[Image] As far as the interesting meter goes, it is hard to beat the area south of Gurgaon called Badshapur. Every time I go there I find something both fascinating and a little bit off the radar. Also, and more importantly (for the purposes of of this blog anyway), I have yet to get killed for poking around there. This time I passed a guy smoking a Hookah (also called a shisha). I pulled over and said "Ram Ram" hoping that, since the guy was older and we were in a village, he might warm up to me for using this way of greeting him. I think it worked. This does not imply, in any way, that the same may hold true for the future. Which goes to show you, it's better to be lucky than good. At any rate, Ram Ram. [Image] About Ram Ram: RAM is a reincarnation of Lord Vishnu. RAM RAM, by extension became an expression used for greeting and welcoming....human beings. Nowadays, Ram Ram is mostly heard in the countryside, where tradition is strongly alive.
