... rental companies in coimbatore and found very good reviews about them too. So we decided to email them on the mail id provided in their website and got a response pronto. They were reasonable and sounded very professional so we decided to hire the minivan from them and they suggested that we be put up in the jenny club and do a local sightseeing trip for a day. Jenny club again was such revelation. It is one of the best clubs that i have ...

... sizes, it India, you will find what seems like one of a kind clothing. I did not see duplicates on anything. Also, you can buy clothing in outfits that are premade, just pieces of outfits, or just the cloth to get the outfits tailored (this is my new favorite option). Also, an outfit here (meaning a sarwar kameez) may only cost around $6. And if you buy the fabric and get it tailored, only $8. Amazing ...

... We were sitting with the guy who had bought the tickets for us and were talking about the irish cricket team (everyone knows Ireland here because of that). It appears the man had put us down as his "kids" 9which meant our tickets for the 4.5 hrs + journey cost 12Rs (=24c) for the 2 of us. We offered him 50 but he only took 10 (ref: Indian way) Big thanks to the teenagers for helping us also (ref: Indian way) After a bit of a squeeze in with yer mans family ...

... in a bamboo raft that gets pulled across and then we disappear into the forest. It's just the three of us. We notice that all the other guides have shotguns, and we're somewhat concerned that Dhijan doesn't have one. I can't say that I've ever been nervous about someone NOT having a gun, but I figure we'll be ok. And hope. And wish that I remember the names of all the shrines that we passed on the way up from Cherai. I bet they'd come in handy when being up close to a tiger or ...

... workstaff are always eager to lend a helping hand (although communication can be quite difficult)...Julie and I got away with paying less than $10/day each at this resort paradise, but the message we took away was priceless: life is too short to stress and slave away; work is necessary but family, love, laughter and relaxation should always come first. We are now in a small town near the entrance of Wayanad Wildlife Sanctuary. Hopefully tomorrow we will ...

... sensation was familiar, and not uncomfortable. At last! Cool again! So scouting the town of Ooty, I did my normal. Found a lodge that did not look in tip-top shape as the resorts are always too expensive, and went in to make a bargain. 200 rupees, the woman said. I countered again with 80, and finally we settled on 100, and that was a room with an attached bath. Not a very clean room, the pillow must have been stuffed with concrete, and the mattress was not much better, but ...

... ie Primary Enrichment. First among these was perching or climbing branches ...there wasn't any or they were simple metal angle irons or concrete reinforcing rods. Wholly inadequate. At a guess branches have been tried in the past and the parrakeets chewed it, it rotted and fell down etc. Practically every one of these exhibits needed just branching. Everything from primates to peafowl could have a change of life with just a few hours work. At the same time the appearance ...

... prices in the US!), not to mention losing his own labour on his farm. The stories we heard from the other farmers were generally the same; the eminent domain law requires the government to relocate any displaced persons, yet in many instances these people are poor, illiterate and otherwise uneducated farmers who are living on a subsistence basis. The land they will be relocated to is unusable for farming, and these people know nothing else. In many instances the land being ...

... stay with Chaya's sister in Maryland should we ever be interested. And one of the most exciting things (which directly contributed to the purchase of a sari) ... we're going to a Hindu wedding!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am so excited and will have so much to write afterwards. I also woke up at 4:30 am Monday morning to go watch the Superbowl, which I could care less about and actually slept through. However it was a lot of fun to just be able to relax with my friends in a non-academic ...

... to realise what was happening, that in India, the shaking of the head is an acknowledgement instead of just meaning "no". We soon picked it up though. After an uneventful flight to Chennai, we met up with my friend Sucheendra Visvanathan, aka Suchee, and he introduced us to his uncle, Shan. It was then that I was subjected to the first thing that completely amazed me about India. This is something that claims countless deaths every year and even more injuries ...
