This bus service from London to Calcutta (Kolkata) is considered to have been the longest bus route in the world.
The service, which was started in 1957 and operated by Albert Travel, was routed to India continuing after the UK, to Belgium, through Europe via Yugoslavia, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan and West Pakistan. After entering India, it eventually reached Calcutta via New Delhi, Agra, Allahabad and Banaras.
This route became known as the Hippie Route. It took about 50 days for the bus to reach Calcutta from London. The voyage was 32669 km long and was in service until 1976. By then the cost of the trip was £145, including food, travel and accommodation.
The bus was equipped with reading facilities, separate sleeping bunks for everyone, and fan-operated heaters. There was a kitchen with all equipment and amenities. There was a forward observation lounge on the upper deck of the later version of the bus.
The bus provided radio and a music system for parties. It had time to spend at major tourist destinations along the way, including Banaras and the Taj Mahal on the banks of the Ganges. Shopping breaks were organised in Salzburg, Vienna, Istanbul, Kabul and Tehran

• "बीबी का मकबरा" को 'दक्कन का ताज' भी कहा जाता है।
• 'बीबी का मकबरा' औरंगाबाद, महाराष्ट्र, भारत में स्थित एक मकबरा है।
• बीबी-का-मकबरा मुगल सम्राट औरंगजेब (1658-1707 ई.) की पत्नी राबिया-उल-दौरानी उर्फ दिलरस बानो बेगम का एक सुंदर मकबरा है।
• माना जाता है कि इस मकबरे का निर्माण राजकुमार आजम शाह ने अपनी मां की याद में 1651 से 1661 ई. में किया, जिसका उल्लेख मुख्य प्रवेश द्वार पर मिले एक शिलालेख में है।

Mathematician Ramanujam didn’t have any close friends and someone asked him the reason. He replied that although he wanted to have close friends but nobody was up to his expectations.
When pressed how he expected his friend to be, he replied, "like numbers 220 and 284!"
The person got confused and asked what is the connection between friendship and these numbers!
Ramanujam asked him to find the divisors of each number!
With much difficulty, the person derived and listed them as,
220 → 1,2,4,5,10,11,20,22,44,55,110,220
284 →1,2,4,71,142,284
Ramanujam then asked the person to exclude the numbers 220 and 284 and asked the sum of the remaining divisors.
The person was astonished to find,
220 → 1+2+4+5+10+11+20+22+44+55+110=284
284 →1+2+4+71+142=220
Ramanujam explained that an ideal friendship should be like these numbers, to complement each other. Even when one is absent, the other should represent the friend!
Hats off to this great mind and genius who is on the world’s top list of mathematicians!!
