hi there
hi, I'm a design student and an architect here in India and I'm researching on the problems that tourists face while finding there way in Indian Cities. Please mail me your comments, ideas, observations on this. I'm based in Delhi and this research is for the improvement of signage systems in the city. Thanks Raman

Were you coerced to travel to India?
After reading your very ungracious entry, I was left with a picture of a grumpy, small-minded person who should stick to his comfort zone and familiar environs (donut shop indeed!!!) and not bother travelling or commenting upon the culture in other countries. Please do stop moaning and leave my country at your earliest possible convenience.

Hi!
Hi Ronny, I think Pondicherry sounds lovely! Must have been quite a nice change from the crowds, smog and big city atmosphere of Delhi. Are there any campgrounds where "The "Fam" could set up camp for awhile? I LOVE a good beach town -- especially one with pastries and mojitos. We all miss you and think about you often! Take Care, Mama Ho

keep writing--as fast as you can
I've caught up on your blog, which I’ve thoroughly enjoyed. It’s part travel log, part diary and part Indiana Smith (that’s a takeoff on Indiana Jones, get it?). But let's cut to the chase--how are the Indian chicks? I kid (no, really, what do you think?). You’re an engaging writer and it’s fun to see a man unfold. I doubt you’ll return the same person you were before you left. Milk this experience for everything you can and make ice cream. Keep documenting it. (BTW, are you keeping a backup of your blog? Websites can crash. At the very least, copy and past your posts into a word processing document.) What do you think of the people? Have you experienced Indian hospitality? Have you made friends with any of the locals?

Descriptions
Ronny, I love the way you write of your experiences. You always have a little phrase or comment that allows your own sense of humor to slip through the narration. Thats what I love the best--it gives me that little glimpse of the city through your eyes. It makes me feel like I am there.

Um
Please elaborate on cold bucket showers.... Just kidding. Putting yourself in the shoes of others (despite how uncomfortable it may be) for the sake of learning and understanding is incredible. Miss you lots and keep emailing me. Love, Sis

thank you
I love hearing about this fascinating country and I especially love the photos. You made a comment about trying to get used to the constant "in-your-face" poverty. Is that even possible? Is it just that you see it so much you are no longer shocked?

Great Photos!
Hi Ronny, Thanks for sharing these photos. What a beautiful temple! Rob and I were at your house on Friday night and your mom and dad were telling us about your adventures so far. We even got the map of India out to see where you are right now! Make sure to keep a journal of all your experiences!! Love you and miss you, Mama Ho

Can't Wait to See You
Ronny, I have so enjoyed reading your thoughtful and detailed blog entries. What a life-changing experience you have had in India. That happened because you were so willing to take in all that the country and its people had to offer and allow yourself to be vulnerable to the varied emotions that resulted. I know that you have grown in immeasurable ways during the past six months. "The Fam" can't wait to have you back in the fold. And I know Jessy is so looking forward to coming to see you and exploring with you. XXXXOOO Mama Ho
