@ Jabeen, I too have visited Jamshedpur and nearby places , a couple of waterfalls but I am sure there is lot more to see in the state . In fact all our states are unique and it is my great desire to visit all the states in India...

@ rambabu did the villagers speak English, Hindi or their own dialect with an accent that sounded strange to you.!!!

Very apt reply to Rambabu. I too ve a great desire to visit all the states of India. I have done a little bit of travelling in the north and northeast but am yet to visit any parts of South India. Though I have a plan to visit it maybe by 2018. 

@ Rambabu,

Even I am curious to know which language they spoke with accent. Normally people in every regions have their own way of speaking and develop certain accent which is typical to them

The most commonly  used languages in Jharjhand are Hindi and English. English is spoken by the literate population. A large number of people communicate in Hindi. Additionally there are several tribal languages.

Coming to the point, when I visited Jharkhand I found people speaking with an accent, which is neither Hindi nor English. That's why I said the language  sounded strange.

As always you dont make much sense, why should people speak in an accent that is neither Hindi or English in Jharkand ? and by the way what about your own state do they speak Hindi or English and  for  outsiders Telugu would sound strange ...what a narrow minded view !

In my own State, in general Telugu is spoken. with an outsider or a stranger, we converse in English too . But Telugu or English varies from region to region in the same State. In Rayala seema, the accent will be different. In coastal regions people speak  with heavy accent. In Nellore District, both Telugu and English, there will be a mixture of Tamil and Kannada.

One more of your nonsensical posts where you give uncalled for details that are neither part of the discussion that is taking post.

It is my opinion. I have the liberty of posting my views. like it or leave it.

@Rambabu

I am unable to understand what you meant when you wrote that the people in Jharkhand speak with an accent which is neither hindi nor English. And please don't feel that I am trying to be sarcastic because I am genuinely confused by your post. 

As far as I know accent refers to the way a language is spoken by people. The way how they pronounced the words in a particular language. So I had assumed that for every language there should be a separate accent. If we take an example of people, lets say a village in Jamshedpur, if they speak hindi, English and Santhal language, then shouldn't they speak these three languages with three different accents? After all words in hindi are different from words in English which are again different from words used in Santhal language? So how can they speak with an accent which is neither hindi nor English? The pronunciation of santhal language would naturally be different from other languages.

I would be genuinely grateful if someone can clarify my doubts!!

Maharashtra is one state I have not explored except for my visit to MUmbai, that too I went to attend one wedding and could not see the city. I want to explore this state. I would like to know your feedback and suggestions, from those who have visited it.

@Arunima- u must visit Maharashtra especially Mumbai is a,place to visit. Lot of places to see here.

@ Bajirao.Can you give more detailed information on the places, major attractions and things to do if you had a first hand experience with it

One place I have visited a couple of times an still look forward to visiting again is Srilanka which is one of the loveliest places ever.It has everything, The sea,mountains, Tea gardens , great cuisine , clean cities and very friendly people. The beauty of the place is breathtaking and they have meticulously preserved their ancient  and heritage sites . It is close to India and our cultures are very similar ..

I totally agree with you. I have visited it once two years back and we are looking forward to visit it again in coming Oct as my husband is having an on shore meet there.

I liked Nepal a lot and visited it several times during my childhood with my grandparents who had few relatives there. But I think it is a totally different picture post the devastating earthquake. 

Bhutan is a also a nice destination for Nature lovers and trekkers.

Yes I too have visited Nepal, Bhutan and Sikkim..Bhutan is a great place for tourists . Earlier it was not all that crowded but I hear it gets really crowded during summer holidays since most of  the tourists are from India and  Asian sub continent

You should definitely visit Maharashtra, it is a beautiful place with everything that a tourist would like to visit, seas, beautiful coastlines, Mountains, old temples and forts etc. Also Maharashtrian cuisine is one of the most versatile cuisines and you are sure to love the food as well.

I too am very keen on exploring Maharashtra, not seen much except Mumbai and Kolhapur which is a very nice town..I am sure the interiors and other spots are much more beautiful ..

Though not visited Maharashtra, have a Marathi friend. Tried a few of her dishes... Mouth watering. Shrikhand with mango is really lip smacking

If you make it to Maharashtra then you should visit neighbouring  Gujarat also.which has many wonderful tourist spots.

Have you really been Kolhapur? Yes , its a lovely place and it has still retained its old world charm even though it too is not untouched by modern developments, but I still like it. That aside, whole of Maharashtra is definitely beautiful and worth exploring.

Have you tried puran-poli? the Maharashtrian style, not Gujarati or Kannada, it is worth killing for :)

Important tourist place of Rajasthan.

We made a stop over at Kolhapur while driving to Bombay from Mangalore. Other than that I have also visited Kandala , again while driving and stopping over to look around. It is really beautiful and since it was the middle of rainy season there were many waterfalls and greenery everywhere pretty much like Shiradi ghats in Karnataka..

Heart stealing Rajasthan.

Long ago, I visited Ajanta , Ellora caves. While Ajanta caves are famous for  excellent paintings, Ellora caves caves are known for their Architectural grandeur'.

You picked a great time to be in Khandala, rainy season is the best to visit, Sahyadri ranges turn into a green paradise and every nook and corner is beautiful, wherever you go. Unfortunately, since both Lonavala and Khandala are very close to both Pune and Mumbai, thousands of tourists, especially college students flock over to these places and the entire region experiences total chaos! It is a nightmare traveling between Pune and Mumbai now.
