Jitu Bhai, welcome back you were MIA and so much has happened since you went missing.

So CM when are you joining up, you get to learn and earn - isn't that called killing two birds with the same arrow.

Learn some good new dishes and then next time when I am in Delhi we can have that along with your bread and cheese and wine What a feast to wait for

jitu is right, while adding yeast for bread i for experimental sake added some yeast to bater of beasan meant for making pakoras. May be these pakoras were culprit.any way i feeling recovered now but have missed the train to haridwar in process.
Yog with accuprresure has instant relief capacity i am convinced today.

Is there some train called ranikhet express or is it same as nanital express.i was just seeing a thread on chandhni chowk.

Well he mentioned wine and wrote sake but not the sake you are thinking of. But I wouldn't mind going to Delhi for that sake if CM was making it

Hi Guys,
Just got back to England about a week ago after a long trip (over a month) in India.

I'll write a feed back once I have settled down in normal life. It is so hard to get back to normal life after such a wonderful holiday. We spent 11 days to do the Char Dham tour including Gaumukh trek. I wish we spent longer...

We have found Gangotri-Gaumukh trip quite hard but EXCELLENT. The weather was absolutely brilliant. I remember a number of IM members suggested that the route was not difficult. We found some parts of the route was quite dangerous and in fact on the day we were returning from Gaumukh (11th Oct) one guy from Kolkata fell to his death.

I have taken lots of photos through out our trip. I’ll post some of the photos once I have sorted them.

I like to thank all of you who helped me plan our unforgettable trip.

I'll be sending my photo link soon. Too many photos to go through and can't decide which one to post and which one to delete.
