| 14th August 2009 Uncle Fred | Tarzan - From: Summer living By coincidence I mentioned Tarzan last week during my Methods class as a reading favorite of mine in 7th grade (the conversation was about middle school English Lit.). I also recently discovered my old Tarzan collection sorting through all our basement boxes. Tarzan connections in these two weeks is auspicious and significant. I shall beware people named Edgar or Rice or Burroughs. Great pictures and words. |

| 28th February 2009 Loretta | Hi Meaghan - From: Oh how time flies! Hi Meaghan, Glad to hear that you are safe and sound at your final destination. The scenery sure is beautiful. Keep us abreast of your experiences during the next few months. What a wonderful way for us to learn about this country. Take care, Loretta, Tom and kids |
| 27th February 2009 Elaana | wow! - From: Oh how time flies! Wow, Megs, everything seems amazing! It's really cool to get detailed info about your newest adventure. I'm curious the wall you refer to is that the same as the fence? I believe I saw it in 2006. When you mentioned the Wall, I thought of Jerusalem and then I realized you're no where near there. The more I hear about your trip, the more I want to go! :-) xoxoxies |

| 9th November 2007 Injun_in_US | Great blog - From: Chennai to Tirupathi & Back Again Hey - great blog. Your positive energy is very apparent in your writing. It's too bad you were told you can't enter Tirupathi. Hinduism, if you will observe the past and present, has been so exclusionary and inclusive at the same time. You will see that the religion's theology is all embracing, but its rituals and practices can exclude people. This whole non-Hindu bit in major temples of India seems to be a reaction to what goes on in other religions' important places of worship - but that is also a cop-out. I don't see a problem with a non-Hindu wanting to enter a temple - I wonder if the argument is that a non-Hindu's irreverence can be found to be offensive for Hindus? Would Christians be offended if there were non-Christians walking around the Vatican with hands in pockets and looking curiously at Catholics paying their respects to the Pope? The same question applies to the Muslims and Mecca. Should Hindus, Christians and Muslims be so insecure with their religion so as to deny entry to others? I guess insecurity is the best possible answer for this attitude/policy. I have to tell you that a lot of Hindus have a chip on their proverbial shoulders (and in many cases rightfully so) - for they feel that the Mughals and later the Victorian Brits did all they could to malign Hinduism and portray it as negatively as possible. I think they now don't want any more judgments passed on their practices and take draconian measures - which is what insecurity begets. That's my $0.02 - do let me know your thoughts on this. Don't you find this experience in Tirupathi in direct contradiction with the otherwise hospitable nature of India/Indians? I'd appreciate an email response (alpha_q_m@hotmail.com) when you have a few minutes. |
| 21st September 2007 tracy | - From: First Steps Please don't give the children anymore money...you are actually doing them a dis-service in that respect..because they have to give it to the "man in charge". Instead, what we do everyime we are in India..is we buy a package of crackers and bananas..give them food!! They are hungry, and at least they will be able to eat, instead of giving the money away. Namaste! Tracy |
