Last Day in Delhi

With Agra and Jaipur behind me, Monday the 22nd was to be my last day in India. I spent the day in Delhi – both New and Old – taking snaps of the various sites. We began the day heading…

Dinner over the City

On this, my next to last night in the lovely city of Bangalore, my management team took me to dinner at a charming place called Ebony on the 13th floor of the Barton Center just off MG Road. A storm…

I’m all in STITCHES!

Yep — I got “stitched” as they call it here. I posted a picture on Monday of the man doing the beadwork at the Punjabi designer where I’ve been referred to get my skirt made. It’s amazing, really… I ran…
