My Subcontinental Journey: Note Strikes Back
http://ahcarney.blogspot.com/2009/02/note-strikes-back.html
A log of my travels for the next year in Varanasi, India. Monday, February 23, 2009. Dear people who are having a wedding across the street,. I give up; you have won this uneven and unjust war. I bought ear plugs. Dear everyone else,. I've decided to take this as a gift. I will be happy about the really great amount of loud music that plays until 3 AM in my room. In fact, wedding season ends in a mere 3 weeks. 3 weeks! That means I only have 3 weeks left of 24-hour, conscious time!

That's the equivalent of an American Airlines flight leaving 5 hours early and turning into a giant pumpkin or something. That shit never happens! It was insanity. Anyway. Moving on. His name is Simon and he's a photographer who takes some pretty awesome photographs. There are even some photos of my very own Varanasi on his website. Including that cheerleader on TV, three. Weird. Anyway, so dinner was niiiicce. Thanks for rea...

A log of my travels for the next year in Varanasi, India. Wednesday, November 19, 2008. Bihar is beautiful in the springtime.maybe. Last Wednesday at 10 AM, my brother's flight landed in the Varanasi airport. In tow, he had two pairs of Gap jeans for me, six T-shirts, one friend from college, and one bag (half full) of Reese's. He had already eaten the first half, which no one could blame him for, and I surely did not. Don't even. And the pillows. Jason: Kitna sumay lugega? How much time will it take?

A log of my travels for the next year in Varanasi, India. Tuesday, October 28, 2008. However, before the puja, I was put on the task of painting little feet throughout the house. The paint was made of spices and water and we had to put little feet in every doorway. They were so cute and tiny. In the next post, I'll put together a bunch of pictures from the night. Post puja we went outside to set of fireworks, and I stepped on a sparkler(just like that time in 4th grade. Remember, Mom? A dead dog: 2.

First of all, I didn't have to take a rickshaw to her house, because she met me at the station with her driver, Saiid. We went back to her totally swank apartment where I was shown to my own room and. Bathroom. Right as I walked in I smelled something familiar, but I couldn't tell what it was. Katrein then said, "Oh, the bread must be ready, one minute," and then took out bread from her bread machine. Roundabout 7 we w...

http://ahcarney.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
A log of my travels for the next year in Varanasi, India. Saturday, January 31, 2009. Questions Lost in Translation. After that lovely experience, I ate lunch by myself. I watched dozens of children running around the sizeable courtyard, and watched a few groups of boys watching me. Spilling some rice on my dupatta, I then watched myself being laughed at. It was a touchingly reminiscent of my life in 5th grade, and I really appreciated the opportunity to go back. Then, a few boys came up to me. School fi...

Disclaimer: I'm sorry, but this post will inevitably be sort of lame. Except the monkey part, which will be awesome. Aren't you already sort of excited to read about it? Saturday started out with me "waking up" (I say this mostly in jest, because I was awake the whole night PSYCHE! At seven o'clock, putting on a kameez with a dupatta. Where are the waterfalls?
