Yes wild brooks that you can hear in a distance but you can’t see beyond the dense foliage, but the sound is inviting. So you park your car, follow the sound and once you have gone down a few meters in the bushes, you discover a small brook coming out of rocks [Continue Reading By Clicking Here…]

A Railway Station Called Warora

A Random Railway Station: Warora I don’t think I have said it enough time that I love traveling by trains, it is by train travel one gets to see the Middle India or the real India.
