My Time in India Thus Far
2 commentsSome of you noticed that the gymnasiums I reviewed in my last post were very expensive (US$100 per month). It is true that these gyms are the creme de la creme of Indian offerings.
The same could be said about my current living conditions. I am very spoiled right now in an awesome neighborhood that has many Western conveniences.
If you were hoping to see me review cheap dhobi wallahs (Indian laundry men) or the best street food, I am sorry to disappoint.
I plan to try to live and document a very cosmopolitan two months in Mumbai. India gets a bad rap in America as a dirt-poor, lazy, third-world country. And there certainly are those elements all around me.
You can find Old Meets New in a lot of cities in this part the world. But what I love here are the arts and the intellectuals and the media in Bombay. And I think there is a special mix of New here.
Update 7/19/2007 If you would like to read about rickshaw adventures, paan delicacy, and other Indian delights... please visit Akshay Mahajan's blog Trivial Matters. Akshay has been doing a great job documenting his Indian life for over three years. Akshay's Flickr photos are also quite famous around the Indian press.That's my expertise send some traffic over will you
