My Pakistan India Border Travel Story ( Part I )

Pakistan India border trip is one of those places where no one dares to go – just because it’s always hot with fighting going on – and that’s exactly why I went.Pakistan India border is called the Radcliff line that was hurriedly demarcated by a Colonial British lawyer in five weeks, who had never visited India ever before. A journey to India is a hard journey. I have been on the other side of the world but never before I had felt so far away from home.

You will witness something that will change you forever and you will bring the best out of you to adapt to a culture that is really hard to understand and that will constantly challenge you with its mass of contradictions. Personally India challenged me in a very extreme way. While traveling through India I had some health issues. There were some moments where I thought I had something severe. Thanks to God, it wasn’t like that and now I can take medical examinations at home with no rush. Rush that they initially gave me in a weird English I couldn’t even properly understand. I hope people will not judge me with what i am writing right now.

 

Travel in India will indeed present challenges, and as with all adventures, it is normal to feel anxieties or fear about what you might encounter. As Malaysian, the culture and lifestyle in India is different, and so the frustrations felt are simply culture shock. Perhaps what is so beautiful about travel in India is that for every difficult experience, a good one will counter it, and when it does, you will feel empowered and strong.

They were intense moments. Moments when you start thinking carefully about life and what is really important. If people ask me again.. if i will visit India or not? It is definitely a yes for me! Upon leaving India, it was the positive memories that stuck with me, and it is those memories that have me yearning to go back.
