... be a world of breathless images. I wanted to take good pictures and many of them. And I take many, many pictures, almost 2000 in just 11 weeks in India. I&#8217;m not shy to poke my lens at people. I ask permission of course, and often get it with enthusiasm. Kids wrestle each other to be center frame, while dignified old men repose, and women in bright saris or and young men pose for the camera. <br><br>Young women blush at the lens and rarely let me snap ...

... listened to music on mp3 players or played cricket or on the playground. There are two church services on campus (each in a different language) as well as services in the small towns around campus. I attended one in the outskirts of Hosur which was 70% in English and 30% in Tamil. The service was held in the ground floor of a small building, but at least 100 people were in attendance for worship music, prayer and a sermon delivered in both tongues. <br><br>All in, as my ...

... rupees petrol voucher, baba,&#8221; he answered with a smiling head-bob. Is there another shop, I asked, ready now for another round, and Mohammed beamed and revved the engine. <br><br>&#8220;Okay you tell them visitor,&#8221; he insisted, like a coach facing his team&#8217;s defeat, when we reach the second shop. We greeted the older Muslim men who stood in the doorway and the young staff inside, but there was one guy in the shop I recognized and ...

... to PraveenKumar at 6:15 pm. We were 55 kms away from Bangalore at that point. From here the traffic increased and the roads were bad. Finally, we reached NAL for dropping Siva&#8217;s mother at 7:40 pm. We packed food from Thunder Fried Chicken and reached home at 8:00 pm. <br><br>Maha Lakshmi Golden Temple with its beautiful landscape, scenery, atmosphere, greenish lawns and fine architecture all combined together makes it worth to pay a visit.<br><br>Cheerio till our next trip !!!<br>

... Eventually the men marched on dragging their four decorated camels behind them. Right when I thought the event was over and huge red tractor decorated like a float with thousands of neon lights and flowers and mini trash cans of fire (once again my mind went straight to RIOT) and music rolled up to the intersection and the whole thing started again but with different people. It was so loud that my house was literally ...

... are no cheap hotels in the area you ask to go to, and then they proceed to take you, against your will, to a hotel where they will get commission.  I knew he was talking ******** from the beginning and should have jumped out then, but I didn't and we ended up outside a hotel, which I refused to go in with the driver.  So we had to walk all the way back to where we asked to go to in the first place and managed to find a cheap hotel...it even has a TV!

... so shady. Our hotel, the Leela Palace Kempinski, is nothing short of awesome. Absolute 5 star. So much marble I can hardly believe it. Incredible bedding, service, large soft white towels, a terry robe and a silk robe. The good life. Considering that my body has no idea of what time it is, is sure nice to have such lovely accomodations. Our morning at the office today started off lovely. We had a ...

... in with normal India, but it is an exiting and vibrant place. We did a bit of shopping, most of our clothes no longer fit or have disintigrated. Treated ourselves to english cinema, Memoirs of a Geisha and Crash. The cinema is brand new, the reclining chairs were amazing, but half way through Memoirs of a Geisha the film suddenly cut out, the lights went up and a sign said "the snack bar is open"....an interval! For Duncan and I this is the first time we've ever ...
