Description:
The journey through life came to a T-junction. This is your invitation to pry into the diary, be the other tourist on the train, a voyeur at the accident, an eavesdropper on the argument. Two one-track minds merge with train-wreck results. The girl Graham Field left in England is not the one who arrives in India. Sofia sees the trip as her swansong before motherhood, impatient to exchange backpack for a baby sling. So begins the journey which is the: Indian Itinerary of Endurance A cold snap makes for a chilly reception in DelhiFirst-class aggravation in Agra, tension at the Taj MahalBacktrack to the ghost city of Fatehpur Sikri, a brief respite from outstretched handsNon-stop to balmy Bombay and a runny bumTunnel vision, reaching down a Goan sewer for the irretrievableCross-country to Pondicherry, pondering decouplingWrong side of the tracks in MadrasMind the gap year in MahabalipuramGrave digging, scrotum flicking, a big bhang triggers a pointless train of thought in KonarkStriking differences in CalcuttaTeased in Darjeeling, limited Himalayan viewLetting off steam walking into NepalCurfew and confrontation, the relationship reaches the end of the line in Kathmandu Duration - 14h 19m.
