It was a wonderful trip with all the sights, smells and colours that people had promised. I must admit that I’m not altogether unhappy to be home, what with quiet, space, silence, music and a sedentary base-of-actions. That said, I will be keen to pick up my pack again soon and get trekking or vanning.

Thanks to the people who responded to my correspondence; it was nice to know that some folks enjoyed hearing random tales from the subcontinent. The only thing that remains to be said is I now have a decorative Sitar sitting in the corner of my room, the reasoning being that even if it’s never played it will still look cool in any abode. And for $240 all told, it was too hard to pass up.

Bahut Maja Aya!
