I can’t believe I am actually eating curry, and loving it, Anna Spanner would be well impressed!;-) So arrived in Mount Abu about an hour ago, much to the dismay of all my new friends in Udaipur….who couldn’t quite figure out why I wanted to go to a honeymoon spot? Trying to explain to them …

It’s all in a smile!
(I simply came to use the Internet and the “Evil tailor” opposite lured me into his shop again. Walked out 10 minutes later with another new pair of pants, at the discount rate of RS200 – Just for me!!! He knows I’m leaving tomorrow so I will have to take a detour so as not …

…whirlwind…..and thanks….
What a manic couple of days….I am finally in Mumbai, and not really sure where to begin….. My last weekend in London: incredible and hectic, ….basically just spent it catching up with friends and sorting out the last bits and pieces. After a week of getting to bed at 1.30 am every night I finally …
