Would that be the game where you 'accidentally' skipped a phase because it didn't suit the cards in your hand??

You seem to have developed a fascination for effluent, don't you think it is about time you widenend your outlook? Keep your eyes on the road you may end up with thicker soles! I won't mention the obvious about a pat on the back. Dad xxx

Love the pictures
I am an amateur photographer from NZ. I was recently in Varanasi and took some Photos on my first SLR. I was pretty happy with them cosidering I hadnt even used an SLR before I got to India. However after reading your blog and checking out your photos I have an extra encouragement to improve my skills, also upgrading my camera! Thanks, Nathan

I know, cool wasn't it? I loved the way the cows just wandered across, as if they were out on a daily shopping trip... so India!

Good Time
Jono It was good to see you and spend two weeks with you. Mum and I had a good trip home especially on the Shimla to Kalka train where we were in conversation with three young ( 6-10) Indian girls. It was hard to say goodbye again for a longer period this time but we know you are looking forward to the next part of your journey. We are both of the opinion that we will not be visiting India again! Keep safe. Love Mum and Dad xxx

tiger
Hey Caz, good to hear from you! How are things? We were pretty lucky seeing one, although on our second drive we tracked a mother and 2 cubs for ages, but the safari was cut short because of a local pilgrimage - boo!! I'm going to try to see more at Royal Chitwan in Nepal!

signage
Hi Raman, I've generally found travel around Indian cities fairly easy, but I think the main difficulties I've faced have been at railway stations. It would be extremely helpful if there could be a sign in english (and other foreign languages) telling tourists where to go for assistance. As most stations don't have a board listing the train number and platform in anything other than Hindi, it can sometimes be difficult to find out basic information to catch a train. As for cities generally, the complete lack of road signs makes things difficult! In England, every single road has its name on a board... without this, and particularly in old towns where roads are narrow and confusing, navigating can be difficult. But chaos is what people come to India for, so maybe it wouldn't be a good idea to make it too easy!!
