'Mild mannered Abe, however, is Tarzan of the traffic jungle. He knows the strict species pecking order: pedestrians are on the bottom and run out of the way of everything, bicycles make way for cycle-rickshaws, which give way to auto-rickshaws, which stop for cars, which are subservient to trucks. Buses stop for one thing and one thing only. Not customers - they jump on while the buses are still moving. The only thing that can stop a bus is the king of the road, the lord of the jungle and th...

We spent our time in Varanasi (the oldest city in the world) chilling out in Ganpati Guest house which overlooks the great River Ganges, the most famous and holy city in all of India. It was quite a relaxing view from the restaurant at the top of our laid back guest house, and very beautiful at night with dusky pink sunsets and the pretty tea lights floating downstream, which was a daily occurrence. Many people come here just to bathe in the Holy waters, in reality the water is filthy and hea...

Wow. If getting to Heathrow went in a blur, flying to Delhi went in a double-blur. Clearly the refreshments played a part in it but we were very relaxed by the time we took off on Thursday afternoon. Asleep virtually instantly the moment the vegetarian moussaka had been removed, we disembarked seven hours later, at about 7am local time, preparing ourselves for the madness. And to be fair, we weren't disappointed. Despite a nicely organised government taxi queuing system [(a) buy a ticket for ...

WAr sicherheitshalber am Vormittag nochmals im Buero von Indian Airlines, wo mir der "ueberaus motivierte, gespraechige, hilfsbereite" Mitarbeiter meine Bestaetigung fuer den 19.7. ausgedruckt hat. Weiss auch nicht genau was jetzt genau das Problem war.... !!???

... joined us on a boat ride down along the bank where the true spectacle is laid out in front of you like a living National Geographic article. At the far end we came to the smaller of the two cremation ghats. From the boat we saw the fires and bodies wrapped up laid out for the ceremony. Isobel did not want to get off the boat but Aidan and I took the chance to go and see at closer hand the ghat. I was fairly transfixed but from what I remember our guide explained that ...

... for local sewage (95% of its pollution is from this source). Apparently Dr. Misha met with President G.W. during his term, and there was a big article about his environmental efforts in the New Yorker several years ago. <br><br>* saw Sarnath, place where Buddha gave his first sermon. In the museum there it was very cool to see how depictions of Buddha changed as Buddhism was marketed to different populations throughout time ...

... They won't prepare or eat food during this time so many fast and the merits from the fasting are said to be magnified. A dip in the Ganges is considered even more beneficial during eclipse times when the rays from the sun are said to make the water even holier. We headed down to the ghats for a chai and to watch the Hindu fever grow to extreme heights and grow it did. The city of Lord Shiva was in full flight with an estimated 60000-70000 people gathering at the ...

... cows, cycle rickshaws and orange clad lads carrying staffs all streaming towards the river, it was more like a parade and we waved at everyone as they passed us by, you couldn't help but get swept up in the schemozzle (disorder resulting from a failure to behave predictably) of the scene. We cruised by the fruit and vegetable market where the produce was of high quality and we scored ourselves a couple of juicy, ready to devour mangoes, tis the mango season to be ...

... swim and bathe, to meet and celebrate life. We watched from the comfort of our boat as the sun rose and bathed the ghats in a soft, warm, orange light, maybe a holy light, at the stretch of the imagination? Our boatman, a friendly guy who spoke little English, grinned at us constantly through red stained teeth, a common sight in India, caused by the continual chewing of paan. He see us safely up and down the river, dodging the other boats and floating debris!<br>The ...
