Back home after 40 days in India

Posted by Pramod on September 27, 2008

Wow, back home and back to blogging after 40 days… Really missed wordpress…

Well, frankly i am really glad to be back to my home sweet home and ready to live my Mauritian life… :P

Let me share some of my experiences in India.

Delhi:
A really nice place where you get everything at a reasonable price… However the sellers there recognize you as foreigners and sell at high price, mum and her sis had to do a lot of bargaining… She bought most of her sarees in Delhi itself… Went to visit some places like Akshardham which was really beautiful especially the Light and Sound at night. I was also able to travel in the Metro which was really cool.

Overall Delhi is a nice place but a lot of rush…

Chandigarh:
This one’s a really beautiful place with lots of place to visit namely the Rock Garden and the Sukhna Lake. The food was really good there.

Manali:
Well here i fell sick after eating Kachori, due to which i was not able to enjoy the place at all :( There were some beautiful places there. It was in the mountains and it was really cold.

Haridwar:
This was a place of worship and i was able to wash my sins in the River of the Ganges (Ganga Mayyaa) :P But we got to be careful of the priests there, in the name of prayers they take more than Rs.200 from you. This is what angered me the most.

Mussoorie:
That was another place in the mountains which was really beautiful and cold as well. But here fortunately i was not sick thus i was able to enjoy the place. :D

Agra:
The famous Taj Mahal as everyone knows. Nothing more to say about it. :)

Jaipur:
This was a place for buying Sarees and mum bought nice Sarees there. That’s the place where the Sarees are made by hand (Handlooms) and are quite expensive. We also visit a fort called the Amber Fort built by the Kings there and the King still lives in the palace at the back (We cannot go and meet the King personally :( we can only visit the Museum in front).

Jodhpur:
Here we met our relatives, they were really nice and we felt at home. Since it was in the Rajasthan near the desert it was so hot (around 38 degrees celcius) that we rarely went out during the day.

Mumbai:
This was one place i liked the most. It reminded me of port louis a bit where there are both places like Caudan Waterfront and the big big offices (much more bigger than in Mauritius of course) as well as a Big Bazar Port Louis :P

Return:
I was really glad to return home since i missed my country.

To conclude i can say that India is a nice country with everything and every resources, but the only thing is the size of the country and the huge population slows it’s progress yet we can see india progressing really fast in every field nowadays. Yet i prefer my Mauritius because of the climate and the beauty. At least i know that’s mine :) Am looking forward to go to India again and this time it will be on my own… ;)
