After a lousy mundane life for about 4-5 months in state i was so very much looking forward to this trip to India. Though i hate attending weddings, the purpose of this trip was attending two weddings of my really close n dear ones. 12 days in mumbai passed by like a hectic weekend doing all the wedding preps n chores. Then flew across 900 miles to north - Delhi. Like the humidity n heat of Mumbai was not enough, went to experience the scorching heat in north. My Bharat Darshan was not limited to north india - had to fly down 1300 miles to south - Bangalore from Delhi. Hardly did i know then, that i will be traveling while suffering from food poisoning.
Reached Bangalore to my disbelief in a better state than what i had expected. It was a great reunion with my mates from university. Ahh the weather was a such a relief as compared to Mumbai and Delhi... It was nice n pleasant out here.. A week in Bangalore dragged on lil longer than i would have imagined. Travelled across 350 kms to Mangalore from here by train. Though I have spend 4 lovely years of my life in this town and should not be new to the weather, it was nearly impossible to take the humidity and heat of Manglaore once again. Had two awesome days here at friends wedding... After which flew back some 600-700 miles back to Mumbai.
Just a week more in India and I was suppose to fly back to states. For the first time felt like extending the holidays lil longer than planned. No but did not change the plans and tried to wind up the chores that I was suppose to before leaving from India.
These 5 weeks were like 5 days to me.
I know for all the Indians residing abroad, India trip is always hectic n no matter how well you plan, u end up having less time catching up with family n friends. Wish could have another holiday to India which is much more relaxed and peaceful and get to spend all the time with my mom.
