Regards from a Malayalee in St.Louis. You are not helping me here. You are making me miss Kerala and it's idosyncracies by writing such wonderful travelogue and posting terrific photos.
Looks like you have enjoyed yourself. I am originally from Trivandrum, and if you missed the beaches this time, you let me know when you are going next, and I can give you all sort of pointers. (anilpillai@sbcglobal.net)
The most impressive photo that shocked even me was your Star of David with Hindu deities. In this current world, that kind of religious harmony is admirable, isn't it?
awesome I sometimes reflect on how awesome it is that you are able to see such far away lands. To think that just last week you watched the sun set on the Arabian sea.....it's pretty amazing.
Great inside view Thanks :-) I really enjoyed your visit to India! I can't say I know anything about India, but your pictures and blog definitely provided me with an inside look of India.
miser? unfortunately, the problem with giving money is that often that money does not go towards improving infrastucture, or in this case the lives of the animals at the zoo. all too often, donated funds go straight to he pockets of corrupt custodians. to call someone a miser, without even knowing them, is cowardly...how do you know whether this person doesn't give money to the beggars on the street, or has a charity that she gives to?
miser Its so sad that you tried to save 1$ when it would not matter to you if you would have given it anyway. How would a dollar matter to you? Then you complain of parks etc not being well maintained, thats just being hypcrit. You have no right to feel bad of that hippo lying in murky water, when people like you who are capable of giving money dont do and feel proud in breaking rules. You should be ashamed of yourself.
nice pics Pics are very nice. Not sure if your trip covered other newer parts of city like hitech city. Wonder where is such a beautiful meditation place.
Great work.
thank you j thanks so much for your lovely words about your experience. i look forward to all of your journals. it's sounds like you are adjusting quickly. i'm sorry i didn't get to talk to you before you left but i send all my love and hope you continue to have these amazing experiences!
wow Wow Jaclyn this is amazing. Love the one of the boys who made you take their picture. That one lil' dude has this real serious pose... fantastic. Thanks for posting.
salam! It's great that you set up this blog. I'll be following up closely. I hope you take lots of pictures from the 'Ashura processions. You should also see if they have the kinds of things I brought back from Iran (esp. the pics).
