13th December 2009 Aunt Tamara	Good to share - From: December Routine I have taken the liberty of sharing your adventures with my students. You have extended your reach too a few hundred more minds.
13th December 2009 ellen	shoplifting - From: December Routine last time I was in London I was wandering in Soho, and these bullet-bodied fierce men ran down a young gangly Jamacian boy, and took him HARD to the ground, rough and mean, and all the bystanders and the shopkeepers were cheering them on, and I yelled "WHY?" and they said "he probably stole something, Theif! Theif!" and I yelled loudly at all their righteous pinhead British selves "You Don't KNOW he did ANYTHING! You didn't see ANYTHING! Who do you all think you ARE!???" at the cops, too. Assholes.

25th October 2008 devin	courtesy Rick Steves - From: The 23rd of October i found out a fascinating fact today! if the average American quit working for the year on the 23rd of October, they'd work the same number of days of the year as the average European. pretty interesting!

I tried finding a youtube clip so Mom could get the reference but the only ones I found had all the CGI crap from the special edition— which made me too sad along the same lines. "Materially rich" unnecessary trappings clouding the original point!
Brendan O 18th October 2008 babamcrib	- From: Loads of Irish Well, the story about Mr. O'Brien is certainly true, and the English wrote the other one out of the history books.
17th October 2008 momma	Ireland, India and the Empire - From: Loads of Irish I think maybe you are dancing and singing and making up tall tales..... though it has been said "'Those Englishmen who know something about India, are even now those who understand Ireland best." John Stuart Mill 1868

Brendan O 9th October 2008 babamcrib	- From: first verbal interaction with Kolkata police I respectfully disagree, but I very much appreciate your reading of my blog and sharing your thoughts.
8th October 2008 Som	religion - From: first verbal interaction with Kolkata police I have been reading your points of views from your country as you explore mine. As per as religion goes,I feel its the worst thing humans created which divides them like nothing else. May be there was a requirement in stone/medieval ages when some wise (relative to that time, not now) men (like the messiahs) thought it would be beneficial to weave the uneducated and barbarian people in a fabric/group by the help of it, but in modern world (educated/enlightened with science) it turns out to be an absolute corrosive to human progress(as in science) as it does not match the intellectual standards of modern day man; and some evil minded people ( and some really stupid people) for power and pleasure (be it mental/monetary or any other form) have been taking full advantage. Most of us 'other mortals' just blindly follow the herd without ever questioning as we have seen our parents do the same and are too afraid to step out of the boundaries of non-reasoning.
8th October 2008 Sam	- From: how to tell if someone is truly poor in India Ha! I'm glad that the hat went to good use. Bellingham just isn't the same without you and you are greatly missed, but I'm glad your trip has been so rewarding- safe travels!
1st October 2008 momma	caritas - From: September Budget you are experiencing the essence of caring. you are responding to people as persons, seeing their needs you feel human sympathy and then act with helpful kindness. some will name this the divinely inspired virtue of charity, others will call it being fully human. whatever its name or source it gives meaning to life.
30th September 2008 benny bongo	got any blues - From: phased Go0od to read that yer still livin it up in the quarters of suddar street brendan.. Keep up the quality postings... It helps me to focus on saving my cash to head back out again and not to piss the sands of time onto the desert square trying to make it pyramidic. Om shanti...
29th September 2008 alex	nirvana and sadhu flip - From: oh, the places you'll go "in the pines" in india? one of my favorites, but that's just bizarre
26th September 2008 Sanish	A true experience of a traveller - From: oh, the places you'll go Well i really loved reading your post.. especially the "The three most interesting locals" part ;)) . Anyway before your next visit to India, do get all the info you need and also the best travel agents for each location from www.indiaroutemap.com
25th September 2008 momma	thankful - From: oh, the places you'll go so glad you recovered to return to Kolkata in time for Durga Puja. so VERY glad the Mother of the Universe did not show you her Kali aspect. Aum shanti shanti shanti.
18th September 2008 Pankaj	Hello from Raiganj - From: hello from Raiganj I was searching some thing about my home town and found your blog. Thanks for sharing those pictures. "Ruins of the Adina Mosque" is very nice.
12th September 2008 momma	particularly grand and elderly tree..... - From: August India Budget and the kid with my name was it a fig tree?
10th September 2008 momma	Ghandi on Ramanama - From: Left a good job in the city... "When a child, my nurse taught me to repeat Ramanama whenever I felt afraid or miserable, and it has been second nature with me with growing knowledge and advancing years. I may even say that the Word is in my heart, if not actually on my lips, all the twenty-four hours. It has been by saviour and I am ever stayed on it. In the spiritual literature of the world, the Ramayana of Tulsidas takes a foremost place. It has charms that I miss in the Mahabharata and even in Valmiki's Ramayana"
8th September 2008 momma	what a whim - From: train drain to travel from Shangri-la to the Burning Ghats....something like stardust to 'dust to dust'
3rd September 2008 momma	no wonder the Dalai Lama is exhausted - From: Mcleod Ganj Tuesday was the 48th anniversary of the Tibetan government-in-exile at Dharamsala in Himachal Pradesh.
30th August 2008 momma	floods - From: Majnu Ka Tila these floods are terrible and widespread. Project Concern International, UNICEF, Doctors without Borders, Save the Children and Catholic Relief Services are in the area working with local organizations and can take online donations.
29th August 2008 UB	GH - From: New Delhi day part du How bout, if Kolkata is Tacoma, then New Delhi is Gig Harbor?
27th August 2008 momma	may the ten toes of your feet steer you clear of misfortune - From: amar chollo Delhi safe travels dear one. don't trust anyone with nukes! we look forward to your coming home someday and singing to us. if you bring a wife bring plenty of goats too.
25th August 2008 momma	faith in humanity - From: quick addendum perhaps the confusion caused by ambiguity gives you more faith humans can solve conflict because the curious child was a Zen or Jedi master
15th August 2008 momma	- From: Azaadi har ek ki! "Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high; Where knowledge is free; Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls; Where words come out from the depth of truth; Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection; Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit; Where the mind is lead forward by thee into ever-widening thought and action- Into that heaven of freedom, my Father, let my country awake." RABINDERANATH TAGORE
12th August 2008 Anish kumar	observation good feeling bad ??? - From: bollywood and orange shirts Hi , i was reading ur interesting blog when i came to realise how bad u would be feeling having to see different prices on the same day for the same item at different places. as such people are not honest as they are supposed to be even to indians. it is a bargain of "how well u know d market price ?? " ,than what d actual price is ? U can always stare at the seller when u feel u r being charged exessively ,to ur discomfort, but thats the way things work here. A pleasant "hi " increases the price of ur purchase . Any way u will have a great emotional and wonderfull experience, if u r ready. luv. -anish kumar
11th August 2008 momma	orange shirt - From: bollywood and orange shirts young orange-shirted Kanwaria pilgrims have been known to get frenzed.

8th August 2008 alex	- From: food and drink i'm glad we share similar viewpoints on economic vegetarianism. how about "uncle o'reilly's tofu tapas and paneer palace." motto: it's only human to be consumin' our humane human cheese!
8th August 2008 momma	enchilada enchilada - From: food and drink you really have a hunger here, looks like you'd be willing to spend an entire day's usual allowance of food and drink money for this!
5th August 2008 Amy	goats grazing - From: attitudes of Indians and Westerners Good post. There may be some hope for us - I did see goats grazing a hillside recently in Seattle. Seems it has been "discovered" they do a great job on the weeds, blackberries....
5th August 2008 Amy	More men - From: (almost) one month's budget in India There may be more men, but are they "quality" men that you would want your daughter to marry? Just wondering....
3rd August 2008 devin	a phenomenal post - From: Lungi Madness way to be a rapscallion on two continents. sadly, i think there may be many more restaurants in seattle with more stringent dress codes than you realize, but they're the sort of places america's happily insulated middle class might never even hear about. be careful around temples for a while! and if i eventually understood your facebook post, i wuz woo too.
31st July 2008 Sonia	- From: (almost) one month's budget in India Sounds like you should become a nurse whenever you return i think you would find it very rewarding work.
27th July 2008 Travellers-Post	Interesting Reading - From: attitudes of Indians and Westerners Great, Neutral view of the Indian ways, except for the comment "Indians are very proud people, and do not enjoy being yelled at by gaandu ferangis" No one that I know of, talks of the foreigners (firangi) like that. Nearly always they are respected. Even the educated class respect them for the development that the British brought to the country. Of course arrogance and being yelled at is never liked by any people anywhere in the world! :) Indians have voted their politicians (Article in a leading Indian magazine) at the same rank as pimps, because of this very arrogance which they show toward the common man. You will be hard pressed to find an arrogant Indian (unless he is a government servant!)
25th July 2008 momma	Utterly helpless,trusting in God - From: attitudes of Indians and Westerners this blog will be disturbing for some. this blog made your momma happy and your daddy proud.
23rd July 2008 momma	maybe compliments aren't going to your head - From: the people i've met and the Lok Sabha but your spatial humor sense is playing tricks: nice post from "Hong Kong"..... Wikipedia says West Bengal has the most 'bandhs' of any state in India, up to 50 a year. The strikes last several hours to several days. The Supreme Court of India banned them in 1998 but political parties still call for the protests.
21st July 2008 Kathleen Knisely	nice clothes - From: back in Kolkata your clothes look like their for someone twice your size. I hope that you have fun back in the city. It's been great to read your about your happenings. we all miss you at the house of ellis especially when it comes to our two big cleaning days....uck.
14th July 2008 Amy Sparks	Hi from Seattle - From: wonderful day Brendan, I just found your bolg. Very interesting to read and see the pictures. I like pictures you should add more. (Either I am not very literate or extremely literate as a picture is worth a thousand words.) Take care. ; )
14th July 2008 Pritam	Hello Brendon! - From: countryside thoughts Its really kind of you to post positive remark in front of this blog. Yes, Caste system is a really big problem here. But unlike many parts of India (especially northern India) Dalits( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dalit)are not seriously abused by Upper Class (especially Aryan) in West Bengel. In Northern India where they are sometimes brutally killed by them. If you read local newspaper you might find at least one report in a week. The problem is India hasnt got a single eligible political party to run this country with ease. Not to mention about illiteracy, corruption, pollution, lack of minimal health service and so on&&.. Thank you very much for sharing these travel stories with us. Anyway, how long will you stay in Kolkata? Do youve any plan to travel rest of India? Im looking forward for your next blog.
Brendan O 14th July 2008 babamcrib	- From: hello from Raiganj ah Pritam, you should be careful when taking about the British in a positive light to someone of Irish ancestry! Thanks for reading my blog, I appreciate your comments and thoughts. Please look at this link: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7460682.stm
13th July 2008 momma	images of Jesus - From: countryside thoughts artist Jyoti Sahi sees Jesus from an Indian viewpoint http://jyotiartashram.blogspot.com/
12th July 2008 Pritam	Hello Brendan! - From: hello from Raiganj I've read allmost all blogs written by you. I'm an Indian. I've lived all my life here in Burdwan(60miles from Kolkata). I think your blog is the 'real picture' of India. Many thinks(who never been to India) that India means Software capital of the world, Outsourcing hotspot etc. I don't like many things and bad habits of Indians. Like cruelty on dogs and other animals. Anyway, Yes I agree with the moneychanger view on politics. Only one party should run the country. But I think British should recolonise this country and rule untill we will be a devloped country.
11th July 2008 Rachel Sparks	- From: hello from Raiganj Have you ever heard the urinating cab driver story from me or Sonia? If you haven't when we were in Manila, Philippines we were taking a cab to a house. We were stuck in terrible traffic. Our cab driver got out of his cab and peed on the side of the road, very blase and like this was nothing special.
11th July 2008 momma	Indian Music - From: hello from Raiganj when you get to a music store look for the score of the clarinet solo "Raga Music" by John Mayer

7th July 2008 Cousin Clare	Huh? - From: One week until departure I'm still learning my Indian(at least I think that's the language your using!). So what exactly does "Ami tomake bhalobashi!" mean?
5th July 2008 momma	- From: day tin the Mizo, people of the hills, >>The Mizo code of ethics or dharma focused on "Tlawmngaihna", an untranslatable term meaning that it was the obligation of all members of society to be hospitable, kind, unselfish, and helpful to others. Tlawmngaihna to a Mizo stands for that compelling moral force which finds expression in self-sacrifice for the service of others.<<	4th July 2008 vishal choudhary	i am enjoying ur blogs, plz keep it up - From: happy 4th of July i am enjoying ur blogs, plz keep it up, i am an indian in kolkata only. i wish u all the best in the city of joy.
4th July 2008 Rachel	Maybe the lack of sleep is why you feel enriched. - From: head first in the deep end Just kidding! Traveling in developing countries is deeply fascinating and forces us stupid Americans to reexamine how much privilege we have. I look forward to hearing more of your adventures!
3rd July 2008 momma	crows - From: head first in the deep end they are common house crows corvus splendens interestingly there is a band called Crows of Calcutta there in Calcutta and utube videos of India's crows people like them except last February when some dead ones caused birdflu fear
