Welcome to North India!

I have made a list of things you would surely need while coming towards North India.

Number 1: Odomos mosquito repellent
If you do not have a mosquito repellent you are gonna become a feast for the blood thirsty mosquitoes.
Malaria, Dengue etc are quite common here.




Number 2: Calcium Tablets
Yes, In my stay of more than a year here i have experienced that most of the milk over here is 'purely' artificial. You will need external calcium to avoid decaying of teeth and joint related problems.

Synthetic Milk Siezed

Number 3: Anti-Allergics
With the weather changing here almost constantly you will surely need an anti histamine. We have so many seasons that its impossible to believe that your living in the same country all the time.

Number 4: Body Warmers, Quilt .etc
We have one of the most mind blowing winters. It is so cold over here that it literally blows your mind. Keep the cold in mind when coming between December 25 to January 25. Its damn cold. Brrrrrrrrr.

Number 5: Parle-G, Chocolate bars.
As Odd as it sounds, when coming here during the monsoons keep some ready snacks with you. Floods are very common here. Water just enters the house without knocking and you could be stranded without any food.

Number 6: Bargaining Technique
Its very important that you argue for every rupee here. People have tendency to take people for a ride if they feel they are new to the city. Bargain with them , argue and show them you are not a newbie.

Number 7 : A Sharp Eye
The Dhaba's and Roadside restaurants are not very hygenic here. You will need a sharp eye to spot any thing 'extra' in your meal.
