Itinerant Londoner
After the last couple of years I figured I was pretty fit for hiking. I’d prepared for my round the world trip with various hikes in the UK’s national parks, culminating in a nice 26 mile day-hike through the Yorkshire Dales. Then climbed to over 3,000 metres for the first time on Volcan Santa Maria in Guatemala.

That’s what a Bombay High Court judge proclaimed recently, when hearing a case challenging the power of Brihanmumbai Municipal Council (BMC) cleanup marshals to fine offenders that dirty the city. The troublesome issue of spitting has again hit the news in Mumbai for a number of reasons. According to this news report , during the six months from July to December 2011, the BMC collected a whopping 2.24 crore rupees in fines for spitting. At 200 rupees a fine, that’s around 1.1 lakh (110,000) people fined for the offense. However, there are many more people who spit and get away with it.I love getting letters in the post because they’ve become such a rarity. Especially if the address is written by hand and there’s postage stamps stuck on the envelope. Unfortunately handwritten ‘letters’ bearing news and affection from far-off friends and family have become almost extinct.

Mumbai Magic
- By Aishwarya Pramod My college, like a lot of other schools and colleges, organizes a ‘Traditional Day’ every year – a day when everybody dresses up in ‘traditional’ clothes, dances, eats good food and takes lots of pictures. So why have a Traditional Day? Is it to celebrate our varied traditions? OK, that seems like a legitimate reason, but honestly I don’t know if it makes complete sense or not. Traditions change, some die out, and new ones are created through foreign influences and local changes.Our Delhi Struggle
If you’ve read Delirious Delhi , then this essay is essentially an epilogue: a postscript about the expat’s post-India life, and what it’s like to have lived in India and miss it so very much. I spotted the Indians entering Denver’s Botanic Gardens about fifty feet ahead of us. It was their clothes that got me excited: both ladies in the family wore saris. I nudged Jenny with excitiment.
Today’s guest post is from Tia of National Geographic’s ExploretheCanyon.com I may not be the most tech savvy person around and sometimes take an almost zealous pride in resisting change – took me awhile to box up my collection of audio tapes , and even longer to replace my trusty old film camera with an endlessly upgrading higher-pixel digital camera. I feel that post-processing photographs makes you a good graphic designer and not a good photographer. I feel that my 6 year old Godson should be as fascinated by his pop-up books as he is with his mom’s iPad. You can therefore imagine how my travel plans would’ve looked like, and how much weight in my backpack would’ve been dedicated to tomes and printed words about the place that I’m traveling to.
