tea cups make the heart grow fonder

3/4/08 The legendary heat of India is beginning to rear its ugly head. And just as most places don’t have heat, most don’t have air conditioning, which changes the meaning of what is to be hot compared to the US. They say that this is just warm weather. Sunita warns us that it will no doubt...

on the streets

To Gandhiji

To Gandhiji. It’s the anniversary of Gandhi’s death, and the event is observed by 2 minutes of silence at 11. AM. It’s a nice gesture but as we stood in silence I heard the honks and street noises and thus was not under the illusion that the whole country stops in place to observe the...
