Hey Mark,
I heard you are planning to come to India. That is great news.
Be prepared to have a mind blowing trip. My country will enchant and cast a spell on you.

See it is not only me saying...Many other brainy people have praised my country.Some like Einstein are grateful to us Indians...Just see what he said...

Impressed...? After all, we are the land of the four Vedas, which contains the basic truths about
everything under the sun. We are indeed a very blessed lot, having thousands of deities, a variety of religions and hundreds of languages (the various dialects included).
I know you already think of Indian women as being Gorgeous... Pretty, Intelligent and Warm...
We are all that... But we are also much more... We are paragons of virtue. Our country also known as Bharat, has many historical and mythological females who may amaze you.

If you are interested, I
will tell you in detail about all these wonderful ladies while we travel around my charming country.
Expect some bumpy rides
though... Excuse us, we are a developing country. Pot- holes
keeps on developing on our roads.
Get ready to experience exotic
climates. Unlike the United Kingdom where you have quite an unpredictable
climate, we have a pretty well disciplined but varying climate all over. Take a
plane ride to any corner of the country; you will experience a different
climate compared to the place you just left.
We have the whole world
right here. Snowy mountains, magical deserts, misty hill stations, charming
backwaters, enchanting golden beaches….
You name it…we have it.
Now a peek into what I
think you should see in India.

Taj Mahal |
You should visit the Taj
Mahal… It is among the seven wonders of the world:
a symbol of Love. (Forget that the emperor Shahjahan build it in memory of his
4th wife, who died delivering his 14th child, as far as the legends
go. I told you... Indian women are paragons)
You should visit the
Ajanta and Ellora caves which have some magnificent paintings and sculptures.

Vivekananda rock in Kanyakumari |
I want you to visit
Kanyakumari, the meeting point of the three oceans, the Bay of Bengal, The
Arabian sea and the Indian Ocean. We will visit the Vivekananda Rock there, where you
can spend some glorious moments meditating in the serene chamber inside the Swami Vivekananda memorial. (Who knows…You too may attain enlightenment there)

Alleppey House boat |
We can next visit the Venice
of the East, Alleppey. The cruise along the labyrinthine backwaters abroad a houseboat
is going to be a magical experience that will give you memories that will last
forever.
Then if we get time, we
will visit all the places that you find interesting from any tourist guide book. O.k?
I know Mark that your
visit is not just to explore my land. May be you are coming with Aman.
I hope you understand
that Indian men have the habit of giving up on their lady love quite easily.
They fail to understand that Indian women are in chains everywhere. They don't listen to their cries for help. I doubt
Aman is one among them. Shruti is definitely one of us.
We Indian women are
taught about the pitfalls of young love from a very young age. A rape victim is
victimized in our land while the rapists roam free without much ado. I know it
happens all around the world, but in our land it is legendary.
In my country we
(ladies) give up very easily on love and end up in marriages of convenience
arranged by our parents and tragically forget all about love.
We need strong men who
will stand up for us, who will fight for us and will convince us to live our
lives for what it is worth. Not end up pining for a lost love or a lost honor.
Tell Aman that many
Indian females do fall in love with one guy and marry someone else.To understand why, he needs to know what goes on deep inside our hearts. Alas, God didn’t give
anyone the ability to read another’s mind. Half our problems would be solved if we
could speak out what we hide in the depths of our heart.
Coming from the land of
birth of a thousand sonnets on love, I believe you are coming here with a
mission of love. Teach Aman to listen to his heart. Indian men rarely do.
I wish you the very best
on your mission.
See you soon…
Warm regards,
Preethi Venugopal
