If you’ve ever been mesmerized by a destination that’s just brimming with life and culture, compelling you to just click picture after picture of every little detail that captures its essence & energy, then you are sure travelling within India & its unending labyrinth.

The 5^th largest economy in the world, an ocean of over 1.4 billion where most people slog, sweat every day to make both ends meet. With 65% of its population below the age of 35, India is exceedingly aspirational. It is one country that prides itself for having Asia’s top two richest people in its list, who also figure in the global top 20 wealthiest people. Remarkably the only time & place when super-rich & the ultra poor converge is when they go out to vote at a common polling booth; or when a BMW or a Mercedes locks horns with an E-rickshaw or a bullock cart on the road. India is a s soft power that has more techies, engineers, doctors & skilled professionals than any other country in the world; We are also a nation where you can see a poor man’s hut clinging precariously to a 7 star ultra-modern bungalow & both cheering loudly for our cricket team in their nests. India, where the streets, sights & smells can be overpowering to the gut, where people shout & honk at each other to either press home their point or seek a way out of traffic. A crazy lot, where trees are worshipped & cows cajoled out of the way; Where there are only 2 crore taxpayers in a population of 1.4 billion people; where 1% own country’s 40% wealth); Where a baby is born every second; where tea is an all-time drink & jugaad an antidote to overcome any difficulty. BUT the smile on every Indian’s face, regardless, is a pointer that India is a civilizational star that has weathered many a storm & embraced Life as it came.
