19, 191 KMs in 130 hours

June 2010 witnessed my Indian marathon wef 23rd June morning from Bangalore to 28th June, covering about 19,191 kms on Indian territory by plane, train, bus, cab, motorbike, Bolero etc. And in this i all covered Patna, Bhagalpur, Kanpur and New Delhi. Great journeys need great inspirations and for me to attend the wedding of Avimeha was like a wild goose chase and was immensely satisfied in the end after seeing them married (after having many years of committed status). The wedding was arranged in a beautiful was and i was very touched to feel the family like behavior of maternal uncles, Nanaji, brother of Aviral and brothers of Meha. And in the end the "Bhagalpuri Chadar" was much appreciated by my mummy and grandmother. May the couple live their entire life in eternal bliss.

I have heard many times from my friends from Bihar that most of the people in Bihar don't follow railway norms and i was quite horrified to see that in reality. When i was returning with Barat from Bhagalpur in 3rd AC, it was horrendous to see the great mob in that compartment. I can not expect this thing even in UP, no need to bring the case of much 'civilized' parts of the country. Overall the journey was quite good and i never felt cheated while traveling through the length and breadth of Bihar.
