Teaching English opportunities exist - Especially in smaller cities and rural areas, though most positions require commitment of months.
Cyclones affect coastal states differently - Odisha and West Bengal face regular cyclones; Kerala experiences different monsoon patterns; Gujarat sees another weather pattern entirely.
Pharmacies stock different medicines - Some medications available over-the-counter in one state require prescriptions in another due to state regulations.
Protect cameras from dust and humidity - Carry silica gel packets, keep equipment in sealed bags, and clean sensors regularly.
Credit cards aren't widely accepted outside cities - Many smaller restaurants, shops, and guesthouses only accept cash. Don't rely solely on cards.
Punjabi culture is more effusive and loud - Punjabis tend to be boisterous, warm, and physically expressive compared to more reserved southern cultures.
Humidity differs between coasts - Mumbai's humidity is oppressive; Goa's sea breeze makes it tolerable; Chennai's is somewhere in between.
Oral rehydration salts save lives - When Delhi Belly strikes (and it might), ORS packets help prevent dangerous dehydration. Buy them at any pharmacy.
Rajasthani food is designed for desert climate - Less water content, more ghee, and longer shelf life characterize Rajasthani cuisine due to historical scarcity.
Know the local emergency number - 112 is the universal emergency number in India, connecting to police, fire, and ambulance.
