at least it was in December 2003 - visited Delhi, Gujarat, Pune, and Bombay

I'm still confused on why they changed the names of the cities!!

Bombay ---------> Mumbai

Calcutta ---------> Kolkata

Madras ----------> Chennai


coz as far as i know, those were the names before the british ruled india.... also mumbai is named after mumba devi who is a goddess

You know, it's the only country that still has the plague? I mean, the plague! Please!

Excuse me, but that's only in rural areas . . . in fact, prove to me that the plague is still in India.

And if it is . . . ONLY COUNTRY? What about Africa? South-East Asia?

stay calm.. it's a joke from a TV show that he's repeating there

which tv show?

Seinfeld

people still watch that show?!

a lot of those episodes get boring within 5 minutes!

come on now, Seinfeld is the funniest show evar. It made fun of Chinese at some point too. Yet I love the show.

priety is seriously cute, and she is a pretty good (funny) in the few movies I have seen


seriously though India is an interesting place, lots to see, sure each and every part of the country doesnt have the modern amenities most yanks are used too, but there is so much diversity in India, its a fascinating place (maybe I am biasied since I am from there ;) )
