Smoked for 25 years but now not smoked since 13th Jan. Am I now a non smoker, a smoker who doesn't smoke or an ex smoker? Do I have to even have a title, can I not just be a 'me'? Has not smoking made me crazy?, probably!

I love them all too!!! I stay in the city and cannot think of any other place to stay in as I work at the airport but then would love to stay in a smaller place with hills or mountains in view with some light and pollution free dark skies to see a lot of stars with my telescopes and also the jungles with wildlife to see and experience but then I don't know if it could be for too long!!! I have to return to the city for the daily rush hour traffic and jostling in the trains and air pollution without which I may die if I just keep breathing the mountain fresh air all the time!!! HAHAHA!!!

Cheers,
Aadil.

Question's too hard..but glad "I love them all" is one of the answers to choose from. :lol:

...can't wait to see the mountains, or the tea plantations of Assam, the tigers of Bengal, the ancient shrines of Krishna, Rama, Shiva, Durga, ....Konark sunrise, roses in Chandigarh, .....much to explore

Have voted "others" but probably I'm with: " I love them all".

When I'm thinking about a new trip to India, I have always in mind many cities "lost, hidden and forgotten" plenty of monuments. Is probably another point of view for travelling to India. But the best travel to India can mix hill stations, beaches, monuments, deserts and why not, lost, hidden and forgotten places.

All the best

Of course born in a place located on the sea side and lived all of my so far on the costal side, I hate beaches!

My favourite place is mountains, but that too only Himalayas and favourite place is Shimla, Shimla and Shimla. Had been there at least 15 times and always feel like going there again and again. Very charming and friendly people, chaotic and colourful bazaars, beautiful views have always fascinated me. :unsure:
