This is unbelievable: Meet the group of friends who are travelling across India in trains and live-tweeting their journey
Three friends on an epic journey. Sounds quite Dil Chahta Hai-ish, doesn't it?
Rajat Bhargava, Omkar Divekar and Samarth Mahajan are three friends from Mumbai who are doing the unthinkable- travelling across the country in trains- general compartment no less and live-tweeting the interesting conversations and experiences they are garnering along the way.
While most of us will be stuck in our 9-5 jobs behind unassuming desks for the next few days, the trio will be travelling in 10 trains across India for the next 16 days.So today I embark on a 16 day train journey throughout India with a couple of friends which looks a bit like this. pic.twitter.com/3nQRik7Jxx

The trio is particularly excited for the Banihal-Baramulla train journey in Kashmir and the train journey from Dibrugarh to Kanyakumari that will take a whopping 84 hours to be completed.
They are also having some very unusual and heartwarming conversations with the people they’re meeting on their way and tweeting almost of all their experiences.
Have a look:
