namaste!* 

That's "Hello" in Hindi.

Am pressed for time, and in the wake of the Delhi blast as well as the train derailment news, I thought maybe I should drop a quick line to say that I am doing fine. And that I am quite safe.

It has been 10 glorious days, 7 more to go. We have covered Delhi, Agra, Jaipur, Pushkar, Udaipur and now I am in my second night in Jodhpur. Tomorrow we head to Jaisalmer, another town which I cannot remember the name and thereafter a 10 hour ride to Delhi on 4th Nov for a night. Next, we fly to Chennai for 2D1N and then, it's back to home.

What can I say of the trip so far? Hmm, let's see...
o The architecture here have been mesmerizing and I believe I have enough pictures to share when I return.
o Shopping is great. I've gone bonkers with the accessories!
o Every 10 men I meet, 3 are handsome and 1 of them would be salivatingly yummy. My eyes are having a feast, unashamedly I tell you. Heh.
o Amitabh Bachchan has been a wonderful host. He greets me daily on Cadbury, Coca-Cola and many other billboards and posters on the road. So have Hrithrik as well as Shah Rukh. Haa.
o Food is good. But I miss the Seapark's assam laksa, Puchong's prawn mee, Jalan Alor's cockles, PJ State's duck rice, Bangsar Pasar Malam's chee cheong fun, Wong Poh's butter cheese crab...Sigh! 10 days of spicy food for breakfast, lunch and dinner has taken its toll on me. I always thought I have an Indian stomach, but now I announce defeat. My white flag's hanging high from my belly button.
o I missed my Smokey so, so much.

I would love to write more, but my stomach is churning.

Be well. Over and out. :)
