Sorry it's been a while. Something great is in the works, I promise. There are two major reasons I haven't been blogging this past week or so. Reason #1 is that I've been staying with friends in Pune and here in Kolkata, and this makes it harder to find the time to stop into an internet cafe (or worse, commandeer their computer) and blog my heart out. It also makes for a slightly less eventful trip, because I don't have my standard fare of dirty guesthouses to fall back on. I've had luxuries like indoor plumbing for the last week, and I've been seriously schooled about how to deal with taxi and/or rickshaw drivers. Which eliminates a lot of my standard material...
Reason #2 is one of those "just my luck" things -- several major fiberoptic lines have been cut in the Arabian sea (I think?), making the internet really, really slow across the subcontinent. Which makes even checking my email a huge headache, let alone blogging, facebook, keeping up with the news, etc. This is OK, though, because again, I've been with friends who are wonderful and protective and really know their stuff, meaning that if anything were to happen, I would be well taken care of (cutting down on the urgency of being in online contact with you guys).
Anyway, Pune was super fun, and I'm having a blast in Kolkata. I've got my fingers crossed for Obama today...
