It is unfortunate that u did not acknowledge your friend's name.
The el-dorado called Jhumariteliya or Jhumaristan sounds itself like a music. I have heard that when the train entrers the station of Jhumari pradesh it does not whistel but start playing music from its engine. Even horn on Rikshaw and Cycle (cars and Other vehical are yet to reach this holy land) blows musical notes. Thanks for the blog on International Musical Capital.
