Arriving in Pune

Posted By Nikunj Lukka on 05 Jan 2006
It's been a week since I landed here and it's been pretty eventful, so just so you feel as though you are not missing out on the experience I will share all with you. First stop was Mumbai last Sunday night/Monday morning. I was leaving the airport when I made my first mistake, to go with the wrong taxi driver. There was supposed to be someone waiting for me with a placard that had my name on it, but I couldn't see it and so being confused and tired (like normal really I hear you say) I went with this driver who says 'You go to Pune no?' After going about 30 meters with him it dawned on me that I am going to a hotel first and so I made a quick u-turn.

Clubbing in Pune

Posted By Nikunj Lukka on 04 Jan 2006
Hello all, how's it hanging? or in typical Leicester speak wagwan? I went to my first nightclub in Pune on Friday, it was this up-market place that was in the basement of a 4 or 5 star hotel! The club was ok but it was all Hindi dance music and some of the dancing in the clubs is the strangest thing I have seen. But everyone smokes in the clubs, i think it is more of an image thing then anything but everywhere u look people are just lighting up! But the club wasn't a patch on revos, in fact made me miss revs even more! I went to the main shopping area of Pune on Saturday, and it was so cheap there, things are dirt cheap here.

Himachal and Amritsar

Posted By Nikunj Lukka on 03 Jan 2006
After finishing the safari, I headed back to Delhi for a couple of days before starting my trip to Himachal and Amritsar. I did the Himachal trip with another gapper, called James. The first thing I did in Delhi was a sightseeing tour of the city. We saw all the Parliament buildings, the international embassies, India gate, the Qutab -i- Minar, Jama Masjid, the Raj Ghat - the memorial to Mahatma Gandhi. The next day we left Delhi on an overnight train to Kalka, en - route to Shimla.

Bangalore

Posted By Nikunj Lukka on 02 Jan 2006
I am currently staying in a flat-share type accommodation, sharing with other Indian university students. It is very much like student digs or something, but really cool. On my first night in Bangalore, I went to see a student play, supposedly an adaptation of a Greek tragedy, and it definitely was a tragedy so to some extent they didn't do that bad! After that we also went to a rock bar, where I was expecting bearded men in leather biker's outfits, like an American rock bar, but instead it was a fairly civilised middle class crowd just rocking along to Black Sabbath! In that sense India never fails to surprise.
