Pushkar Lake
Despite the out and out commercialism of the main bazar, with its hippy clothing, cheap trinkets, and Om stickers, Pushkar remains a charming, laid back, pleasant place to spend a few days. I had a couple of nice walks into the country, hung out with a sadhu, drank chai in rooftop cafes, and performed a puja at the ghat where Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharal Nehru's ashes were spread on the lake. I move on to Jodhpur tomorrow. From there I'll head to Jaisalmer, where I'll spend Christmas in the desert with my cousin Lisa and uncle Kevin, who -unexpectedly- landed in Delhi a few days ago!

Matt,
Glad you will not be spending christmas alone in India. All done finals now, phew!!! The last one wasn't even that bad, hopefully. The monkey's look cute in your pictures and im glad you found a semi-relaxing place. Keep strong and follow your heart :). Happy Travels
