Travel space :: A Traveller - Much to explore in this world

Years passed by, its been a lot of traveling, exploring various places in Hindustan. Its all the same courtesy, love, affection, admiration shown by the people in various places but in a different way.. the way which they learnt by living in those surroundings. Lush greens, huge mountain ranges, amazing water falls, deep valleys, awesome back waters, sand beaches, rock patches, beautiful rivers, deep lakes, thick forests, ancient forts, tombs, monuments etc., are some of the lovely places to visit in India. Its a complete travel package for tourists like me -:).

Always its been my excitement which makes me travel. Indian railways made my dreams come true most of the times. As said by someone, a true Traveler is the one who doesn't plan his way back. I believe that it is true since, the moment you plan your way back, you think of the scheduled departure of your train/flight/any other transport. You should never think of how to get back to your place, which will save your time rather than thinking how to reach your sweet home again. I think I was successful enough in exploring the exciting destinations in India, most of the credit goes to the above mentioned saying.

Let me share various experiences I came across in India. In South Indian people mainly term you as "anna"(big bro), "thambi"(smaller one) and women as "madam" neverthless they dont term them as "akka"(sister) -;). Rest of India, they mainly term you as "saab", "bhayya", "SirJee" You find rice as main intake in South India &Orissa. Roti sabzi is main intake in rest of India. Sambar especially in Tamilnadu, food cooked with coconut oil in Kerela.. etc. Coming to various lingos used by people, except for Tamilnadu, everywhere you can speak in Hindi English. In TN, even people know and understand Hindi, it would be difficult for you to get someone who responds to you. We cant blame them as that is how they were brought up. Most of the destinations in South India are Pilgrim centres and they do draw the attention of many people around the world. Hill stations reside in Eastern Ghats and Western Ghats. The exciting part of travelling is when you actually board toy trains in Hill stations such as Ooty, Shimla, Matheran etc,. Most of my traveling was in Maharashtra and Andhra Pradesh, me being from Hyderabad and currently working in Pune. You can see similar courtesy from the people in both these places, languages being different.
