... souvenir, the salesman kept telling me, "you are rich. Buy more, buy more!" I'm sure my husband will appreciate my restraint in politely refusing, but I got to thinking- why does that pinch my heart a bit to hear this man tell me how rich I am? In the States I would laugh- rich?! I'm a teacher, for crying out loud! I shop at thrift stores, I live in a modest townhouse, and my closet is full of Payless shoes. But, for real, I am rich. And then it ...

... giving the throngs of people there a super eerie glow. I felt uncomfortable as hawkers constantly approached us (mostly children) trying to sell lights and other toys. I don't fear for my safety at all (and I don't go out alone) but I do find walking around in public to be much more intimidating than I did in Russia or Ecuador. Still trying to find my bearings... You'll notice my hot new outfit, called shalwar kamis (sp?) in the group photo. The lady in the white sari in ...

... the industry as a whole is expected to face challenges. "After the election results, the sentiment will improve significantly, giving confidence to corporate, investors, and public at large. Though, it would not have any direct bearing on the demand off take, investor confidence would be boosted," says Anshuman Magazine, CMD of CB Richard Ellis, South Asia .

... tuk to take us to the Tanzania Embassy, and got all 8 forms (two of the same form per person-no carbon paper) filled out along with 9,200 rupees (about $276.00). This Embassy was in stark contrast to the India Embassy in Singapore that frustrated us so much. We were the only ones there and the Indian man behind the glass was pleasant and helpful. The only thing that bothered me was that they kept our passports and our airline tickets. I feel somehow naked ...

... a world record that night and about twenty five of our group showed up. They quickly called the cab company and rented a minibus instead of a van. I was really surprised to see everybody at the gate and they all came in, and got little VIP passes. It seems like everybody had a good time. We played a song, and then of course they had to bog it down with a bunch of meditation stuff, which was funny. Everybody had to put their arms over their ...

... control, there is a case to return to lower interest rates. Liquidity can further be infused with RBI bringing down key policy rates. Only when liquidity becomes available, can we talk of affordability, he explains. This cannot be done in one stroke or artificially. Verma says that there should be a growth impetus, with impulses in various markets like the money market, capital market, gilt market and ...

... Dehli! We learnt our most valuable lessons within the first 3 hours....do not trust anyone! From stepping of the plane to eventually getting to Hotel Namaska we managed to get ripped of twice spending a full 20 quid, enough to last us the week! Once we got Namaska, (after weaving down the busy back streets to avoid being knocked down by a tuk tuk or getting in the way of a stray cow) I found it ...

... for next day. In meantime emailing/txting Gisele, trying to figure out exactly where we're going in a few days. Our final destination is Bodhgaya, but thinking about going to Varanasi on the way. See how it goes. So what am i doing in Delhi? Trying to forget i'm in Delhi! hehe and gonna have to find a way to shmoke despite the fact that my room is literally next door to the Chabad house! Wish me luck! :P ...

... left him and he had nowhere to go. The police tried to help him get home but he only knew the name of the village and apparently there are many villages with the same name. So he ended up living on the streets by the train station, like many other kids. Apparently, most kids are sexually and physically abused by the older kids within 24 hours of living on the streets. They also sniff white-out, form gangs and other things to try and take the pain away. Well, this ...

... Travelling with about a dozen others on an Airbus 320, capable of seating about five hundred people, we took off from Bahrain before landing in Dubai, twenty five minutes later; just down the road in Middle Eastern terms. To their credit, the staff still managed to serve up a light meal and drinks in the ten minute interval between ascent and descent. We flew low over Dubai, low enough to see the neon signs advertising restaurants and night-clubs. It looked like the kind of place where ...
