With acceptance comes relaxation.

great line that. india and indian philosophy to a great extent is about the said acceptance.

A point of critique at IM if you will: He had clearly stated so at the very beginning of his original post, that he would keep updates there, not at IndiaMike. Now that the post has been turned into an article, this information has been edited to be largely missing, except for an oblique notice at bottom that the report has been "also posted" at that address, and not identified there as being his blog.

Whereas this would seem to be vital information for anyone wishing to follow his sojourns or wondering what he may be up to, as evidenced by all the "calls for more" on this thread too. Moreover, I'd say that by his own clearly stated intentions he rather "also posted" it here, not the other way around.

i read that and visited the website, but expected the same to be updated in IM also........... the link to website may change in future, but if we have the whole blog as IM article it will be better

That, of course, is up to the OP. From his blog I take it he's just on the road and having a good time, I can see how that would work... not wanting to bother with too much hanging around in web cafes and posting of your adventures to all the forums you happen to follow That's where a blog comes in handy, for all your lovers and interested parties and so on.

But hey, maybe he'll be back here later and post his stuff. Would be nice, yes, of course.

Thanks for all your comments. I was having fun in India indeed. I posted some stuff when I felt like it, but after a while "life" took over and writing texts was not that important anymore. I might gonna write a summary on my blog in a few weeks.
By the way: my experience of Delhi when I came back after 2 months of travelling was completely different. I enjoyed that place very much then. Actually I kind of fell in love with Delhi. Strange, isn't it?

You can find some photos of my trip here:

Lars,

Great photos. I enjoyed looking through them immensely and brought back many fond memories of the kids in Almora district for me. I hope you are making a living from your photography. You have a good eye and the love for your subjects comes through.

Best,

Scando

Very much enjoyed your Delhi article. I'm planning on going to India for the first time in November, and I think you've given me a real sense, even if it is only a small sampling, of the initial, potential disorientation and possibilities.

Now I'm off to read your post on Varanasi,

Thanks,
