what its like

1/23/08 I’ll try to give you a good idea of experiencing life in India (or one sub-culture, of one section of India). The first thing you have to understand is the noise. In every way this is a loud country. The roads are constantly filled with motorcycles, humming rickshaws (without...

school and weddings

1/22/08 Orientation is pretty basic. We have homestay advice, hindi classes (fast but good so far), intl deveoplent (basically just our personal observations and discussion so far) and we will soon visit with the healthcare lady. The longer we are here, the more I realize I only really have...

Snapshot: Cows on the Crosswalk

I know I will miss it when I leave and I don’t even like them. But wherever you go in India from the smallest villages to the heart of New Delhi, you will see them eating trash, lazing unconcerned down the road, or chewing their cud blocking the whole sidewalks. Everyone who has told...

home sweet home

So we have finally moved in with Sunita-Ji and settled in a bit. I am a bit apprehensive about never leaving anything in plain site (ie not in a drawer or something) and might ignore it a little in the little corner by my bed. I cannot tell if our host mom is reserved or a little aloof or...

The madness of Mumbai

We stayed at the Hotel Volga in Mumbai but it soon became known as the Hotel Vulgar, all shabby and no chic. Mind you, the views out of the window certainly compensated for the cramped and overpriced room. We only had a couple of nights in Mumbai and that was plenty. We've been there...

b/c I need a title

Two days ago we traveled. All day, all night—and it was surprisingly enjoyable. We took an incredible journey down through the mountains surrounded by tropical forest just as you would imagine is the home of the Bengal tiger and tapir. Then we got on the overnight sleeper train. The back of...

Goin' to Goa

It was a long slog on the train down from Rajasthan to Goa. We had a brief stop along the way in lovely Ahmedabad, basically that meant a wait of about 7 hours. Not wanting to spend 7 hours at the station we booked into a seedy hotel downtown. To say it was grim would be an understatement...

Udaipur, Rajasthan

After Pushkar we headed down the road (well down the road by Indian standards) to the the lake side city of Udaipur, as seen in the James Bond movie 'Octopussy'. We decided to blow the hotel budget again (another tenner or so a night) and booked into a suite at the Hotel Anjani. The...
