Go Fissssssssssssh!

Warning: This post is not for the faint of heart or those easy-to-be-queasy. It is, in fact, a posting about a bunch of dead fish. Millions of pounds… of dead fish. Read on at your own risk. So when I…

July 7th is “Make a Wish” Day

I’m up here at 3am… oh, the joys of pre-jetlag. Up early and ready to roll — I’ll be dragging tail by this afternoon. I had a couple of hours before I leave for the famed fish market and thought…

“I want to make big hug with you”

Best proposition I’ve had in a couple of years… 🙂 I continued my worldwide tour today from Jaipur, with this newfound “celebrity status” still intact. I took a picture of a 14-15 year old boy atop a camel. An hour…

Agra – Home of the Taj Mahal

Had to lead out with this. It may be one of my most interesting snaps yet. (And I know the nephews will love it…) No worries – I was safely tucked inside my car and thankful for a reasonably powerful…

Homesick :-(

I must give Delhi a chance – but it definitely has a different feel than Bangalore. I’m in the Connaught Place area – a major business/retail district in central Delhi. It’s a busy hub of activity, from street vendors to…
