some advice if you come to India...

It seems to be quite impossible to choose only one experience in India.
The best experiences I have ever had in this amazing country are those related to meet and get to know people who are completely different than me.
Having conversations with my colleagues regarding to love, marriage, life, travels, family, money, politics…those are moments I will never forget in my life.
Beside that I suggest...
Must do:
·  Attend a wedding in Rajasthan and feel like if you were in a fairy tale.
·  Visit the Taj Mahal in Agra and understand what the power of love can do.
·  Take a walk around Old Delhi streets.
·  Experience the feeling of being a real foreigner while saying yes to all the local people who want a picture with you while walking through Mumbai streets.
·  Travel by train to Tamil Nadu’s Hill Stations (I suggest Ooty, Connor and Kodaikanal)
·  Feel the spirit of “a little bit of France” in Pondicherry and have nice coffee in “Le Café”
·  Pray in any small temple while coming back home from office.
·  Stay at least one hour inside Meenakshi Temple in Madurai. Feel the power of God Shiva in your heart.
·  Eat Puri, Idly or Masala Dosa for breakfast.
·  Feel the emotion of going to the movies and shout like everybody else when the protagonist of the movie comes to scene.
·  Cry while eating spicy food.
·  Go for a nice steak and enjoy the beach in Mahabalipuram
·  Wear a nice and stylish Saree for any special occasion.
·  Tip for girls: buy some colorful Kurtis and leggings to go to office (they will save your life) and buy at least 2 pairs of Bata ballerinas (all the rest of the fancy shoes you brought from home will be spoiled, trust me)
·  Buy beautiful handmade carpets in Jaipur
·  Have dinner at your best Indian friend’s house in Bangalore (as I did)
·  Be completely delighted about Indian sweets. Eat as much as you can! :)
·  Visit Golconda Fort in Hyderabad.
·  Watch the most beautiful sunrise in Kanyakumari, the most austral city in India.
India gave me some of the best times I have ever had and I will be always grateful for that!

I am very happy and willing to have much more nice experiences in the next months!
