Bangalore...again...:-)

This is really a nice city...a good vibe to it and I could walk endlessly if it wasn't for the pollution! It is so thick with smoke sometimes that my heart goes funny :-(

I went back to the same hotel again, the Empire..I felt comfortable there and it's also very central plus I can eat inhouse - they have one of the most popular restaurants in town, they serve both veg and non veg food - I have heard that they have the best Tandoori chicken in town - I don't actually fancy having a portion myself, but it looks quite appetizing and fresh. I have spent these 2 days here walking around, doing some shopping and talking to people. Yesterday evening I had dinner with my gorgeous Kashmiri friend, Imtiyaz. He is teaching me everything about the pashminas that i should know and also about the Indian and muslim culture. He invited me to eat last night - so sweet - and I really enjoyed the evening. Today I went for tea in his shop, spent a couple of hours again talking about Kashmir. Then I had my "last Thali" for this time...buuh, with a plain naan - just as I love it! I am actually leaving Bangalore, and India, in a couple of hours...have paid my bill, have ordered a taxi and am ready to leave...for this time...but I know that I will come back here soon, maybe even sooner than I think :-) Bye Bye Incredible India - Thanks for having me here, thanks for looking after me, and, thanks to all the people who helped me make this trip possible!!!

And, to those waiting for me at home, I am looking forward to seeing you all :-) I promise that I will publish a bestof my photos very soon.....

One Love, Suz xxx
