Isn’t India Wildly Overcrowded? Ryan Covington’s “Isn’t India ???” Series, Episode 2

Each week I’m addressing a different question, stereotype, or common misconception about India, and each week I always run out of time and can’t keep everything I want to include! 😆

So I want to say here that — as weird as it sounds — I personally found the crowdedness of India spectacular, sometimes even exhilarating.

It’s one of the things I came to India to see and experience, honestly.

Sometimes we travel to experience cultures and phenomenon that are wildly different than what we experience in our own daily lives, and the crowds of India definitely fall into this category!

In the bigger cities, the crowds are hypnotic and the overpopulation is woven into the very fabric of the city itself. The crowdedness permeates every aspect of life. It’s something you must see to believe, and something you have to experience to fully understand.

However.

Lol 😂

As fascinating as I found the undulating crowds, was I ready —- with every fiber of my being —- to get the hell out of the filthy, crowded cities and the relentless, maddening crowds and move on to the quiet, rolling hills and bucolic tea plantations of Kerala?

You bet your ass I was!! 😝🤣

Stay tuned!
