I was special of trying out this experiment, Frankly I was not in a desperate situation as the Reserve Bank of India had given me some monetary relief for attending an international conference in Sweden and the coverage of events in Poland, Czechoslovakia.

But when I also decided to buy a Euro rail pass in Delhi and visit a few more European countries at my own expense I did go through spell of uncertainty.
