Me!
Laxman insisted to have an ice-cream at Mc Donald's, so we went there... If my dad knew that I was going to such places in India... ;D
Let's go to Mumbai again ;)
I was traveling with Pallavi from Jamshedpur to Mumbai beginning of October and we met this guy, Ankit, at Kolkata station. Our flights were in the evening so we had lunch and went shopping together in some malls. Very nice :)
When I came back from Mumbai, we were in the same train once again, even in the same coach, unfortunately we discovered that 5 minutes before reaching Jamshedpur :(

XLRI Jamshedpur
I thought I'd never arrived at XLRI. I took the train from Mumbai: 31 hours in a train!!!!!!!!!
The journey itself was not that painful, but the end was tough.. After siting and lying down during 30 hours, I took all my bag and prepared to get down because somebody told me we would arrive 10 minutes later... I suddenly felt very bad and hot, and fainted. I really fell on the ground, which never happened to me, with all my bags! If I had fell on the other side I would have fallen out of the train... Scary nah??
But people in the train were really awesome, they took care of me and found a nice auto-driver :)
French food!
When you travel far away from home, you realize that very little things can make you happy and that it is often linked to food :D (Other people told me that, don't think I'm the only person obsessed with food here :P )
That time I had found Laughing Cow Cheese! It is industrial cheese, but it is still amazing!!!!! Mmmmmmmmmmh!!!!
If Cote d'Or dark chocolate was also available, I would stay here ;D
Goodbye Anne-Laure!
For Anne-Laure's last day in India, we decided to dress as locals ;) Mrs Singh helped her to wear a saree and I just wore a salwar kameez, but a very pretty one ;)
I went to the station dressed like that to pick Laxman up and he easily recognized me... First time out wearing Indian clothes ^^
Going to the market with Mrs Singh
Quite impressed after this session at the market. Mrs Singh knows exactly what she wants, how much she wants and people obey her right away and prepare anything she asks!
Colaba, Mumbai
1000 people queuing for the bus... I never thought people would be able to queue nicely like that :D
At the Singh's
Playing Rummikub with Fateh, Hardeep and Anne-Laure! We were staying at their place at that time. Her mom cooked amazing food for us (and usually she cooked too much, after 5 days there I was afraid to have gained 5 kgs ;D )!

Mini Taj Mahal, Aurangabad
Don't think it is The Taj Mahal, it is only a small copy of it ;)
You can see it in Aurangabad, Aurangzeb's city (he was one of Shah Jahan's sons)!

Train to Mumbai
Train was completely full! And many people were squatting our coaches! And they were not even nice or smiling. They laughed at us in Hindi, nice :( Fortunately we were 4, so we could share our impressions ;)
Around 9 pm an Indian guy sleeping on the lower couch arrived and told to all the others to go away because he wanted to sleep, so thanks to him we finally got our coaches back ;)
Buying bangles in Badami
We'll never forget the salesman's mother. She was soooooo domineering and irritating! She tried to rip off our arms by brutally having us try her bangles! As I was completely burnt by the sun, this was even more painful.
For her everything was always "Very nice" and she kept repeating this until we agreed "Yes, very nice!". The next step was "Packing, packing!!". If we had let her do, she would have packed the entire shop :D
As I'm the only one who didn't buy anything and who told her firmly "Bas. Mujhe pasand nahee hai", I guess she secretly cursed me after we left ;)
Impatient children, Badami
Those 2 kids followed-guided us in the mountains and didn't like the breaks we took. "Continue? Continue?", "Now, now?".. Abhi nahee! ;)
Well, we never asked them to wait for us, so they could have left if they were unhappy :P
Ok, it might seem a lil mean of me to say that, but seriously, sometimes you just wish that people stop following you everywhere. Especially when you know why they follow you ^^ Anyways.....
Swimming Nandi ;) Badami
Between 10 and 20 people followed us during this tramp! It was a lil weird at first but we got used to it ;)
