Again, you deliver a wonderful view into your journey. For certain, your Nandiness is an attraction that is alluring. How could you not be stared at. I trust that this adventure will enrich us all as you continue to let us savor India through your Nandi lens. Sending loving thoughts to you and your family. Can’t wait for the next entry. Carl

I know, I’m freaking out. I might just go and stand in a crowded place cause I feel lonely.

AAAAAAAAAAAH once again you capture my imagination… the visuals are wonderful, they bring me closer to the subject.
by the way, i don’t think folks were marveling at your blackness… i am sure as usual it was/is your nandiness.
good work… keep allowing us to puruse your journal

What a gorgeous apartment, It is so open and spacious, and will never be really cozy but you don’t want cozy in India anyway. I think closing your eyes if you aren’t driving is the best bet. Amazing how it all works.
When we went north of Rishikesh we ended up in a village where the women were very shy and there I was all alone at a table where we ate. My friend had gone for a walk. A man stared at me, I was the white round being, the opposite of you and different too. He came closer and closer and was almost in my face smiling. I finally put my hand up and asked him to stop. My friend arrived soon after. I don’t know if he thought I was a loose woman because I was alone in the cafe. It was the only strange thing that happened to me like that. Maybe he was nearsighted. But you got great photos. I am so glad the boys are fitting in. They usually do. Some more than others. I remember how the girls all began really reading in the Dominican Republic on location because they couldn’t understand the TV or the Radio. It was a positive experience. I just love these letters and anxiously await each one. Ginger

Hi Nandi,
I’m from the class of 82 (Lowell) and Cory Domino posted your link on his site. I couldn’t help but respond to your post, because I was in Kathmandu and Pokhara, Nepal for 2 months with my two kids (ages 14 & 5) August-Oct 2011. The memories are still very fresh in my mind. When you wrote about the 5 lanes of traffic, I just laughed. Because if one hasn’t ever visited that part of the world one cannot imagine staying in a place were there are no traffic laws enforced, period. I enjoyed my stay but the traffic was unbelievable.

Hi Nandi,

I love your marvel floor. The view is beautiful. I must say that it would be frightening for me to get out in the traffic. It seems that every thing is all coming into place. I love the pictures and appreciate you sharing.
