Indian Diaries of worldly and streetsmart travelers

It is official, just bought a ticket yesterday: I will be in India (mostly Hyderabad, but also back to Kerala) from August 13 to September 14! That's a little more than 4 weeks, woo hooooo!!!

GREAT !!!

Hay Dag,

So u r visitng India during Monsoons. Most (in)famous seasons of all..... Beware of the tons of water that will be falling over your head... :wink:

Here are some tips from a fellow Indian.

Ok! Umbrella is no help. Raincoats are useless. Try wearing cotton cloths. Once wet they get dried off quickly.

If you are in metropolitan cities then traffic wouldn't be a problem. If you are leaving the hotel and have plans to travel, then you can hire a cab for spending a day or two when stuck in traffic. This way your hotel expenses are saved. So Check out, everytime you leave the hotel You never know when you be back.

Was that scary? Dont worry. You will find me somewhere in the traffic too.

I envy you, monsoon season and all.

My clear green eyes whisper that perhaps just 24 hours of monsoon season would satisfy my yearning for the monsoon variety of exotic.

May you reap the cool after the rain.

Thanks, vinsan, I'll certainly keep that in mind. You are in Mumbai, correct? Dunno if I'll make it there, but if I do, I'll certainly holler. Super G, will you be getting your exquisite behind to India during that span of time at all?
Who else is in Hyderabad? Sakhi, if I'm not mistaken. Perhaps also Spidergal?

Great!!!!

No Dag, I'm in Bangalore....

Welcome once again...the monsoon is in full swing here...It's pouring in Kerala...not too sure abt hyd though...

Unfortunately it looks like that my exquisite behind will be in NY, Brazil and Argentina during that period

When Clary and I were in Bangalore in November we had the possibility of seeing Spidergal I think it was but she had an accident involving a scooter taxi and got her dress torn or muddied so she had to call off. So we never got to meet her. Shame. Hiya Vinsan, how's it going? We have got some nice Kerala summer weather here now, so I'm using my bicycle a lot.

Hiya Prince G, you seem to be moving that e.a. around the world quite a bit. I envy your stamina. Greetings from me and Fiona.

<sigh> could you pack me?

once you're a teeture, we can get you some mediation training, and you can come meadeyate with us!

There's a thought! Lesley even offers mediation courses.

can you take it during your time at lesley, or would that be extra? it's fun, and very useful for ANY teeture, i'd think. perfect for brushing up communication skills. and pacifying the little bastards.

I think it'd be very useful in any part of life. We get one elective which we pick as a cohort. It'd be extra.

Or beefier ones.

I've got my mediation certificate around here somewhere.

I should do something with it, other than store it.

<snort>!

fat chubby juicy ones
wriggly squirmy wiggly ones
pesky little bastards...

what are u talking about??

students

Mommy, my grade-school teacher called us 'little bastards'. Mommy, what does 'bastards' mean?
