Looks like you have loads of boarder side stories. “If I were working in NSA, I would kidnap them and dump them into Guantanamo Bay” speaks volume of your frustration .

Basanta Ji,
We don’t have traveling culture in Nepal, perhaps new generation would get more opportunities with changing culture. One learns a lot with travel.
There are many places in India and Nepal I wished I had traveled to, but now being halfway across the world it’s even harder for me.

Keshuvko,

Thanks for correcting me for calling cops in Gorakhpur as Bihari’s
So my acquaintances were right, everyone seems to have problem there, this ain’t fair. The law enforcers are acting illegally to harass foreign citizens

And I’m glad to get out of there unscathed

If I were working in NSA, I would kidnap them and dump them into Guantanamo Bay.

It sure was good journey, and yes problems are similar in many places.

NNepali,
That’s literally what happened…that was real cultural shock

Rajesh,
Welcome to my blog and thanks for your comment. Fortunately, we didn’t have any problems with those cops. You are absolutely right about not reflecting our weaker side, and there were lot positives too. Perhaps I can do more justice to Gorakhpur in my next sequel. But, shocking stuffs tend to get more and immediate attention than good stuffs, so please don’t be offended if I miss few positives.

Beena,
Like I mentioned in my post, I rue taking pictures of those vehicles. I did not see 21 kids with school bag in Auto rickshaw but I did see a lot of people in every public vehicle, every one of those was overcrowded.
