Chaos in a Coupe: Travelling across India with Three Dogs
Divya Dugar packed her partner Olivier, their young son Marius, and three spirited rescue dogs into a first-class railway compartment. What followed was a series of unforgettable journeys across India's most captivating regions. From the beaches of Goa to the deserts of Rajasthan, from the heart of Madhya Pradesh to countless stops between, this family discovered that travel transforms entirely when your companions have four legs and boundless curiosity. The dogs, it turns out, notice things humans miss: scents on distant platforms, textures of unfamiliar ground, the peculiar rhythms of train life. Chaos ensues, naturally. Systems built for bipedal travellers become bewildering obstacles. Compartments transform into kingdoms ruled by canine logic. Yet these very complications spark the book's greatest moments, where unexpected encounters and ridiculous mishaps become treasured memories. Woven through with sharp wit and rich photography, this account captures the beautiful absurdity of exploring a vast country with creatures who follow their own rules. Whether you're a seasoned traveller, someone who adores animals, or simply searching for a story that makes you smile, this book delivers genuine warmth alongside genuine laughs.
