Come to think of it, the ordinary is always extraordinary.

Swathi and Monts, thanks.

Crystal, I woulod love to see your photographs. I know there is poverty in the US, and I have seen it in the few places I have been to in Europe but in India it is too glaring, staring in your face kind.

2006-04-21T21:26:00.000+05:30

Mridula, you would be surprised! There are beggars & homeless on the streets in the U.S., there are tons and tons of street vendors everywhere (especially near tourist sites), and once you get out of the large metropolitan areas you see poverty out in the open. Humanity is pretty equal and consistent on all levels, but in Europe the gov't gives out Welfare to keep people off the streets. I love the street vendors, they always are there when you need them, for example selling umbrellas when it rains and selling water on a hot day. I'll try to get some photos of them here in D.C.!

I am glad you liked it Shruthi.

Nice snaps! Commonplace, familiar sights - and that makes it all the more interesting!

2006-04-21T11:44:00.000+05:30

OK, I hope you would be able to upload the pictures sometime. I wonder if I will ever come to the US, though many of our friends and even a few family members live there.

Teri, thanks, thanks, thanks.

Ganga, me keeping fine, the teaching has ended for this semester but grading remains for one one exam. As soon as it is over, life would be perfect, as perfect it can ever be.

50 paise for a glass of water (though watch out for the medical bill after the glass of water)....lolzzz

2006-04-21T09:02:00.000+05:30

mridula, your pictures are quite wonderful! They're always so real, instead of the glossy, polished travel photos one usually sees - and they are so much more interesting, too!

2006-04-21T07:43:00.000+05:30

I had all those pictures on my other computer. My daughter took it w/her & didn't save them for me. I'll get some from her.

I bet you'd love Venice Beach. It's a suburb of L.A.

2006-04-20T23:33:00.000+05:30

Right L>T, but somehow I never associate such images with the US, I have never been there (though my husband has) and I always imagine it as the land of plenty! If possible post a picture of the place you talk about.

Illogical, thanks, you maintain quite an interesting blog.

Flygirl, and is the Melbourne Gaylord as unaffordable as the Delhi one?

Pooja, thanks for the nice words.

Quaminante, no idea about the name of the restaurant. And I loved your post on Libia.

2006-04-20T21:56:00.000+05:30

I love to travel vicariously through your photos. I wonder whether the name of the Gaylord restaurant is intended to refer to Gaylord Hauser, who was a "healthfood" (I think, largely vegetarian) fanatic long before these things became fashionable - might explain the foreign clientèle. It is a good job there are blogs like yours to keep me up-to-date on Indian placenames..!

2006-04-20T03:33:00.000+05:30

Mridula, I think its wonderful that you have an eye for these little things. I have been to CP so many times, but looking at your pictures is a whole new way of looking at things.

2006-04-19T19:51:00.000+05:30

I esp. like the pictures of the street vendors. Reminds me of my trip to Venice beach, California. There is a long board-walk on the beach lined w/street vendors. Amazing what people can come up w/to make a little money.

2006-04-19T15:53:00.000+05:30

heheh! there's a restaraunt called "Gaylord" in Melbourne as well! Maybe it's a chain no one knows about..

love the tidbits of Delhi.

Great pictures, Mridula!
