My God! The best way to describe a hell on the earth: "Rawatbhata". People: most unfriendly, unearthly, cruel, egocentric & inhuman one can ever imagine. Had been to this place, I mean hell, for some 5 years. It was the most bitter experience I had in my life. After a lot of efforts I am able to come out of this hell. Just never want to even imagine myself at that place again. Oh God!!!
