sarong just to prove I have two daughters and I son!
Train Thalis 3rd Class sleeper is the way to travel on the train!
Enjoy Hampi but be careful wandering off alone in the more remote parts. Don't miss the temple of Hanuman - it's worth an early morning climb to see the sunrise
Bah humbug Yeah must be a real bummer, beautiful empty beaches and sunshine... Jeez man, there's no sign of spring here and its the end of the tax year, think yourself lucky!
Pics, we need pics please!
Take care : )
Alright dude. Don't be such a Jessie! Travelling on your own is an excellent opporutnity to truly get to know yourself. Anyway, you'll be fine. When are you back? I'm about to buy an xbox 360 premium console, so we can have some xbox live action when you get back...
Cricket What was the cricket like? Well apart from the result, bloody brilliant. I've always wanted to see cricket in India and wondered if it was as good as the hype.
3rd Class sleeper is much better - loads of atmosphere and locals. AC is very isolationist!
Best get used to having nothing to do for large chunks of time on trains - read + enjoy the scenery
Maaaaan, I'm so jealous right now. You're certainly cramming in a load of stuff into a short time. Is there a book coming out, Back Passage To India maybe...?! Take care , bring me back a samosa.
