Don Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 Yup after two months and a bit, i m finally back in Scotland, just in time for India Vs Scotland at Glasgow. Absoultely thrilled the way our team has played in this england series, watched most of it and loved every second of it. India was fabulous, coudlnt have had more fun. Went to so many places Mumbai, Delhi, Mahabaleshwar, Panchgini, Khandala, Ahemedabad, Surat, Rajkot, Baroda, Jaipur, Marwad, Ajmer, Merath, Nainital, Massourie, Haridwar, Dehradoun and finally Goa. Virtually covered the entire Western India. (pics coming ur way soon). Travelled on a steamboat, strawboat, paddlerboat, elephants, camels, horses, buses (Ranging from Vovlos to Stat etransport crapboxes), trains, cycles, metros. Must've racked up over 10000 kilometers on the move. India was a great learning curve, having gone their now in my adolescence, unterstood the tradations, the eco-social systems, the fanaticism over small things, just the organsied chaos, sheer life of it all. It was simply terrific. Just a small word of congrats on this absoultely fabulous new look of ICF. Hearty congrats to all those who are involved in working with it all Ravi, Varun all the mods BB, Gambit, Shwetabh, Dhondy. You've really made this a stunning place, true home of a Indian cricket fan.

Predator_05 Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 Welcome home dude, good to see you posting again. Went to so many places Mumbai' date=' Delhi, Mahabaleshwar, Panchgini, Khandala, Ahemedabad, Surat, Rajkot, Baroda, Jaipur, Marwad, Ajmer, Merath, Nainital, Massourie, Haridwar, Dehradoun and finally Goa. Virtually covered the entire Western India. (pics coming ur way soon)..[/quote'] Wow ! That is one hell of a trip you had. Exhausted ? I'd definitely be. How long did you stay in each city ?
Predator_05 Posted August 11, 2007 Posted August 11, 2007 hmmm' date=' welcome back.. did u bring Indian mangoes from India??? i am asking this cauz of one of my american friend went to India this summer and he brought Indian mangoes.. hence asking..[/quote'] How did he do that ? A friend of my parents' packed a few boxes of mithai and some mangoes, but he was told by the security staff that he couldn't take them on board with the carry-on luggage or even get them checked in with the cargo. He had to leave them behind. But then again...this was at IGI in New Delhi; where the staff are always rude and love to p*ss around with you.
Mandrake Posted August 12, 2007 Posted August 12, 2007 Wow...must have been a fascinating trip...you should write out a blog or something with pictures so that we can travel vicariously:D
