Making a local connection India

You know how essential travelling is for anyone in this world? To keep your teeth healthy, a dentist suggests to take routine oral cleanup once in ever six month. Similarly, I need to travel once in every six months. Duration of the trip doesnt matter, its just the location and the peaceful ambience that matters okay chuck about the ambience... Its all about the types of people. I come accross throughout the trip that matters. So i was on my way to Chennai one fine summer, i had boarded train from LTT that is Lokmanya Tilak Terminus, the train hardly had any stops due to which there were shortage of drinking water in the coach. And i was travelling alone and there was this last sip of water left and my destination was yet far and i couldn't find any water seller around there was this sweet gujrati family noticiting the uncomfortness on my face. One old aunty amongst their family came to me and asked me what the problem was not did she only asked me what was problem but she also provided me with bottle of water to which i was so grateful to that family till date whenever i think about that moment it brings tears of joy and emotions. So ideally this was just a incident i came accross which has moved my heart. So whenever i travel, these are the kind of experiences that i collect and then share it with my friends and family. Last Summer i'd gone to ajmer and jaipur with my cousins with it was a worst experience trust me one should always keep the weather in mind before choosing the place to visit. Our dare of visiting the hot place during summer took a toll on us in very bad way. 'Garmi me registan ka maza hi kuch aur hai' And recently i've recently been to goa its a wonderful experience now goa feels like more of mini honeymoon spot than a place where someone can actually go relax for a while a come back.
