(78) New Delhi

Posted on February 24, 2024February 24, 2024

One aspect that stands out about India is its intense heat. Upon arrival in Delhi, we rented a room on the top floor of a three-story building. After ascending the stairs, we placed our belongings in a corner of the sweltering room and laid down on the bed. Even the bed itself felt hot. Despite…

After spending hours of admiring beautiful carpets and extraordinary inlaid marble, our ‘free ride’ with the tuk-tuk driver was finally bringing us to our desired destination.

They Thought It Was Funny The bang lassi we had prior to boarding the bus worked wonders as we entered a deep sleep. I said sleep, yet it was more of a state of unconsciousness. As a result, the journey to Agra was smooth as silk. We didn’t feel any bumps on the road. The…

(68) Hampi

Posted on September 15, 2023September 14, 2023

The Ramayana The Ramayana is an ancient Indian epic composed in Sanskrit by the sage Valmiki sometime in the 5th century BCE. While the basic story is about palace politics and battles with demon tribes, the narrative is interspersed with philosophy, ethics, and notes on duty. It’s a beautiful story and well worth the read! Having read the Hindu epic Ramayana, we…

(67) Raid on Om Beach

Life was good. We had moved into “Om House” in the jungle and were quite friendly with our landlords. Although we seldom saw her husband, Sukuru, Showme would come over and smoke a beedie with Donna.
