... in my laughter and I had to make him stop. Raju, the masseuss, said that it's normal and that everyone laughs. We then had chai in his shop and he showed us pictures of his family. The Indian people are always so welcoming and want to share their life with you just as much as you want to share yours with them. After that, I sat down with some little kids and taught them how to make paper airplanes. I worked so **********e and blew on ...

... appear on the third day of the fair. We will spend three nights at the hotel. We visited the Camel grounds where the herders are camping out under the stars. This is one dusty dirty place. It is hard to breathe. At the worst of times, I wear a surgical procedure mask. It helps. others are wearing bandanas. <br><br>The town of Pushkar is a beautiful city of pilgrimage. It sets nessled in a small valley ringed by ridges. It normally has a beautiful lake as its centerpiece. This year ...

... India for me, with him. It's hard for him to understand, last night I tried to explain that I worked hard for that money, he took offence, as if I was accussing him of dishonesty. Maybe I was out of order. You know you'd think that being from India he's understand the value of money, and what I mean by that is that he'd know you have to earn it. But I'm not sure he does. He hasn't worked in two years. Sure he's cut down on the charris, and the gambling. But that's different from ...

... Persians), where water channels ran thro&#8217; the building. Beaded curtains made from grasses also had water trickling down them from water channels above, which aided guest cooling when the wind would gently blow the cooler vapours thro&#8217; the grasses.<br><br>I managed a peek into the Summer Palace, which also had lovely inlaid panels/mirrors, and saw the nearby dance area on the roof, where monthly family dances (ie for the M&#8217;a and his 12 wives and ...

... of their homes and walk with us thru town. In very short order we were traveling into the dark with only stars to light our way to who knows where? We finally stopped and get off (more like almost fall off) and wait as we wonder what is happening. Two of the three men disappeared into the dark and returned sometime later with sticks, branches and dung for a fire they started. Food (or their version) was cooking in no time and gone as we ate in the ...

Delhi and it's chaos is left behind. Ahead of us we saw the fabled pink city, the colour of which symbolises hospitality (the Maharaja had the city painted to welcome the Prince of Wales in the late 19th century). As we got off the Shatbadi express train, we were welcomed by a hoard of rickshaw drivers, and eventually found a friendly guy to take us to the guesthouse. However, we were to encounter the famous pushiness (and libido) of the Indian male. A blonde walked ...

... the opinion that India is like a mgnifying glass for human existence, where all of the beauty, good and joy as well as the ugliness, evil and desperation are magnified tenfold. Here it is truly no sin to be rich and even priests need to make a living, and a good one if they can. It is not so talked about and would be generally frowned upon in the west (with the exception of the Vatican perhaps) to seek material as well as spiritual wealth, however it has been and still is common ...
