Where It All Began (Part 2)

When Annie returned home to Aberdeen from her trip to India in 1927-28 we know that she and Rögnvald had fallen in love... but we know little about what happened in the following years, before she returned to marry him in February 1934. Frustratingly, no photographs or correspondence survive from that time, except a letter to my grandad from his …

The Longest Day Ever

My physical presence is back at home but my mind is still in Mungeli. I was not ready to leave on Thursday when we packed our bags and started the (not kidding) 40 hour journey back home, including one 3 hour ambulance ride, 3 different flights (2 1/2 hours, 9 1/2, and 8 1/2), another bus ride in London, etc. My heart is heavy as I think of all …

Indisk telefoni og vores tolke

Er lige kommet hjem fra et herligt måltid inde i byen, på hvad vi nok kommer til at kalde vores stamsted. Det er en lille punjabi restaurant, hvor der ikke er særlig hyggeligt, men maden er fantastisk. Det er kun anden gang vi var der, men bestemt ikke sidste. Det er nordindisk mad så de bager indiske brød lige inden man får dem serveret. Vi er …

Niranjan - The Personal & Family Side

Niranjan turned 31 years old on August 15 and has been my primary host while here in India.

Niranjan's wife is in Bangalore with her parents and expecting their second child momentarily - Niranjan is there now. I have …

Another crazy day in Vashisht

We had a appetising meal last night at Rainbow cafe again, only cost about 2 pounds !! so very cheap to eat here and its a very friendly and relaxed atmosphere, generally good music playing, (or you can plug your own ipod into the speaker system, almost like being in your own …

Thiksey/Stok

We catch a public bus to Thiksey, a monastery an hour from town. It's a hard day to describe, because so beautiful and because all the words I'd want to use to describe it have been used to death. Thiksey is more a monastic village than a single building. It occupies one face of a rocky promonotory rising out the valley floor such that when you …

Champaner and Pavagadh

We woke up fairly early this morning so that we could get to Champaner at a reasonable time. Champaner-Pavagadh is the medieval capital of Gujarat and has become a world heritage site. It continues to be a place of pilgrimage for Hindu believers. The bus was easy to catch and our stop was the last one the bus made so there was no way we were going …
