An intriguing and entertaining vignette of some of my travels around India (of which there have been 28 researching and fact finding trips during the past thirty years). This is a talk which will suit those who have already thought India to be an interesting place to see, but may just be a little apprehensive. The audience discovers how India is a land of many cultures, heritages, languages and religions but we also learn about the good heart of the Indians. We see how a friendly face and smile acknowledges that you are seen not as a stranger but simply someone who looks interesting to talk with.
There are amusing anecdotes throughout, from the arduous task of just purchasing a train ticket to stories which have demonstrated the kindness of a stranger. We learn of, the superstitious side to a nation and gain an insight into how much India has changed since 1990 with the progression of technology. This is a heartwarming talk which displays a nation of people who are ready to embrace other cultures and religions (for example 2% of people living in India are Christians and yet 100% of its people celebrate Christmas together as one)... This is a talk which goes far beyond a travel brochure, it sets the right expectations in anyone's mind who needs to feel that they have experienced India for themselves!
