Indian flights are very cheap and it's tempting. But if you have the time and the patience, Indian trains reward like no other journey.
The Indian train is a travelling village in itself. You will be sold to constantly. Some things you will want - chai in the moring, samosa in the evening - and some things you will not.

Despite the bad image of India as a hard-sell place, there's no obligation to buy and the seller will move on if you are not interested. The good bit is, you can do all your shopping in one journey, from bajee to clothing.
The trains are more than a kilometre long (which is truely awesome in itself), and are a lifeline to many Indians. And far more eco-friendly than flying.

Best record shop in Maharashtra. Bhangra, Kannada, Marathi, Hindi soundtracks, hindi films, jazz (magic selection, average price 4 GBP), up to date contemporary western. The place is a treasure. Amazing service, great compilations - these people really know their music. Family owned. Makes you wonder why most radio stations are terrible.

Kala Ghoda just up the road from Regal cinema.
