A sweet little book about traveling to India's main railway junctions. We often pass them by without wondering about what lies beyond the station. So the writer travels to Itarsi, Jhansi, Mughalsarai and Shoranur among a few other places. The writing flows easy and the anecdotes are nice. The flavor of local food and dive bars come across very well. I personally want to travel to Shoranur to Nilambur now, as the train there passed through the ultra green teak plantation. While I have not particularly gone to many small towns in India, I have driven through many and could very well identify with what the writer said. I enjoyed the book thoroughly.
