Keeping My Promises
Last year I dined at Indique Restaurant, while treated to gorgeous views of Meherangar Fort in Jodhpur. The problem was, I was alone: So I promised the next time I would be back, I would bring friends. And almost exactly one year later, destiny would...
Returning To Jodhpur
Saying goodbye to Dharamsala with thalis and sunsets... And 12 hours later (via overnight bus) to Delhi... And a 1hr flight to Jodhpur. It's good to be back after a year. Jodhpur is the first place that I have returned to on this...
A Stressful Afternoon
Okay. I'm being a little dramatic. But I also haven't eaten in almost 12 hours. Those of you who know me well are probably amazed I'm not completely comatose. Recap of yesterday afternoon: I saw cremations. They were really really interesting, but I don't think I've...
Leh To Dharamsala

Splitting Up!
A quick change in the itinerary: Stephanie will be splitting up from the group and heading to Varanasi after being inspired by many stories about how awesome the place is. Anya, Joyce and myself will pursue the original plan that will lead us to Dharamsala by the end...
Not So Leh-Z Leh (Happy Birthday To The Dalai Lama!)
Despite the chill nature of the last entry, that was not to be for the next 4-5 hours. We climbed some rocks, we almost fell over, and we conquered the palace ridge. What made it harder was that the last 2 days we've been dealing with a few symptoms of the runs...
