You're Saying You Want to Curry Favour with L.A.? This is How Far You Gotta Go ✈️
Ever felt that wanderlust tugging at your soul, whispering about palm trees, Hollywood dreams, and burritos the size of your head? Yeah, Los Angeles can do that to a person. But between you and that beachside selfie with a movie star (not necessarily in that order), there's a little hurdle: distance. And let me tell you, India to L.A. is not exactly a hop, skip, and a rickshaw ride.
How Many Butter Chicken Naans is That, Exactly?
Here's the skinny: we're talking about over 8,000 miles (or 13,000 kilometers). For those of you who measure life in delicious deliveries, that's roughly the distance you'd travel to get butter chicken naan delivered from the Taj Mahal to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Just picture it: a determined pigeon with a heat lamp strapped to its back, dodging airplanes and dreams of becoming a Bollywood stunt pigeon. Epic, right?
Folding Yourself in Half Won't Quite Do the Trick
Now, for the adventurous souls who are thinking "challenge accepted," let's talk travel time. Buckle up, because a non-stop flight can take you anywhere from 15 to 22 hours. That's a lot of in-flight movies (or staring longingly at the little airplane Wi-Fi symbol that never seems to connect).
The Good News (Because There Always Is Some)
But hey, on the bright side, that much time in a metal bird gives you ample opportunity to:
- Brush up on your Bollywood classics to impress any potential L.A. starlets (or at least confuse them).
- Learn origami – you might need to fold yourself in half to fit comfortably in those tiny airplane seats anyway.
- Practice your Hollywood smile – you'll need it after explaining to immigration why you have that much emergency naan in your carry-on luggage.
Look, the distance between India and L.A. might be vast, but that just makes the journey (and the eventual poolside margarita) all the sweeter. So, start packing your bags, cue up your Bollywood playlist, and get ready for an adventure that's anything but butter chicken.
