bangalore rose: From Bangalore to Bangkok
http://bangalorerose.blogspot.com/2007/11/from-bangalore-to-bangkok.html
Friday, November 9, 2007. From Bangalore to Bangkok. That’s Thai for Hello my favorites! It’s great to be posting again – we just got back from nearly a week and a half on “holiday” and much has happened. On the minor details front, the paper on AIDS and Globalization was successfully completed – excellent! That night, we departed Thailand for Bangalore and arrived back at Visthar yesterday morning around 6 am. Public transportation – ridiculously efficient! There is an intense sense of pride and reveren...

bangalore rose: It's All Good In Hyderbad!
http://bangalorerose.blogspot.com/2007/11/its-all-good-in-hyderbad.html
Thursday, November 22, 2007. It's All Good In Hyderbad! The holy text of Islam is the Koran – it is written in Arabic and is considered 100% valid only when read in that language. Reason for that is scriptural interpretation, interpolation, speculation is not tolerated. I remember when my mom came home from a Community Education class armed with an English version of the Koran. Pretty cool, huh? She’s my hero! Sufism – this is the mystical dimension of Islam. Rumi the poet was a Islamic mystic&...One day...

bangalore rose: Holy Cow!
http://bangalorerose.blogspot.com/2007/11/holy-cow.html
Friday, November 23, 2007. Here’s to a world of pure imagination! After a 2 day visit to Delhi and the Taj Mahal (how wild? Bhagiratha, an ancient king’s grandson, is upset about a curse put on his family’s land during the time of his forefathers. He goes to the Hindu god Shiva and says "Lord, why are we still cursed? We have been saved! To this day, the Ganges continues to wash away the sins of the people and dances as a goddess on Earth. Maybe my strong feelings towards this place are because it’...

My semester in India! October 6, 2007. 8212; Kelly @ 9:23 am. Sorry for making you wait for an update-the internet has been really sketchy and we’ve been busy! Kerala was INCREDIBLY gorgeous! We stayed at WSSS, an NGO smack in the middle of the hills, surrounded by lush, green, misty rainforests! We were drenched with sweat by the end of it, then attempted to walk a half-mile or so back to our car in pitch-darkness, barefoot in the mud again. I sliced my toe on a rock and ripped a fist-sized hole in ...

My semester in India! Sunrise on the Ganges. November 20, 2007. 8212; Kelly @ 10:00 am. Hey all, this should be pretty short and sweet. Our trip is going really well so far, we’ve been to Hyderabad, Delhi, and we’re now in Varanasi. This morning we got up at 5 and walked down to the Ganges River(! And went on a couple hour sunrise boat cruise down the river. it was unreal. Tons of people were bathing and doing all kinds of rituals, offering water to the sun god(s? I’ll try to sum up the trip so far.

My semester in India! Goaaaa October 21, 2007. 8212; Kelly @ 4:38 pm. Well Goa was. interesting! First though, I’ve got to tell you about Octoberfest and our little adventures in the week before we left! So Octoberfest wasn’t anything the newspaper had cracked it up to be, there were some hippies selling some of their clothing and jewelry, a really loud heavy metal band on stage (pretty random? Apparently 13 hours really means 20 hours, I’m not sure how it ended up being an extra 7 (! Hours than expected...
