Description

A few years ago, a book that will permanently alter the way people view travel was published. Bishwanath Ghosh, who was travelling from Kanpur to Chennai, stepped off the train at Itarsi Junction to get a cup of chai. The fact that Itarsi junction connects the length and breadth of India on the rail map, yet very little is known about Itarsi, the town, occurred to him as he sipped the tea and listened to the recorded voice announcing the arrivals and delays of the numerous trains that went through the station. Itarsi, Mughal Sarai, Jhansi, Shoranur, Arakkonam, and Jolarpettai?places that are always a stopover and never a goal; recognisable and well-known?began Ghosh's journey to tell the tale of all the towns hidden behind some of the country's greatest intersections.
