Six months out, not looking back

Looks like he's having fun, doesn't he?
It’s been six months since I said good-bye to U.S. soil and, as much as I do miss the wonderful folks back home, I’m looking for ways to stay out here a good deal longer.

Pidgeons on a domed roof at Lal Quila
After a week of fun traveling with mom and seeing the rest of the family, I’m headed back to Delhi for work and play.
And I must say, I have missed her, my newly adopted city.

India is generally a dusty and often smoggy place, especially in Delhi. That makes a clear blue sky a real treat.
This one comes from Darjeeling, interrupted only by prayer flags and strings of green and white Gorkhaland decorations.

You are what you eat?
In India, I frequently have access to more varied and fresh fruits, because the distribution system is often door-to-door or block-by-block via fruit wallahs.
Here is some nice papaya that we had for breakfast a few weeks back. My (sadly, now ex-) roommate Rachel liked a lot of fresh fruit. I joined the fray now and then with pineapple, lemons, oranges, bananas and (while I’m diving here in Pondicherry) Granny Smith apples.
