The following day, Kulkarni did the unthinkable: took the day off so that he and his whole family could take me to Mysore. A famous city once ruled by the powerful Wodeyar dynasty that has a pretty crazy palace. It’s about 3 hours from Bangalore by car. Kulkarnis wife, preparing food. Then, of course, came the getting ready. They also stuck a bindi. I fel...

Adventures in Hindustan: Less camel, more monkey. Just another WordPress.com weblog. Brief) Reflections on the assassination of the Pakistani governor. The late Salmaan Taseer, governor of Punjab province in Pakistan, was assassinated earlier today by one of his bodyguards.

Adventures in Hindustan: Less camel, more monkey. Just another WordPress.com weblog. Sugar-Free in the Burning Sun. (Bangalore, concluded.). The remaining couple of days in Bangalore passed in a pleasant, if uneventful fashion. Kulkarni. Had discovered that my computer has a datacard, which gives me internet access wherever I am (though of questionable connection).

Adventures in Hindustan: Less camel, more monkey. Just another WordPress.com weblog. Like everything else that day, the going home was slow.

https://lesleyabad.wordpress.com/2010/12/30/jai-ho-again
Adventures in Hindustan: Less camel, more monkey. Just another WordPress.com weblog. Yesterday was a long haze of wandering about and slowly acclimating. I refused to nap in the hopes that I could beat the jetlag decisively and early. Judging from my crash this afternoon, not sure that was entirely successful. Yet. The Ladies Hostel (aka dorm) on CDS campus. Well, there’s tons more I can say, but I’m too tired to see it. If you don’t hear from me any sooner Happy New Year! To TrackBack this entry is:.

Was the first scheduled group outing. Deshpande is organizing one such group trip every six weeks or so, which is a nice way to make sure we see some of the important sites in the area. As one girl, Rene, noted with pleased surprise, we hadn’t killed each other yet. And while a small handful of us are pretty con...
