The Road East To India is the memoir of Devika A. Rosamund, written at the time of her travels to India alone in 1976, aged just 22. In her diary she records her adventures & reflects on her personal experiences, emotions & the relationships she formed with fellow travellers & indigenous people. Devika`s journey begins in Amsterdam where she saves money for her exciting trip. Once she has earned enough money by working relentlessly, she travels by bus as far as Iran, & then continues by local transport through Afghanistan & Pakistan to India, braving many dangers on the way. The journey to India takes six weeks, & once there she goes on to travel around the country, visiting many famous places she has only ever dreamt about before, including the Himalayas & Sri Lanka. Devika takes many risks & experiences some frightening situations on her journey which are recorded in this diary. On one occasion a hotel worker breaks into her room in the middle of the night. Finally, after travelling up the west coast of India, Devika discovers an ashram & finds herself sat at the feet of a spiritual master, where she learns about meditation. Her spiritual journey takes a turn for the worst when the monsoon season arrives. The house where she is staying is completely flooded & consequently she becomes very sick, with doctors worried for her life. She very fortunately recovers, & is able to return to England to complete the final year of her studies. Devika concludes her memoir by saying that great adventures inevitably always include risk & danger & this is what makes it a journey of a lifetime. The Road East To India will appeal to those who enjoy travel memoirs & are interested in what it was like for a young woman to travel alone overland to India. ...
