India

Born here; grown up here; Its my country!

India is a strange country. Depends on what you are here for and what you want to see in this country. You need to define your takeaway from here. Its not one of those countries which will appeal to everyone moment you exit the aircraft. Certainly not.

India is a growing country; today as i write I heard a statement in one advertisement on TV, ‘India is always under construction’. That exactly sums it up.

Seventh largest country of the world; Cradle of civilization; blessed with abundant natural wonders from the mighty Himalayas to pristine beaches of Andaman and Lakshwadeep; colorful lands of Kutch and Varanasi, a colonial past with a strong British stamp, some of the global cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore; India is waiting to be explored.

READY TO EXPLORE?

India is a beautiful and diverse country blessed with abundant natural beauty and history.

Browse through this blog to check out some interesting write-ups and candid pictures from my various trips across my country.
