Summary

The journey through life came to a T-junction.
This is your invitation to pry into the diary, be the other tourist on the train, a voyeur at the accident, an eavesdropper on the argument. 

Two one-track minds merge with train-wreck results.
 
The girl Graham Field left in England is not the one who
arrives in India. Sofia sees the trip as her swansong before motherhood,
impatient to exchange backpack for a baby sling.
 
So begins the journey which is the: 
 
Indian Itinerary of Endurance

  A cold snap makes for a chilly reception in Delhi
  First-class aggravation in Agra, tension at the Taj Mahal
  Backtrack to the ghost city of Fatehpur Sikri, a brief respite from outstretched hands
  Non-stop to balmy Bombay and a runny bum
  Tunnel vision, reaching down a Goan sewer for the irretrievable
  Cross-country to Pondicherry, pondering decoupling
  Wrong side of the tracks in Madras
  Mind the gap year in Mahabalipuram
  Grave digging, scrotum flicking, a big bhang triggers a pointless train of
thought in Konark
  Striking differences in Calcutta
  Teased in Darjeeling, limited Himalayan view
  Letting off steam walking into Nepal
  Curfew and confrontation, the relationship reaches the end of the line in Kathmandu
Duration: about 14 hours (14:19:59)
