Pictures of India

Monday, March 19th, 2007

I wanted to share with you some pictures taken by a fellow passenger on my recent trip to India.

John Patterson took the following wonderful shots on the extended version of the tour I went on, which also includes Moghul Highlights as well as Rajasthan.

John and his wife Kay are extremely keen walkers, and John even leads walking tours in the UK. He has a great eye for ‘photos’ and he kindly sent me through these great pictures.

Anyone for Chai?

Wednesday, March 14th, 2007

This is the second part of my interview with Ramesh and I decided to talk about one of my favourite topics: Food and drink!

Now, I’m a great lover of Indian food in the UK. As are most Britons, considering Chicken Tikka Masal was voted the nation’s favourite dish! India though, is a bit different, so this is intended as a an introduction, particularly to Rajasthan. Now, by no means is this comprehensive, so there is one thing I would add, try a little of everything, most food in restaturants is very good, especially those frequented by the locals!

The interview, as before, was recorded in the gardens of the City Palace in Udaipur, so apologies for the background noise, but you can tell it was recorded in India!

Any additional advice on Indian cuisine, let us know. I’m off to make some Masala Chai for the team.

Do you like the new header?

Thursday, March 8th, 2007

We thought we needed some of our classic images in the header so, we got our friend, Danny Wilkins, to put something together that shows a little bit of what we are all about.

What do you think?
