A Tour Experience In India

So this story is basically about how a foreigner's life changed after an Indian tour.

John took a life-changing trip to India a few years ago. India is a hive of activity, a flurry of vibrant colors, wandering cows, crowded trains, elaborate palaces, ancient temples, and sweet-smelling incense. It's literally packed to the brim with people, chatting and chanting and sitting on top of you as you fight for space on an overcrowded train. Your only options are 1. Go with the flow and get to know strangers or 2. Get irritated and become upset. 

The thing that made a remarkable impression on him, was there how nearly everyone he met went for option 1.

Some people in India will spoon you on a bus if you fall asleep next to them, roll down their windows to talk to you in a traffic jam, stare unblinkingly at your foreign face, help you if you're lost, insist on getting in their family pictures at historical sites, and invite you in for tea. It's a thoughtful gesture. And this jogged John's memory of something important he had forgotten.

He believed that by taking a bus through India during wedding season, he could learn pretty much everything there was to know about spirituality and life.

When John purchased an express bus ticket from Agra to Delhi. During his ride, he converses with people and learns about their cultures. When John arrives in Delhi, he shares what he has learned on his journey.

Here is what India taught John about:-

1. Make connections, talk to strangers.

2. Expect, and enjoy the unexpected.

3. Time spent enjoying yourself is never time wasted.

4. Share your space

5. Love yourself.

6. Join the party.
