What a great turn out folks - looks like a terrific night had by all, and bad luck the 'boss' didn't make it on time. I can see many familiar faces there in the pics - happy New Year to you all!
Every cloud has a silver lining!

28th Feb is a Sunday and it is a day before Holi. Jaipur has a very colorful elephant festival on that afternoon at Chaugan Maidan in the old city. Colorfully bedecked elephants, camels, horses move in a medeiaval royal procession. Then there is elephant polo, tug of war between an elephant and all foreigners in the audience(They are in large numbers). This is followed by exciting folk dances, a play of vivid colors and then bonfires all along the street.
The next day(Monday) is Holi. Those who wish to stay indoors can do so but fear not because we will be in a group.This is a personal guarantee(upon my honour!, as the Rajputs will put it) Some of us can take our cars and the others can ride with us. If we have a clear head count we can reserve a decent budget accomodation. We return Monday afternoon.

I tried to call you but couldn't get thru.
Sorry Jyoti Da, I ran out of battery. Cell was on charge.
Life is a river; it is a road- a direction of energy waves and currents in our being that leads to more water of life, more space and tolerance and to higher pinnacles of love and understanding
We had a great time as well, thanks everyone!

Dear all,
I'll post a fare thee well here as I'm leaving early tomorrow. It has been an absolute pleasure knowing you and our little meetups have been the source of many good memories of India for me. Thank you all for the time, the talks and the memories. I'll let you know when I get into law school and, more importantly, when I'm coming back. Take care and fair winds to you all.

All the best to you Leila/Angelcarrot. You carry a bit of India in your soul and India carries all of you in her arms. India, your new home, shall wait to welcome you always. Come back soon. Meanwhile keep posting.
