Now I am fully aware that this blog is far from perfect (pause for resounding chorus of cyber-denials. Thank you, thank you) but I am reasonably happy with it for the moment, so today I took the plunge and went back to a long-shelved project.
My photo website.
And that, of course, is a totally different kettle of fish.
Basically all the sterling work Himmat did a few months ago, deciphering the manual for me, figuring out how to edit and upload my images - well, because I dillied and dallied, all this work went for naught. So it [...]

I begin today’s blog with a heartening story. My sister and brother-in-law, Jane and Michael, are here on holiday. Last Monday, Michael lost his credit card. He was 99% sure that it wasn’t pinched, but that he had inadvertently dropped it in a taxi.

Cut to this morning, when they went to C Block Market, to get a taxi to Khan Market. A man walks up to them, and hands Michael his credit card.
Now, isn’t that a nice [...]
