Birla Temples
I think you wud have found this out by now .. birla temples are a unique string of temples built in major cities. Their architecture is hindu but the concept is that they house the many deities that the various ppl in india pray to. Its a representation of the tolerant tradition that india follows.

Nov/Dec stories please!
Dearest Lorna - thank you so much for a most entertaining afternoon supping tea and reading your adventurous accounts. Can't believe it's mid-December and I hadn't read your blog till now. Truly inspirational to hear your news and views. Your descriptive powers are awesome, I feel like I've been to Bundi, sat in a rickshaw and eaten Indian pistachio ice-cream, just through the pictures you have painted. It's also been great to share the odd text and snatched phone call - it makes for a warm paradox where you're in deepest India yet 'down the road' too. The Ruddies must be with you by now, and Jess on her way too, also makes it feel somehow normal that everybody's in close touch. Look forward very much to hearing more stories. Lou xxxx

Rudkins on the way ?
Ah, the crazy walking twins should keep you company. But be careful, if they go all Michael Palin and want to tackle Himalayas make sure they where more than a pair of flip flops. D

Hmmm
That's one thing you see in any country west of Paris, women doing all the actual work men hanging out like Asbo teenagers. And of course they'll want their tea on the table when they get home too. I'm moving...

Your arrival
Lorna dear, trust you. No slumming it for Mr Henderson by the sounds of it. No back street grimy hostels for you. I suppose that would be a mistake anyway esp in Inida. OOOH the glitter as you say! Sounds like you are sooooo organised and having a wonderful time. I will def be keeping up with your blog and was sorry to have missed your farewell in London.

Arctic conditions
Hot showers weren't discovered by everybody in the rain forest....hohohoho and all clothes were worn at night!!! Rather like Romania is at present... It was amazing up in the mountains - a fab introduction to southern India - and the stand off at the bus ok corral in Madikeri was legendary...Hendo is a master negotiator - it's in her blood! Jxxx
