Our fearless and dedicated driver, Sanjay, took us on a whirlwind tour of India in a 2 cylinder car which had a knack for stalling when the A/C was cranked on. His caste is that of Rajput- which is a warrior caste- but his subcaste is of a singing one. His grandfather was the last [...]
India has passed by so quickly - each day was filled with sightseeing, history lessons, & adventures in driving. 13 Days may seem too short for some to explore this country - and some may scream that it is too long but for all of our ups & downs, Jay and I still agree with [...]
