    So if you haven’t heard the theme of this trip has been Lucky. We now have 5 on this trip!

    There was the driver to Amritsar, Luckwinder Singh.

    There was the suit (desi) salesman Lucky Bhatia

    There was the brand of drinking glasses called Lucky

    There was a server at the breakfast restaurant in Goa named Lucky

    And the fifth one you may ask? Me! One of Nana’s sisters thought I (Manjeet) was named Lucky. Will we see any more?

  • !!BREAKING NEWS!!

    Flight to Amritsar cancelled! Our correspondents say it is likely because of low visibility in Amritsar and the family is scrambling to resolve this issue. More news coming soon.

    Update! After walking to security from gate 60 we received permission to pick up our bags… from gate 60 so we went back and… went back to baggage claim! We traveled roughly 2 miles according to google earth. We are currently waiting for mother to sort out a hotel and our upcoming travel to Amritsar.

  • Nepal day 2

    Monkey as seen in Lalitpur Durbar square! It was climbing on power lines before sitting here.

    This is a wood carving of a Hindu deity (I don’t know which) dating back to the first century AD (if I remember correctly). This was in the palace at Lalitpur Durbar Square.

    This is one of the oldest temples in Nepal at Lalitpur Durbar square

  • Morning 3 in Indore

    I peeled an insane amount of oranges (Santra). Some were green on the outside but were ripe which I found weird. Dad and I were laughing at the pop tart bowl on twitter (not X). I’m on my first coffee and first chai of the day while I eat enough to please everyone while waiting for the second course of breakfast.
