    India looks chaotic from outside but the more you dig inside the more gems you will discover…the only thing we need to work on is stop throwing rubbish on roads…the garbage in the beach made me sad…we are definitely working on it…behavioural change of habits which are been practiced since decades takes time but I see a new India in next 20 years….people are becoming conscious nowadays…

    Loving this series , you are showing us parts of the country we’d never normally get to see , I don’t know if it’s just me but you both seem more relaxed/chilled out in your little rickshaw than you do driving around the UK , or is it the fact that you obviously love India. It’s like you’ve lived there all your lives , you should be travel guides. Thank you for sharing this with us.

I was slimmer, more relaxed and looked more vibrant on my India trip. Now I'm travelling in the uk and I'm certainly not that way anymore hahahaha. 😀 Iv swapped places with Liam and Janine.

      What excites me is the fact that they are touring it all. I keep asking if they have any idea how long they wlll be staying in India 🇮🇳, no response but am still waiting to hear . As they approach Andra and Uttrah Pradesh , is so interesting , because their are people living in Forests the Government is unaware of. They tend to be the Bandera Gypsies there (unsure of spelling ) they are very dark and bang drums 🪘 and tambourines etc. They live deep in the forest. As you go through India you notice how the Gypsies (origin to Essau/Edomites transmigrated via Egypt to India etc especially, due to the Trade Routes.). Yet they have assimilated and are diverse. eg in Gudjerat there are many Jats of smaller proportions, whereas the Lamani Gypsies are extremely tall and slender , they live in the Mountains ⛰. Wearing expensive gold coins as Jewellery. The Kumbis don’t wear clothes and live on an island they are protected. As you venture nearer to Kashmir there are Cobra Gypsies and are snake charmers etc. At this time of year Indians come from throughout India to Goa to trade . Many areas have their own specialist Trades. Such as sewing, furniture and lamps etc hand engraved. Copper and brass to make eg Singing bowls. Spices etc etc it’s endless but it’s Particularist. I think India 🇮🇳 is one of the most interesting Countries. Whether they live near the sea as Sea Gypsies or whatever.

    Thank you for your video. That was really interesting. I hope their message spreads across the world. If I ever go to India, Auroville will definitely be on my list! On a different note, have you heard of Kinging It? Kinging It are a welsh couple Craig and Aimee who have travelled from north to south India in an automated rickshaw. It might be worth checking out their videos for future places to visit and some travelling advice. Take care and thanks again.

    Amazing to see you driving around in a rickshaw - you brave people ! I’ve always wanted to do that but knew it was a bit mad...so I’m going to Iive the adventure vicariously through you ! Gratitude!!
    I love India, had been going back every year since living in Pondy and Auroville in the 90s. Then Covid hit, so haven’t been back for Too Long ! You had me in tears seeing Auroville again.
    Wishing you a fabulous journey. I can recommend stopping off in Amoor near Trichy to stay with SEVAI who have some amazing rural projects they’ll be happy to share with you. Love those people.
    Looking forward to seeing you get to Kunyakumari, it’s a very special place.
    All the best and many thanks !🙏🏽✨

    Wow guys, namaste! Thank you so much for sharing this video; also from the UK, however of Indian roots and heritage, I have travelled all over India and only just back myself from a cousin's wedding out there. I was researching about Auroville in general and happen to come across your video, lol; what a great, brief overview of your stay and very much appreciated indeed, as am looking to move out to India eventually altogether, so, video's like this one, are truly inspiring. Impressed with your purchase of a rickshaw too - well done! Namaste, love & light!
