A recent study in Psychological Science suggests that those of us who have travelled the world can be left feeling isolated and alone when we return home after a gap year. This unfortunate aspect of reverse culture shock is something many travellers can relate to as many people we knew in our old lives simply can’t relate to the experiences we have had or the things we have seen.

Conservatism is deeply rooted in Indias values, cultures and traditions, and not least of which its many religions, but look beneath the surface and you reveal a deeply sensual and passionate culture with a long history of values completely opposite to what many travellers see today, a fact celebrated by the sexual worship on display in Kajuraho.
