Personal Illuminations: VOL II, Exploration (Personal Illuminations)
Take this book along with you and fill it up with your unique observations about your trip and about how what you observe might be changing you. You can paste in your train schedule, but remember to note in the margin how many women you counted wearing saris, or how many men played cards in each car, or how many children stared at the color of your skin. You don't have to leave the country to use this book, or even leave your state. All you need to do is start to notice how different people do the same things differently.
