Hah, we breed the buggers!. Like Frankenstein's monster coming back to haunt
the good doctor, these bearded monstrosities lurk in the shadows around us.
Our rulers are disproportionately scared by the hairy ones, yielding to
their slightest whim.

Indian food is great, except for their penchant of adding "Asa Foetida", or
Hieng as the spice is called in the local lingo, to everything. The
"Foetida" sort of gives away the basic essence of this spice. grin. It is
supposed to have miraculous healing properties, therefore I expect to return
a healthier (albeit smellier) man.

I am planning on heading to the old colonial stomping grounds of Missoori, a
hilly region where the brits hung out when the heat got to them, and maybe
swing by Agra and Taj Mahal on the way back. Been there, but it really
deserves a second (and third and fourth) visit.
