In a couple of hours I will be driving to the airport and boarding my plane to India. The last two times I went I was very small so I do not remember much at all. At age 17, I think I will be able to fully experience everything there this time a round. I will be gone for a month, so I guess it will make life easier for you guys since you guys wont be bombarded with questions for a while ;D.

In all seriousness, I will have access to at least one computer over there, so I might drop by every now and then, but I am going to try and not use technology as much, need to experience India, not technology :D

Goodbye for now guys, try not to forget about me ;)

Hehe, I would rather say "Welcome to India", than wishing a goodbye. After all, you are coming to my country.  :) ;)

 Have a nice time Arman... Bring plenty of sun-block, and please.... don't try to pet the "big kitties" ;D

Have a good time, and yes don't worry about the tech stuff. Enjoy what you can when you can.  ;)

Arman,

Hopefully you can give Anurag a call.

I am sure he'd enjoy playing a bit of cricket with you...

If your not sure how to play it, watch "Laagan"; it will teach you all you need to know.... :P

I've never been much of a cricket fan, watched Laagan, and never really got into it as other people did. :P  Unfortunately, I waited up until the last minute to pack up and forgot to ask Anurag for his contact information, oh well, maybe next time then :D


Im going to rest up today, the 20+ hour trip back here really takes a toll on your body, tomorrow I'll put up a "few" pics of my trip.

 Yes it does... I just spoke with my sister who returned from Italy this past Tuesday, and she is still a bit tired for the trip.
 Can't wait to see those pics ;D

Here are a few pics, in no particular order :P

*My grandma's house in Nurmahal*


*Found a interesting plant near our house ;)*





*Harmandir Sahib a.k.a Golden Temple in Amritsar*








*Manikaran in Himachal Pradesh*


food being cooked by steam, you will not find any fire at all in Manikaran, there is
a story behind it, but it is fairly long and I am not very good at telling stories :P





















--------random but beautiful pic of mountains on the way to Manikaran Sahib


I got a few more pics I should put up, but they are of family and friends and all that less important stuff ;) , so they can wait.

Very nice pics, Arman.  :)

Thanks for sharing them with us.

Gemini on July 05, 2008, 11:23:57 PM
 Hey Arman... those are some great pics, thanks for sharing them :)
 Glad you had a nice trip, your Grandma's house is pretty. Also glad you had a great & memorable time and glad you made it back home safely.
 All makes for a really nice trip, I would say ;)

Thanks for your comments guys, the trip to India was a great one, but I've learned my lesson to NEVER go back there during the summer ;D
