NEVER BEEN TO INDIA - where OM meets OMG?
😁
"Traffic lanes are suggestions, not rules."
Bonus points if your rickshaw driver answers a phone call, honks, and overtakes a truck—all at the same time.
"Your stomach will experience spiritual awakening."
Some call it Delhi Belly, others call it a rite of passage. Pro tip: Carry TP and Imodium like holy relics.
"You’ll be stared at. A lot."
You’re not being rude—they’re just curious. Smile back. You might end up in a family photo you never agreed to.
"Cows > cars."
Yes, the cow has the right of way. No, you may not argue.
"Yes, that sadhu is checking his phone."
Modern mystics are a vibe. He might give you a blessing and ask for your Insta.
"Spicy means spicy."
When they say "mild," they mean "mild... by Indian standards." If your lips go numb, congratulations—you've leveled up.
"Negotiating is an art."
First price is the opening scene. Channel your inner Bollywood actor and bargain like your train ticket depends on it (because sometimes it does).
"You don’t find trains in India. They find you."
If you manage to board the correct train, with your seat, bag, and sanity intact—you are now a local.
"Crossing the street is a team sport."
Find a group, make eye contact with oncoming traffic, whisper a prayer, and walk with purpose.
"Everything is late, but somehow always on time."
Trains, buses, weddings, your chai—just relax. Time is a incredibly flexible concept here.
"You will become a tea drinker."
Chai is not optional. It's a way of life. Whether you’re on a rooftop in Rishikesh or a beach shack in Goa, accept every cup like liquid enlightenment.
"The head wobble is real." It’s not a no. It’s not a yes. It’s not unsure. It’s Indian magic. Smile, nod, and move on.
"You don’t eat food. You experience it."
With your hands. And 12 side dishes. And probably a curious aunt asking if you want more... while serving it to you anyway.
"You’ll never be lonely."
Someone will always be nearby: a chaiwala, a monkey, a curious uncle, or a child selling marigold bracelets.
"Expect to hear 4 languages before breakfast."
Konkani, Hindi, Russian, and someone chanting ‘Om Namah Shivaya’ in a Scottish accent.
"You will return home with stories, not souvenirs."
Also potentially with thirty new WhatsApp contacts, and a lifelong craving for masala dosa.
"And yes, it’s loud."
But so is laughter. So is life. Welcome to India. 😄
