I don’t yet have a good enough understanding about Indian culture to write those sort of things. Plus, I can barely sit though a saas-bahu serial, let alone write one!! ;-)

Hey…I must say you look beautiful in the photo on the header..
Bumped on your blog through “Mahendra’s” article….
Glad to know that you feel happy and contented in India even without many material things.Thats the very essence of India..
I wish you a very happy life here…

Love,
Mugdha

Thank you so much, Mugdha. :-D India certainly has taught me a lot.

The photo on the header is from an advertisement I did while living in Kolkata. They wanted a foreigner to dress up as an Indian. It was a foreign exchange advertisement with a slogan something like “we exchange foreign into Indian”. ;-)

“We exchange foreign into Indian” , sounds very ambiguous. ;)
So Mugdha,
Did you get Mugdha (infatuated) looking at Sharell’s picture? :D

Have a even very great enjoyment here… ;)

Fantastic depiction of life in Mumbai. I just came back from Mumbai, and had such a great time. Things have improved since my last visit in 2001, but still a way to go. Wish you well trough water cuts and men behaving badly. Would love to visit soon.

Thanks so much Jay! ;-) :-)
