http://indianbells.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
A Royal Rajasthani Reawakening. Monday, 26 April 2010. Adapting to the heat. My new family say they are surprised how well I'm adapting to the new climate, the heat and a new environment. So how do I survive the heat? Monday, 19 April 2010. Party wear, dress shopping and child marriage. Wednesday, 14 April 2010. How to make Mama's chai. Chai is integral to Indian life, especially here in Laporiya, and from what I can work out, every cook has her (round here at least, it's usually a woman) own signature s...

Indian Bells: May 2010
http://indianbells.blogspot.com/2010_05_01_archive.html
A Royal Rajasthani Reawakening. Monday, 31 May 2010. Three things that made me smile today. I wasn't in the best mood today- the electricity has been going off at 3am each night so I wake up boiling hot and move outside to the day bed at 3 in the morning and start the day exhausted, it didn't come on today until the afternoon so the pump wasn't working and therefore no water and to top it off I'm not feeling well, with a sore throat and ironically a cold. So here's what happened today:. Last weekend I we...

Indian Bells: Back where I belong
http://indianbells.blogspot.com/2011/01/back-where-i-belong.html
A Royal Rajasthani Reawakening. Wednesday, 5 January 2011. Back where I belong. Saying a final goodbye to my Indian family was emotional, with a small crowd of GVNML staff and family members waving me off from the fort, having plastered my forehead with red tilaks for a safe journey.

What struck us most was the segregation between men and women- often we had to leave my Dad outside bec...

Indian Bells: A long trip east
http://indianbells.blogspot.com/2010/10/long-trip-east.html
A Royal Rajasthani Reawakening. Friday, 1 October 2010. A long trip east. An exhausting, sociable trip that left me with a bad cold from the climatic changes but a greater understanding of India and the vast differences between east and west, north and south. The best bit was catching up with friends again after 6 months and seeing what other people’s placements were like. 23 October 2010 at 02:24. Http:/ raphaelsouzza.blogspot.com/.
