Hello New Delhi
Friendly security men at every place that has a door. Plus, metal detectors, hands on body search and opened bags for most average shops. Additionally, machine guns at every public transport station or market entrance.

Food in New Delhi
The second one isn't potato, and the last one is free airport food because the flight from New Delhi to Calcutta was delayed by 5 hours.
Calcutta
Calcutta, after a short flight from New Delhi because I had to give up on making train reservations.
Special edition: Falooda
While India has some the best spices of any cuisine I know, the ice cream Falooda was easily the best food I've had here. It is a fancy mix of texture and flavor:
- Crunchy nuts
- Coconut or vanilla ice cream
- Delicious strawberry milk shake
- Small chewy dark berries
- Thin noodles for a surprising texture
- Milk rice to reset your taste buds
- Red pudding
Minimalistic street food version:
27 hours train between Calcutta and Chennai
Sleeper class wagon, mostly used by Indian middle class.
Indian dishes
They're not really all Indian, but the more appealing meals.
