nycank, great stuff, keep it comin'....lots of good articles/resources, ferreting them out is a job in itself, much appreciated! Guy really captures that part of south India, painting a vivid picture in the mind's eye. Tamil Nadu: indeed beautiful, sleepy, ancient, bustling, colorful, and so much more...
And now my good friend Abraham Varg

My tip is: Always let your airline SMS you news about changes, delays and any thing that impacts your travel. This way, if there is a delay or cancellation due to weather or mechanical, you are not stuck at your home airport, or if on the road, your minimalist airport with unheated floor and no space to sit. Being at home or your hotel/pensione/host's house, you can work the special number from your cell phone.
