Self is amazed to discover that India reminds her so much of the Philippines:
Rest Stop on the way to Kasauli
People are the same everywhere:
Hindu deity Ganesh on driver's dashboard (Reminds self of the dashboards of Filipino jeepneys, draped with Santo Niño replicas)
At the Red Mosque in Old New Delhi, right after the Call to Prayer ended (People hadn't yet folded up their prayer mats. It was such an indescribable thrill to hear the call of the muezzin over a loudspeaker)
Here are my traveling companions: Sarah K is on the left, and Mrinilani is on the right.
Self must make sure to wear a scarf, wherever she goes. No telling when the yen will strike to enter a Hindu or Muslim temple.
India has "tuk-tuks" -- just like in Bangkok
New Delhi was blessedly cool: the tour guide Mrinalini engaged told self that October to February were the best times to visit because of the cool weather. Self thanks her lucky stars that she decided to try out India in January. (Earlier, a couple of people told her, it was much colder. Yes, she is lucky)
Stay tuned, dear blog readers. Stay tuned.
