Monisha Rajesh is a travel writer who focuses on train travel adventures.She wrote her first book ‘Around India in 80 Trains' after being made redundant, and she wrote ‘Around the World in 80 Trains' just after her first daughter was born. My favourite of all though is Moonlight Express, her most recent book which is all about her experiences on night trains. Monisha is a lovely writer, and I love so many of the pictures she paints of her journeys. One particular favourite is when she is travelling in India and the train door is open to the elements, and hearing the slap of leaves on the side of the train as it trundles along at just above jogging pace. Also I love the descriptions of dining cars. I flipping love a dining car! Monisha talked about taking her two small daughters on train adventures and I feel very inspired to do the same. I hope if I do that I am as brave as she is in imposing a ban on screens for my small people. I want us to look out the window and see all the little worlds going by.Spinning Plates is presented by Sophie Ellis-Bextor, produced by Claire Jones and post-production by Richard Jones.

This is one in a series about possible futures, which will be published in Booch News over the coming weeks. Episode 8 appeared last week. New episodes drop every Friday. Overview Fermentation cooperatives represent one effective social organizing principle among many. In the future, kombucha cafes could replace bars and coffee shops as primary gathering spaces—not because the beverages possess magical properties, but because fermentation creates affordable spaces where people gather around shared productive work. This episode explores Mumbai’s “Fermentation District,” where bio-breweries have become community hubs, enabling stronger civic engagement. These spaces succeeded by combining smart urban design, economic cooperation, and cultural preservation into environments that made authentic connection easier than virtual isolation. The Inheritance of Empty Buildings By 2052, colonial-era buildings in Mumbai’s abandoned Ballard Estate business district stood empty after the Great Flood of July 26, 2047, drove businesses to higher ground. Climate refugee and fermentation consultant Khushi Sengupta—one of the Darjeeling tea plantation refugees who had fled to the Thames Valley Mega-tower together with the Tamang family—traveled back to India to visit family and help rebuild the shattered city. Her relatives had made the grueling 1,300-mile journey west from the Darjeeling foothills to Mumbai after their once-thriving tea plantations were devastated by climate change. It is early October. The monsoon rains have ended. Khushi stands in a gutted office building, water stains still visible three meters up the marble walls. She’s meeting municipal planner Rajesh Krishnan, who spreads architectural drawing across a ruined reception desk while Khushi’s eight-year-old daughter Priya explores the echoing space. “The flood created a crisis,” Rajesh explains. “The government wants temporary housing—stack refugees in minimal square footage, provide basic services, move on. But I’ve seen that approach fail in Delhi, Kolkata, and Chennai. Dense housing without social infrastructure creates slums, not communities.” Khushi watches her daughter discover an old fermentation crock in what was once the building’s cafeteria—remnants of someone’s office kombucha hobby. “What if we built around production instead of consumption?” she asks. “In the Thames Valley tower, the tea gardens and fermentation floors weren’t just amenities; they were integral to the process. They gave people something to do together. They created economic relationships.” Rajesh considers this. The 440 lakh rupees allocated to this district could fund either 1,000 housing units with no common spaces or 700 units with shared productive facilities. The conventional approach prioritizes maximum density. However, traditional methods have produced Mumbai’s sprawling slums, where civic engagement is nearly impossible—no gathering spaces, no economic cooperation, everyone struggling individually. “Show me what you’re imagining,” he says. “Back in the UK,” she explains, “we discovered that when people brew together, they talk. When they talk, they coordinate. When they coordinate, they govern themselves. Fermentation doesn’t create democracy—it creates the conditions where democracy can happen. Regular rhythms, shared investment, economic interdependence.” Six Months Later Khushi’s visit has lasted longer than intended, but no matter. Rajesh Krishnan has secured preliminary approval from city authorities for an experimental fermentation space. He’s looking to Khushi to replicate the Thames Valley tower’s success in Mumbai. If only things were that simple. The space is chaotic—babies crying, elders arguing about fermentation technique in four languages, someone’s SCOBY is contaminated and they need to start over. This is not the harmonious vision Rajesh sold to the municipal government. Narayan, a skeptical elder from a traditional Brahmin family, insists proper fermentation requires specific ritual purity. Fatima, a Muslim woman, questions the halal status of kombucha, wanting confirmation that the fermentation process doesn’t produce haram alcohol levels. A Tamil family wants to recreate their grandmother’s rasam kombucha but lacks the ingredients. A couple from Nagaland has never fermented anything and feels overwhelmed. Mountain Bee Innovation Amira Islam, daughter of Honey Islam, founder of Mountain Bee Kombucha, watches Khushi navigate these conflicts. “This is why industrial-scale kombucha failed,” she observes quietly. “They thought they could standardize living processes. But fermentation is always local—local ingredients, local microbes, local knowledge, local preferences.” Amira operates the district’s most experimental bio-brewery in the Mountain Bee Innovation Labs. Her facility spans three floors, each representing a different democratic process through carefully crafted flavor experiences. The Pineapple-Chili Democracy Floor serves Islam’s recreation of the original “crowd favorite” blend for first-time political participants. The bold, balanced combination of juicy pineapples with subtle chili heat creates the perfect environment for introducing newcomers to participatory governance. Citizens nibbling tacos and tortilla chips while debating local issues find the familiar yet exotic flavors lower social barriers and encourage participation. The Flower ‘N Spice Contemplation Level houses the district’s most complex decision-making processes. The striking purple brew—colored by butterfly pea flowers and warmed with fermented green tea spices—induces the meditative state necessary for addressing long-term planning challenges. Residents sip the cinnamon-forward blend through long straws (the founder’s original “pro tip”), allowing the warmth and spice nuances to enhance their focus during lengthy policy discussions. The Bangalore Blue Grape Strategic Floor serves as the district’s evening governance center. The bold, deep-flavored kombucha made from GI-tagged Bangalore Blue Grapes has evolved into the perfect “non-alcoholic nightcap” for late-night budget negotiations and emergency response planning. The antioxidant-rich brew’s complex flavor profile matches the sophisticated nature of high-level municipal decisions. Dramila Kombucha Cultural Exchange The district’s most dynamic space honors Ezhil Mathy’s legacy of constant innovation. The Dramila Kombucha Cultural Exchange features fermentation tanks that change flavors weekly, ensuring democratic processes remain as dynamic as the beverages they accompany. The centerpiece is the “Sundal Council Chamber,” where Mathy’s legendary Mango, Chili & Coconut kombucha facilitates discussions about street food policy and integration of the informal economy. Citizens familiar with Chennai’s East Coast Beach snack culture instantly connect with the flavors of traditional lentil and chickpea preparations, creating cultural common ground among diverse refugee populations. The facility’s seasonal rotation includes Orange & Christmas Spice sessions for holiday planning, Passion Fruit & Tender Coconut forums for tropical agriculture policy, and Rose, Kokum & Ginger assemblies for traditional medicine integration. Each flavor profile creates specific psychological and social conditions that enhance particular types of democratic dialogue. Community Dialogue Khushi calls for attention. “Everyone, stop. Look around. What do you see?” “A mess,” someone mutters. “I see twenty families who will live in this building for years,” Khushi responds. “Right now, you’re strangers. In six months, you’ll be neighbors. In a year, you’ll be a community—or you’ll be strangers who happen to share walls. The difference is whether you learn to work together now, while the stakes are just kombucha.” She proposes a solution: Each family develops its own fermentation tradition while sharing space and equipment. They rotate teaching responsibilities. They pool resources to buy ingredients. They sell surplus together and split profits. “Fermentation is your excuse to gather,” she explains. “Whether your kombucha is halal, whether it follows proper ritual, whether it tastes like your grandmother’s—those are your decisions. What matters is that you make those decisions together, negotiate those differences, and build relationships that will matter when you’re deciding how to manage the building, how to share childcare, how to respond when the next flood comes.” Some remain unconvinced. “In my village, we knew everyone. We didn’t need excuses to cooperate,” Narayan says. “You’re not in your village,” Khushi replies. “You’re in a city of refugees from a hundred villages. The old social structures are gone. Either you build new ones, or you live as isolated atoms in anonymous density. Fermentation gives you something to build around.” SBooch Cultural Preservation By 2053, the district’s first pan-India commercial operation was established. The SBooch Heritage Collective occupies six floors of a restored Art Deco building. Each floor represents a different Indian regional fermentation tradition. But this isn’t a museum—it’s a working brewery preserving the vision of founder Nirraj Manek and brand ambassador Chef Niyati Rao’s regional Indian recipes. Anika Rao, Chef Niyati’s daughter, now in her early thirties, gives a tour while a health inspector takes notes. The Nagaland floor ferments with ingredients foraged from remaining forest patches. The Odisha level celebrates rice-based fermentation. The Tamil Nadu floor recreates rasam combinations. The fermentation tanks perfectly replicate Chef Niyati’s “From the kitchens of South” blend. Citizens debating water management policies sip the “neither too sour, nor too spicy” combination of tomato, hing, tamarind, and earthy spices that once defined authentic Madurai flavor. The Maharashtra level serves Koshimbir kombucha—”a salad in a bottle”—to residents discussing urban agriculture proposals. The drink’s tomato, cucumber, and coriander profile literally connects voters to the vertical gardens they’re planning. The Gujarat section’s Gor Keri kombucha, capturing the “sweet, tangy, and slightly spicy” essence founders once described as “straight from Nani’s house,” becomes the traditional beverage for intergenerational council meetings where elders share wisdom with climate refugee youth. “My mother spent twenty years documenting regional Indian fermentation before climate change destroyed many of these ecosystems,” Anika explains. “These recipes aren’t just flavors—they’re genetic libraries of microbial diversity adapted to specific ingredients and climates that no longer exist.” The health inspector finds violations: incomplete temperature logs, a fermentation batch showing contamination, and inadequate equipment-cleaning protocols. “This is exactly what corporate interests warned about,” he says. “Artisanal operations can’t maintain safety standards. Why not just let established beverage companies make these flavors?” “Because they can’t,” Anika explains patiently. “Corporate fermentation optimizes for consistency and shelf stability. My mother’s Gor Keri kombucha required fresh ingredients, seasonal variation, and bacterial strains that evolved over centuries in Gujarat’s climate. You can’t mass-produce that while maintaining quality. But you also can’t scale traditional home brewing without safety oversight. We’re finding a middle path.” “We’re learning,” she tells the health inspector. “Some of us come from traditional fermentation backgrounds, but we’re working at scales our grandmothers never imagined. We need training, equipment, and yes—regulation that protects consumers without requiring million-dollar compliance costs that only corporations can afford.” They work out a solution: The district will establish a shared food safety laboratory that multiple small breweries can use. The health department will provide training tailored to fermentation cooperatives. Standards will be maintained, but costs will be shared. The Governance Crisis By 2060, the Fermentation District has succeeded beyond expectations. Municipal services costs are 40% below comparable districts. Crime rates are minimal. Economic activity is robust. But success creates new problems. A real estate developer wants to buy three buildings for luxury condos, using funds that could expand into adjacent blocks for more climate refugee housing. But accepting would displace two established breweries and change the district’s character. A hastily convened community meeting is contentious. Over two hundred residents crowd into the plaza. Brewery operators want to reject the offer—their businesses can’t relocate without losing their customer base. Newer refugees wish to accept—housing is desperately needed, and the money could help hundreds of families. Some suggest negotiating with the developer. Others propose alternative funding sources. Khushi notices something important: this chaotic, frustrating meeting is democracy in action. People with different interests are arguing, proposing alternatives, forming coalitions, making their cases, doing the hard work of negotiating between legitimate competing interests. “Why can’t we just all agree on what’s best?” one resident demands. “Because there isn’t one ‘best,'” Khushi replies. “There are trade-offs. Economic development versus community character. Immediate housing needs versus long-term sustainability. Individual property rights versus collective planning. Real democracy is managing these conflicts, not eliminating them.” “But the breweries bring people together,” a young activist shouts from the back. “That creates unity!” “Sure,” Khushi agrees. “The breweries give us regular reasons to talk. That creates communication. But straightforward unity of purpose is a fantasy. The democratic process is messy, slow, and frustrating. But it’s the only way diverse people with different interests can govern themselves.” After four hours, they reach an imperfect compromise: accept the developer’s offer for one building (the least established brewery agrees to relocate with compensation), use the funds to purchase and convert two adjacent buildings, then lobby the municipality for additional zoning changes that would allow more mixed residential/commercial space. Nobody is completely satisfied. The relocated brewery owner is unhappy. The developer wanted all three buildings. Some refugees will wait longer for housing. But the decision was made collectively through a genuine democratic process. The Comparative Study Dr. Meera Patel, an urban sociologist from IIT Bombay, was pleased that her research into the Fermentation District had concluded. At the Indian Sociological Society’s annual meeting, Dr. Patel’s presentation showed comparative data on the Fermentation District versus three control districts with similar demographics, climate impacts, and initial conditions. The numbers were convincing: A skeptical academic challenges her, never one to miss an opportunity to critique ethnographic methodology. “How do you isolate the effect of fermentation from other variables? The Fermentation District also has better architectural design, more green space, and different economic models. Maybe it’s not the kombucha at all.” “Exactly,” Dr. Patel agrees. “That’s precisely our conclusion. The fermentation cooperatives succeed because they’re part of an integrated social infrastructure. As my next slide demonstrates…” Another academic chimes in. “So this isn’t about probiotics improving ‘cognitive architecture’ or gut bacteria changing behavior, as some have argued?” Dr. Patel laughs. “No. This is about urban design and social capital. The Fermentation District succeeds because it fosters conditions allowing social capital to develop. That requires physical spaces, economic structures, and cultural frameworks. The fermentation is the organizing principle, not a biochemical intervention.” After the meeting ends, a journalist from Dainik Jagran stops her in the hallway. “So the secret to better communities is kombucha?” “It’s not that simple,” Dr. Patel replies. “The secret to better communities is giving people reasons and spaces to cooperate regularly around shared interests. Fermentation cooperatives provide that. As do community gardens, craft guilds, neighborhood workshops, or any structure that combines gathering space, productive work, and economic cooperation. The specific activity matters less than the social infrastructure it creates.” Expansion and Limitations By the mid-2060s, Khushi Sengupta had become quite the world traveler. She conducted workshops for groups from São Paulo, Detroit, Jakarta, and Lagos who wanted to replicate the Fermentation District model. Some experiments worked. Others didn’t. She learned what works and what doesn’t. In São Paulo, a Brazilian team adapted the model using traditional cachaça and fermented vegetable cooperatives rather than kombucha. They understood the principle: create spaces for regular productive cooperation. The specific fermentation tradition mattered less than the social infrastructure. There were misgivings. A member of the São Paulo cooperative shared his concerns. “Some people tell us we’re appropriating Indian culture by copying your model.” “You’re not copying our model,” Khushi reassured him. “You’re applying principles of community design to your own cultural context, in your neighborhood, with your people, using your fermentation traditions. That’s exactly right. If you tried to make Indian kombucha in São Paulo, you’d fail. Local knowledge, local ingredients, local preferences—those matter. The universal principle is: give people spaces and reasons to cooperate productively.” However, in Detroit, Michigan, things didn’t go so well. A well-funded American attempt failed because it focused on breweries rather than broader social architecture. They built beautiful fermentation facilities but maintained standard apartment layouts with no common areas, standard economic models with no cooperative ownership, and standard social patterns with no regular gathering rhythms. Result: fancy kombucha cafes in an anonymous apartment complex. Civic engagement remained minimal. The grandson of a Bloomfield Hills auto executive raised his concerns. “Our city has vacant buildings, unemployed workers, and a need for community spaces. But we also have deep racial divisions, economic devastation, and institutional distrust. Will fermentation cooperatives solve those problems?” Khushi looked him in the eyes. She saw confusion, fear, and some resentment. “No,” she replied. “They’ll create spaces where people can begin working on those problems together. That’s all. Social infrastructure makes cooperation easier—it doesn’t eliminate the need for difficult negotiations, institutional reform, or economic justice.” Things went better in New York City, where the government-owned grocery stores opened in the 2020s by Mayor Mamdani connected environmental justice to social equity, leading to fermentation hubs across all five boroughs. From the hipsters of Brooklyn to the intellectuals of the Upper West Side, fermentation flourished. Despite valiant efforts, the Nigerian organizers of the Lagos Fermentation District struggled as rapid population growth overwhelmed the social infrastructure. The breweries helped but couldn’t keep pace with demand. They learned that social infrastructure requires matching population density, economic resources, and gathering spaces. Priya, now in her early twenties and a valued assistant, asks her mother a difficult question: “Some people say you’re claiming fermentation fixes everything. That makes other people angry, and they reject the whole idea. Why not just be clear about what works?” Khushi pauses. Her daughter has identified the communication challenge. “You’re right. The media likes simple stories: ‘Kombucha magic creates perfect communities.’ That’s not what happened. But writing that ‘Carefully designed social infrastructure including fermentation cooperatives as one element of integrated community development produces measurably better outcomes in contexts with adequate resources and population densities’ doesn’t make a good headline.” An Uncomfortable Truth In 2072, the twentieth anniversary celebration of the pioneering Mumbai District is bittersweet. The district has succeeded by many measures, but not all. There are now over 2,000 residents with stable housing and 47 active fermentation cooperatives. Crime rates remain low, civic engagement is high, and economic vitality is sustained. The model has been replicated in twelve cities worldwide. However, problems persist. Two hundred families who couldn’t adapt to the cooperative model have left the district. Three breweries have failed due to mismanagement, and tensions persist between traditional and innovative fermentation approaches. The debate over raw, pasteurized, and kombucha from concentrate remains no closer to resolution than when the first KBI Verified Seal Program was introduced. Economic inequality has arisen between successful breweries and those struggling to survive. The district remains dependent on municipal support for infrastructure. Since the architectural design requires space, the model doesn’t scale to very high densities, and some residents never fully engage despite the infrastructure. Dr. Patel presents her updated research at the Indian Sociological Society annual meeting. “The Fermentation District demonstrates that thoughtfully designed social infrastructure produces measurably better community outcomes,” she says. “But it’s not magic. About 75% of residents actively participate—that’s remarkably high, but not universal. Economic challenges persist. Cultural conflicts continue. The infrastructure makes cooperation easier, not automatic.” Khushi Sengupta delivers the conference closing keynote to the assembled urban planners, architects, and sociologists. Her speech is brutally honest: “Twenty years ago, we had empty buildings and displaced people. We made several choices. We chose to build community around shared, productive work, and we decided on fermentation because it connected people to cultural traditions while creating economic opportunities. It worked—better than conventional refugee housing, worse than utopian expectations. But understand: kombucha didn’t create democracy. Democracy created the kombucha. We chose to govern ourselves collectively, and fermentation provided us with a tangible focus for coordination. The breweries are symbols of cooperation, not its cause. “Other communities should learn from what works: provide people with spaces to gather, opportunities to share, economic stakes in outcomes, and cultural practices that connect them. Whether that’s fermentation, gardening, crafts, or childcare collectives matters less than the underlying principles. “But also learn from what didn’t work: This approach requires resources, space, and time. It works best at the neighborhood scale, not the megacity scale. It requires people willing to cooperate—you can’t force community. And it doesn’t address deep-seated structural problems like poverty, discrimination, or political corruption. It creates spaces where people can work on those problems together.” Epilogue: Priya’s Generation It’s 2072, and Priya Sengupta, now twenty-eight, is an associate professor in urban planning at the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay. Priya leads a tour of the Fermentation District for her freshman class. She’s grown up in this environment and can explain it clearly: “This is where I learned that communities are designed, not natural,” she tells the students. “My mother’s generation made choices: how to use space, how to structure economics, how to create gathering rhythms, how to preserve culture while adapting to change. “My generation is studying these principles so we can design better communities as climate change continues displacing populations. We’re not looking for magic solutions. We’re looking for replicable, adaptable, evidence-based approaches to community building that work at different scales in different contexts. “The Fermentation District is a notable example of success. It’s not the only way, not the perfect way, but it’s a way that worked here. That’s worth learning from.” A student asks: “What would you tell someone who claims fermented beverages biochemically produce civic engagement?” Priya doesn’t hesitate: “I’d say they’re confusing correlation with causation. People who drink kombucha in this district are more civically engaged—but not because of the beverage. They’re engaged because the brewing cooperatives create social infrastructure that makes engagement easier, more rewarding, and more necessary. The kombucha is correlation, not cause.” Priya enjoys brewing kombucha with her class, teaching fermentation while explaining urban design principles. The next generation understands: it’s not about magic beverages. It’s about designing communities that make cooperation easier than isolation. Celebration Bollywood celebrated Mumbai’s Ballard Fermentation District in a feature-length film Baadh Ke Baad (After the Flood). The hit song from that movie was Sab Milkar Ab (All Together Now).

Lincode Labs is transforming quality control in automotive manufacturing through AI-powered visual inspection systems that replace traditional machine vision cameras with advanced computer vision technology. After nine years and $10 million in funding, the company has established itself as an early mover in bringing modern AI to one of manufacturing's most conservative sectors. In this episode of Category Visionaries, I spoke with Rajesh Iyengar, a fourth-time founder with multiple exits, about his methodical approach to market validation, the operational realities of selling into automotive manufacturing, and the counterintuitive GTM strategies that enabled market penetration in a notoriously risk-averse industry. Topics Discussed: Pre-incorporation market validation methodology: surveying 300-400 manufacturers over one year Positioning within existing "vision systems" budget categories versus creating new AI category Manufacturing engineer versus quality engineer buyer persona discovery and implications Trade show strategy for demonstrating complex AI technology to skeptical prospects Geographic arbitrage: leveraging Silicon Valley for fundraising, Michigan for customer proximity Structured investor feedback collection across 400-500 pitches for business model refinement GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Execute systematic pre-incorporation market validation at scale: Before incorporating Lincode, Rajesh spent an entire year surveying 300-400 manufacturers through a structured questionnaire approach. Starting with 8-10 manufacturing contacts, he expanded through LinkedIn outreach to validate core assumptions about AI adoption, deployment complexity, and willingness to pay. This wasn't casual customer discovery—it was quantitative market research that de-risked his fourth venture before committing capital. B2B founders should design systematic validation processes that generate statistically meaningful data rather than relying on anecdotal feedback from a handful of prospects. Position within existing budget categories to accelerate procurement cycles: Despite building AI technology, Rajesh deliberately positioned Lincode within the established "vision systems" category rather than creating a new AI category. As he explained, "as far as customer is concerned, whether it's AI or not AI, they'll put us into a category of vision systems... so they can assign the budgets." Creating new categories extends sales cycles as procurement teams struggle with budget allocation and vendor evaluation frameworks. B2B founders should analyze how their innovation maps to existing enterprise budget line items and position accordingly, reserving category creation for later market education phases. Identify economic buyers through productivity impact mapping, not feature alignment: Lincode's initial assumption that quality engineers would buy quality inspection technology proved completely wrong. Manufacturing engineers became the actual buyers because quality bottlenecks directly constrained their core KPI: productivity. Rajesh discovered that "manufacturing engineers responsibility is on productivity, so quality kind of puts a bottleneck on that." This required repositioning their value proposition from quality improvement to productivity optimization. B2B founders must map their solution's economic impact across organizational functions to identify who controls budget decisions, which often differs from the obvious feature-benefit alignment. Deploy experiential marketing for technology adoption in conservative industries: Traditional SaaS demo strategies failed in automotive manufacturing where "AI is something which nobody wanted to just believe on a buzzword, especially in Midwest." Rajesh invested in major trade shows with hands-on demos, allowing prospects to physically interact with components and see real-time AI analysis. This strategy mimicked automotive showroom experiences where customers need tactile engagement before purchasing decisions. For B2B founders selling complex technology to traditional industries, budget allocation should prioritize experiential marketing that enables physical product interaction over digital marketing channels. Structure investor feedback as systematic business model iteration: Rather than fundraising episodically, Rajesh treated investor pitches as structured feedback collection, comparing it to AI model training: "if you give thousands of images, then the AI will work perfectly." Pitching 400-500 investors generated business model insights that shaped core strategic decisions, including the critical industry focus recommendation that transformed their approach. One investor's feedback about avoiding multi-industry approaches directly contradicted Rajesh's initial strategy but proved transformational. B2B founders should design investor interaction as ongoing strategic consulting, maintaining regular dialogue for continuous business model refinement beyond capital needs.   //   Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe.  www.GlobalTalent.co   //   Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

In this episode of arts24, coinciding with the 200th anniversary of the first passenger train, award-winning travel writer Monisha Rajesh joins Eve Jackson to share her immersive, rail-bound adventures across continents. Her latest book, "Moonlight Express: Around the World by Night Train", takes readers on 18 unforgettable journeys – from sipping pisco sours aboard Peru's Andean Explorer to watching the sunrise over Istanbul's skyline.

In this conversation recorded live at Shakespeare and Company, travel writer Monisha Rajesh talks about her new book Moonlight Express: Around the World by Night Train. From Paris to Istanbul, Scotland to India, the United States to Lapland, Rajesh explores the romance and realities of sleeper trains—where the carriages, the landscapes, and above all, the people become the story. She shares how her love of rail travel began in India, why night trains are enjoying a resurgence amid the climate crisis, and what it means to travel as a woman, a mother, and a writer in a turbulent world. Alongside the practicalities of packing eye masks and hot water bottles, Rajesh reflects on the communities that form in dining cars, the unexpected intimacy of train travel, and the way technology, politics, and global events shape the journeys we take.Buy Moonlight Express: https://www.shakespeareandcompany.com/books/moonlight-expressMonisha Rajesh is a British journalist whose writing has appeared in Time magazine, the New York Times, and Vanity Fair.

Chatting with author and journalist Monisha Rajesh was just as delightful as I expected (and I had high expectations!). Long-distance train travel is basically synonymous with being a thoughtful traveller, and our chat ranged from a favourite train (you are allowed to have favourites!) through some of the most interesting passengers she's met and a little taster about the thrills of sleeper train travel, which she delves into more in her new book Moonlight Express. If you're listening to this shortly after publication, don't forget you can join us live to chat with Monisha on 10th October for our Thoughtful Travellers Book Club - Moonlight Express edition.

Send us a textImproving hair quality ~ How can we get the most out of supplements? Dr Rajesh (Rajendrasingh) Rajput is an international speaker, & IAT faculty member.He often completes surgery pro bono for those who have suffered burns, cleft palate, leprosy and skin traumas. He has researched metabolism in the hair follicle, and monitored changes in hair growth, DHT levels and sensitivity.Dr Rajesh has a patented cyclical supplementation routine, which has shown an improvement in hair growth of 30-40% +, along with an improvement in scalp and follicle health.He shares his research on which vitamins can counteract each other, which are synergistic and which are antagonistic, and how intermittent nutrition can give the body time to absorb & process each nutrient.Dr Rajesh believes that no nutrient can work alone, and that deficiencies are an indication of a problem within the whole system. We look at how smaller, preventative doses can work differently to larger doses used to treat deficiencies. We explore the concept of 'hidden hunger' due to the fact that there is a depleted level of nutrition in our current foods compared to years ago. Connect with Dr Rajesh:InstagramWebsiteYouTube Hair & Scalp Salon Specialist course Support the showConnect with Hair therapy: Facebook Instagram Twitter Clubhouse- @Hair.Therapy Donate towards the podcast Start your own podcastHair & Scalp Salon Specialist Course ~ Book now to become an expert!

Today I'm so pleased to welcome back someone who you all loved the first time around on the podcast - the brilliant author and travel writer, Monisha Rajesh. Her passion for trains, and for the way rail travel slows you down and opens you up to new worlds, was just infectious. And I'm so excited to say that she's back with a gorgeous new book called Moonlight Express, which takes us deep into the magical world of sleeper trains. In this new adventure, Monisha journeys across Europe, the Americas and beyond, trading airports for railway platforms and following moonlit tracks through some of the most cinematic landscapes on Earth, which we have the pleasure of chatting about today. From the soft snow and candlelit calm of the Norwegian night trains to the fairy-tale villages of Transylvania, glimpsed at sunrise through the window of a creaky couchette on the Dacia Express. Or to the pastel-painted streets of Savannah, Georgia, in the US, reached on Amtrak's Silver Meteor. She takes us high into the Andes too, aboard the luxurious Belmond Andean Explorer from Cusco to Arequipa, where the train carves through deserts and towering peaks, so close to everyday life you feel like you could touch it. And back in Britain, she celebrates her mum's 70th aboard the Royal Scotsman, sipping whisky in the observation car as the Highlands go past.She reminds us what makes train travel so unique: the romance, the community, and the chance to simply sit by the window and watch the world roll by.Destination Recap: Oslo to trondheim, Trondheim to Buda, NorwayTransylvania, Romania FinlandPeru - Belmond Andean Explorer - Cusco to ArequipaBelmond Royal Scotsman Caledonia Sleeper Train, London to Edinburgh Cornish Riviera trainSilver Meteor - Orlando, Florida to Savannah, GeorgiaSavannah, Georgia, USAMoonlight Express: Around the World by Night Train by Monisha Rajesh is published by Bloomsbury (28 August).With thanks to Airbnb for their support of today's episode.Thanks so much for listening today.
