    I am from Switzerland. Came to India and was lost in the translation. The culture is immersed and so vibrant in there. Got a chance to visit Somnath and Varanasi, took a deep dive into Ganges. Such a purifying journey. Loved India to the core and its ancient, deep rooted culture , colours and kind people.

It was part of culture in India, banana, banyan, jackfruit , sal, dhak ,bauhinia leaves etc… were used to make pattal(leaf utensils) but the globalisation happens and plastic and styrofoam utensils captures market as they are promoted as more “civilised” option as compared to utensils made out of leaf (they were shamed for being primitive…or so was the intention of marketing non-biodegradable utensils) and they were almost out of the market except for small towns/cities… but as peoples are trying to be more “green” they are being promoted as some sort of novelty😂.

    As an American, the ending of this really made it for me. The "melting pot" culture becomes toxic, and seeing you embrace the historic and religious significance of other cultures makes me realize how big the world is, and how small my mindset can sometimes be. Especially with the slip at the end. Bravery takes courage, but humility takes pride. You and your team had every opportunity to dismiss your injury and fake your reputation, instead you chose to be honest and show modesty. Mad props, you give me so much respect for other culture.

      It's worth adding, that the other foods were fantastic and I saw the wierdest shop in an otherwise derelict building. No facade, the building looked derelict (but it was on a busy urban shopping street and I mean Delhi busy), tucked inside the building was a cake stand, so I had to check it out I have never seen a more immaculate set up in any shop anywhere the stand was immaculate and the shop assistant were dressed in pristine catering uniforms, the cakes themselves were not to be believed, they were fabulous, huge creamy things with amazing sponge.

    you are so blessed that you took a dip in holy ganga. Believe me, I visited Varanasi 2021 Aug for the first time, all I see is mess and untidy streets but here is the twist, I came to do last rites for my dad who passed away 2021 april, the moment priest made me do achamanam, (drink the ganga water - that time so much of ganga water got receded and there were motors every where pulling the water from the river and cleaning the ghats filled with big heaps of mud, I drank that water) thats where I came into reality, I started liking varanasi more than anything, everything you see is matter and the time I boarded flight back to bangalore, till date I wanted to visit Varanasi again and again and again, infact just feel like live my rest of life there on the shores of ganga. I get tears while I type this, as I am reliving my last year visit. Aum Namah Shivaay......

    I love your show! In the last month, I’ve watched practically everything on both channels. I love traveling, I love food. I really enjoyed watching Anthony Bourdain and Andrew Zimmern, but this show is “no. 1” in my opinion. It is true that I would not eat everything myself, but I would probably eat about 90%. Because I was interested in where your love of food and travel comes from, I googled you. I found out you were born on the same day as me hehehe. Keep it up, I’ll be happy to watch all the shows. Maybe we will meet somewhere and try something unique together.
