    India. I know someone who was from Karela. He is an old man but he is a book writer. His name is Thomas Kala and currently resides in Leeds. He said that he got bored sitting on the Vranda. But did say that where he was, the kids would play in the clean river and there would be fresh mango trees that one could pick at harvest.
    Karela has electricity in some parts now, but last time he was there, they were reliant on candle light.

    The Indian people are very interesting. Usually friendly, the best place to go is Mumbai, then you can experience the modern Indian and the traditional Indians who still make their living on the side of railway tracks.
    Although illegal, it is apart of their way of living. Culture. Food, fantastic curries for sure but there are more dishes in India aside from just Curry.

    Additional: Mumbai is a City that never sleeps.

    It is gonna be waaaay to hot to visit anywhere in the south unless you wanna sit in your AC room all day...trust me!!

    and MUMBAI a Modern Indian city??? Well to some extent yes. It is an Indian city, and its modern, but that is one of the most British cities of them all...I'm not sayin don't visit it. If it's not too hot and you have the chance you shuld, but its more expensive than the rest of India, which is pretty damn cheap to begin with..

    anway, i really wanna know where you plan on going!!

    British people have much influenced India as we know it.

    It will be hotter than here probably, but best wear sandles and BUY bottled water.

    sounds like fun! I've run into a lot of travellers lately who'd been to India, they all loved it. I might go spend a few months there once I finish up some business in SE Asia :)

    I'm sure they have internet cafes in India too. So there's no need for Peace to stay out of touch. When I went to India I phoned my Mum once in two months, and that was my sole contact with the Western world.

    I can imagine Peace in a busy Indian cafe in the heart of Mumbai. The afternoon sun shining through handcrafted window panes. The drone of customers talking in their native language. And peace sipping on a nice hot cup of Indian Tea. Whilst surfing the internet.

    That only makes me feel more slushy, maybe write a poem about how much I miss Sal!
