So as luck would have it, I came down with a cold on Tues­day night.
And with the Sun­feast around the cor­ner, you can imag­ine how frus­trat­ing that is for me. Any­way, I thought I would ask for some home-made recipes to cure a com­mon cold and I got some very inter­est­ing responses when I posted […]

I had an oppor­tu­nity to sam­ple some great Parsi fare a cou­ple of week­ends ago. I had read about it in a news­pa­per and archived it for future ref­er­ence. And then when we were look­ing for a place to eat in Indi­rana­gar, I sud­denly remem­bered my archived ref­er­ence. I went there for the first time and then the fol­low­ing week­end : that should tell you a lot about how much I liked the food!

The train­ing for Sun­feast is on! This is the Kanakpura stretch where we go when we want to do uphill stretches. This time we did a 4k stretch down­hill to start with. And then we come back the same way, except this time it’s all uphill :-)
Believe me, it’s not happy thoughts on your mind […]

The weather was hot and balmy. It was our last day in Ker­ala and we were look­ing for­ward to spend­ing the night on a houseboat.

On my pre­vi­ous trips to Ker­ala, I’ve only got­ten within drool­ing dis­tance of a house­boat. It’s a rather expen­sive propo­si­tion. There was one time when Steph was down from Switzer­land and we did some sight­see­ing on a small boat, and then went around in a lit­tle canoe (that was fun!).
