Bollywood is the Indian film industry, based in Bombay (now Mumbai) that annually churns out thousands films that are passionate, involving and affecting millions of Indians. Indian cinemas are located in almost every town and always full of noisy kids who spend the few rupees (about 10) to enjoy those three-four hour flight from realtà.I Bollywood movies are sort of musical background to love in general topic of light (in fact their purpose is always to entertain and pacify the public), in which a series of songs, dances, pesaggi breathtaking, love stories). Done in particular is that in all the Bollywood movie never happens to see a kiss or a scene a little more thrust between two protagonisti.La 'india (and his films) is always very careful not to bump the sensitivity religious and conservative with a big slice of the public, as demonstrated by a recent dust originated from a kiss on stage: http://www.bollywoodworld.com/
In India should do some careful what you drink, remember that you are still in a tropical country and that public water systems do not deliver pure water as Lugano.In all trips that I made and I never say never drunk a single drop of tap water: some say that would be indicated even brush their teeth with mineral water! I have always washed them in running water and nothing happened, I never, even if still I've always been careful not to swallow water. mineral water in India are the most important three: Bisleri Kinley AQUAFIN Kinley and Aquafina are both produced by Coca Cola and Pepsi, the two companies that bombard the town of advertising and beverage manufacturing, among other things for which local youth mad: and There is, inter alia, to say that while they drink these drinks and mineral water is safe enough, recently a dispute between the state of Kerala And Coke has jeopardized the safety of even this small viaggiatore.Infatti the CSE (India's Centre for Science and Environment) conducting analysis on 12 different types of beverages (including THUMS up and Limca) of Coca Cola and Pepsi found pesticides thirty-six times in quantities exceeding the consentito.Coca cola and Pepsi in fact, taking advantage of the fact that in India (unlike the U.S. and Europe) there is no law that effectively protects the citizen from the product may contain chemical pollutants in food and drink .

This is one of the most extravagant details and I have visited: yes located in the extreme southern tip of India, Tamil Nadu.Esattamente here: And here are the pictures:
I would like to say a few words about Puttaparthi, where is the ashram of Sai Baba.Come I said in my previous post, I am somewhat skeptical about this person, the fact remains that I think a trip to India should necessarily include a trip by these parti.Quindi I try to give some advice for this visita.Come said, arriving in Puttaparthi from Bangalore you take the car and after a journey of four hours you arrive. In Bangalore there are different possibilities of accommodation if you choose (as I have always done, to sleep a few nights in the city). medium-high Price: Gateway Hotel High Price: Ashoka Hotel Low price: Orchid Hotel Arsha The first is located in a very nice, as it is located in the city center, near Mahatma Gandhi Road, the main street of Bangalore.é near several small shopping centers, shops, shops of various silks, jewelry, etc.. In the second, the ashoka hotel, I was about ten years ago, it cost very little time (about 20 euro per night). Now things have changed and India has taken awareness of its value and has adapted the following its prices rialzo.L 'hotel is a great hotel located in the residential area of \u200b\u200bBangalore near a golf course and has all the amenities one could expect from a hotel of this category. arrived in Puttaparthi, you can choose whether to stay within the ashram or stay in one of several small hotels in the city outside. I recommend this: Sai Renaissance I leave you with this wonderful video which is fine sounds and images that you feel to wake up at dawn to Puttaparthi.

As we all know more or less, India is the land of holy men, gurus. Just think Yogananda, Babaji and many others that I even conosco.Ma character certainly worthy of note is Sai Baba. These, now at the ripe old age of 80 years has established his ashram principal (plus several branches all over India) and has disciples from all over the world. In india you know Baba is very influential, just think of who regularly visit him leading personalities of Indian politics (recently, Indian Prime Minister Vajpayee .) The reason for this success is unknown to me (even when I was smaller, there are was 2 times.) Sai Baba has created this village in southern India calling Prashanthinilayam (translated literally earth-peace-) when it was little more than a boy. Since then he has started to do miracles, so they say-which materialize fruits, jewelry, healing the sick etc etc.. His figure of "Saint" has gradually consolidated until today, when Prashanthinilayam is now a city that they visit hundreds of thousands of pilgrims a year. Sai Baba is also involved in the construction of free hospitals, creation of charities such as aqueducts, wells, and dicendo.Lungi away from me to judge this, although I will tell you that the rational mind seems a little absurd to believe certain cose.Per who still wanted to go there out of curiosity: Prashanthi Nilayam or "Puttaparthi" located about 120 km north of Bangalore, capital of the state of Karnataka.Puttaparthi is instead part of the state of Andhra Pradesh, and more precisely is under the jurisdiction of the district of Anantapur. rises on a very deserted area, with barren hills and streams and lakes dried up during the Dry season. When starting the monsoons, which among other things are not usually very violent in this area, the region changed radically and there was a great flourishing of the environment: from the desert hills sloping round and around Puttaparthi is greening and the many lakes in the region has recently been riempono.Di opened a tiny airport at Puttaparthi that will take you directly with a flight from Bombay to 2 hours and 30.Tale service works but only on certain days and in certain months of the year. Otherwise, another way to get here is to make a panoramic journey 4 hours by car from Bangalore and 30 through the myriad of small villages and remote landscapes that characterize the zona.Arrivati \u200b\u200bdestination you can stay in one of these small hotels in a city or a housing offer from the ashram to 100 rupees per day per room (plus or minus 2 €). Puttaparthi, there are several tour operators who can assist in planning the trip, one of which (among other things talks also Italian) is the Travel Point that he owns the affabilissimo Syed (read saied). If you need info on the trip you can ask him.
