What's It to YOU?

Categories , ,
We've been here for about three months now and things have become routine (which is not to be confused with boring). As such, I've hit a bit of a wall (creatively) of things to blog about (I mean really, who wants to read about how many times we went grocery shopping in one week, or view yet another picture of a cow). Therefore, I'd like to start something new.


I'd like to open this blog up to questions and things you, dear readers, would like to read about. Whether its technical stuff such as:
  • How do we get from place to place?
  • Where do we do our shopping?
  • What exactly does an Indian bathroom look like and how does it function? (What? You know you wanted to ask!)
Or if its something more "thought" worthy such as:
  • What do you think about the "women's quota" in Indian Parliment?
  • How do you negotiate being a first-worlder in a third world country?
  • What's up with dowry deaths?
I'd be more than willing (happy even!) to answer your questions in (hopefully) thoughtful blog posts. And hey, if you'd like pictures of something (or more pictures in general) let me know and I'll rove about the city with the camera at your pleasure! Leave a comment to this post, or contact me via email or facebook. 

Hope to hear from you soon!

I personally would like to read more thought worthy posts. I enjoyed the posts you wrote about the bureaucracy of getting a place to rent and surrogacy. More of those, please!

dude what IS up with Dowry Deaths? I've never even heard of it. Is it women off-ing themselves OR men pulling a blue beard and off-ing their wives?? Or perhaps something completely different.


also i kinda wanna know if you've been having to pee in a hole in the ground lol.

Hodgepodge and Miscellany

The land of dreams and romance, of fabulous wealth and fabulous poverty, of splendour and rags, of palaces and hovels, of famine and pestilence, of genii and giants and Alladin lamps, of tigers and elephants, the cobra and the jungle, the country of hundred nations and a hundred tongues, of a thousand religions and two million gods, cradle of the human race, birthplace of human speech, mother of history, grandmother of legend, great-grandmother of traditions, whose yesterday's bear date with the modering antiquities for the rest of nations-the one sole country under the sun that is endowed with an imperishable interest for alien prince and alien peasant, for lettered and ignorant, wise and fool, rich and poor, bond and free, the one land that all men desire to see, and having seen once, by even a glimpse, would not give that glimpse for the shows of all the rest of the world combined.
- Mark Twain

In India, I found a race of mortals living upon the Earth, but not adhering to it, inhabiting cities, but not being fixed to them, possessing everything, but possessed by nothing.
- Appolonius Tyanaeus

If there is one place on the face of earth where all the dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest days when man began the dream of existence, it is India.
-Romain Rolland
