And I did this and I did that...


I traveled in trains, AC and General compartments...
I traveled in Buses
I was in a rickshaw, I was in a Jeep, I was in a gypsy, and I walked....


And for people who don't know, the above vehicle is referred to as Ganeshji because of its hood looking like the trunk which resembles Ganesha...


And I saw the world's highest Shivling, and the world's third largest Mosque... and rock paintings made about 12000 years ago...


And I went into a jungle and I saw animals... many :)

And I saw a gully cricket match :) ...



And last but not the least... I loved my trip !!!

And I think I did not mention this.. the coins in the first picture are arranged on the towns I have visited :) the one on the top (Gwalior) being just a reference point for where I entered the state from...
