RE: Surviving a bus crash in India!
Great account! I love India (2 and a half years there), but never travelled on the buses, always the trains. Oh, except for one hair-raising bus ride up to Dharamsala. Good to know I wasn't missing out. Although it must have been scary your account made me laugh - I can just imagine the journey. And you're not kidding about rickshaw rides on wet highways, your description of the white knuckles brought it all back. Will follow to read more!
Thanks for reading! Next up is a story about a day spent on a Bollywood set with Salman Khan. Digging deep for this one, since it was 6 months ago and I haven't written about it on Facebook or anything so I've got nothing to refer to, but part 1 should be up tomorrow.
I only spent 6 weeks in India. It was fun, but difficult. Mumbai was definitely my favourite of the big cities. After India I went to Pakistan which was really, seriously life-changing. So I've got plenty of great stories to come!
I think living and working in India is very different from travelling continuously - I would generally head out of Delhi for the weekend on sleeper trains for the most part. Explored a lot of north India that way. But having a stable base to go back to makes a huge difference.
I'm a closet Bollywood movie fan, so looking forward to getting the behind the scenes story :) Plus hearing about what sounds like an amazing time in Pakistan.
Have you seen Tiger Zinda Hai? That's the movie. I haven't seen it yet so I'm not sure if my scenes made the cut.
I haven't no, but having looked it up it actually looks quite good. Not your typical Bollywood. Will have to try to catch it.
