Hello Vince!
Hi! I'm an Indian. I live near Kolkata, It's eastern part of India. I've really enjoyed your blogs. I think you've spent a time time in India. Would you like to come here in future again? Thank you for sharing your experiences with readers. Warm regards, Pritam.

Hi Vince, I don't know you, but I am glad to know that you, Heidi and Mattius are OK, quite an experience... The most important thing is that it had a positive impact on you, you will never see life the same way ever again; the everyday things that used to annoy you, will only make you laugh from now on. Take care and keep on writing!

To be honest with you, I am a bit surprised to find people other than close friends and family from home actually reading my drivel. Glad people like it though, and its been nice to hear from you and others like yourself. How did you like Haridwar? Thanks for your comment, Regards, V

Namaste, Vince I am from South Africa and have been reading India travel blogs since 2005 when my husband and our two daughters went on pilgrimage to the River Ganges in Haridwar BUT your blog on the bombings is THE BEST by far!! Thank you for sharing your experience with us - God Bless and Guide You Always.

Extremely powerful writing. I found your blog by looking at the latest blogs released and saw yours was from Delhi. I clicked on it because I was there back in March. I almost didn't read it because of the lack of photos but I'm glad I did. The descriptions and emotions you evoke of the bombing is superb. Could've been in a book. Thank you, and oh, enjoy the rest of India!

OMG!
Vince -- you were SERIOUSLY not kidding! I am sooo glad you are still alive! You must have a few guardian angels absolutely worn right out! Stay SAFER from here on out! Of course there is no way you could have known it was going to be this bad - and you tried to do everything you could to ensure a safe ride -- can you imagine if it had been a vehicle with bald tires! Take care - Kelly

Oregon Trail
Yikes! That shot of the headstone reminds me of when you die in that old video game, Oregon Trail. "Here lies Vince, he died of dysentery" Glad you made it out in one piece, and shocked you didn't throw out the driver and drive the SUV yourself!

Re: Ashram/Buddist meditation course
Am so jealous...I wish I could experience it all with you! We'll have to stay at an ashram for a night or two when I'm there (please :-)

Assuming that you will be coming back to Delhi don’t miss the following Qutub Minar , Humayun’s Tomb , Red Fort, Jama Masjid , Lotus temple ,Akshardham Temple and Lodhi Gardens. The first 3 are unesco world heritage sites. Akshardham is the largest Temple complex in the world . Lodhi garden is an oasis in the middle of the City - A wooded park littered with archaeological ruins. Lotus temple is a lotus shaped marble temple similar to the Sydney Opera house but larger. You can visit Red fort and Jama Masjid in Old Delhi by taking the metro from Paharganj to Chandni Chowk and walking to these sites .All the other sites You can visit by hiring a full day taxi or autorickshaw . Ask your hotel to fix it up. A taxi should be a round 800 rs and an auto around 300 rs.

Coming to India again
I, without a doubt, will return to India. Sadly my trip is getting closer to being finished, and I haven't covered half as much ground as I initially planned to. Looks like Kolkata and the east coast will have to wait until my next visit. I am chilling out in Goa for the next few weeks before going back to Delhi, doing some shopping, and then heading back to Canada. I will likely be home sometime around the middle of December. I have really been lagging behind with these travel blog entries, but I have been invited to the wedding of one of the brothers I was visiting out in Punjab next year, and I gave my word that I would be there. I plan to take some extra time and see some of the west coast next year when I make that visit, and then sometime in the next couple of years I will do another journey like this one, except see more of the south and the east coast of India. Anyhow, glad to hear you like to read what I write. Take care! V
