If I am in India at the same time then I will give you a whirlwind tour of the place. Too many wonderful spots to see...in any case let me put together a list of the best places to visit and I will put you on to a friend of mine who will be your guide in my absence.

Probably because of the way the media projects the culture and poverty etc. Most Indian cities are a lot more cosmopolitan than american cities.
Maybe you are permanently scarred by the "Indiana Jones : Temple of Doom" nonsense

I have been to several of the "best" Indian restaurants outside of India and none of them taste ANYTHING like native Indian food.
Prepare for mouthwatering Tandoori Chicken and flavorful Biryani's, rotis etc.
Oh boy...if you like food you are in for a treat...
Chaat snacks in the evening...kingfisher beer in the night...
I dont think you will return. Buy land by the sea, build a house and settle down
I can also point you in the right direction if you have any real-estate needs.
Find a nice Indian girl and get married. I am going to marry an Indian...not because of the familiarity and comfort...but because I think dusky women are waaaay more exotic than pale women AND Indian women (if you find the right one) are amazing partners.

Dont target cities. Chennai, Mumbai, Kolkata, Delhi, Bangalore etc. are the business centres of India...not too much to see. To really see India for what it was you need to hit the less travelled paths.
Let me know what interests you:
* Tiger Safari
* National Parks
* Temples (modern and ancient beyond your imagination)
* Architectural marvels
* Textiles
* Food
* Scenery
* Art and Crafts (small scale artisan businesses...)
While you are there you can also specify your audio "furniture" and have it hand made out of wood/stone/metal of your choice...

Anyway, is India like Indiana? I like Indiana. Maybe I should try India too. Bombay or Calcutta? |
