In less than two days, I will find myself in the middle of Delhi!
My purpose of this one-month long trip is to get to know a new country. A diverse place – a clash of ancient history and modern science.
It will be a meta-physical experience where I have to push away my own culture and dive into something new.
I am looking forward to learn and to write about India. The motherland of our European ancestors. The place of the oldest religious books, the Vedas, and the oldest holy language: Sanskrit.
Who is living there? How does it feel like? What is happening there today?
I am looking for interesting stories. How much has the British Empire and later on, globalization changed this country? How much spirituality could remain?
How does the second biggest nation after China cope with poverty, pollution and the lack of space? Where do they want to be in the future? Are they happy with their lives?
My mind is full of questions. My curiosity about the world is pushing away my fears of travelling. As usual, I am open and ready for my next adventure.
More soon.
I want to visit India some day too, so much history and culture. I hope you have fun and many experiences on your trip
Indeed! Thank you so much!

You are coming at a very good time. I think weather won’t be very harsh these days. I am currently in South India. What all places are you planning to visit btw?
Yeah, the weather should be nice.
I am planning to visit Delhi, Agra, Rishikesh and Jaypur. Maybe more.
Have been to all these places…
Will be reading your blog for your experiences.
