I am planning to visit India from September 2011 to March 2012...from Durga Puja to Holi. :) I plan to teach in a school for underprivileged girls for three or four months and travel for two or three months. I think it is going to be awesome.
I would love to see Mannat, but I will not stake it out, offer the guards sex, or cry if I do/don't see ShahRukh. I'd love to be an extra in a Bollywood film, though, or do a voice over. Wouldn't that be cool? I do have a theatre degree, so maybe the American character wouldn't suck, for once.
I have good friends in Delhi, and I currently have a (totally Americanized) boyfriend from Chennai, and I'd love to see where he grew up. I have been told there are a few more places in Southern India I need to visit as well. Mangalore, I think. I am also stalking a poet from Kerala, so I want to go find her. I also want to see Kolkata and Goa, Mumbai (of course)and the school where I wish to teach is in Jaipur, so thus I will visit Agra and Delhi to complete that circuit. It would be cool to see Massoorie and Amritsar, too, if at all possible. There is so much to see and do. I am excited even thinking about it all!
All I need now is to save the money, and carve out the time, then make the plans in detail. Oh, and learn Hindi. i'm trying to get the bf to teach me some Tamil, but he says I won't need it. I know, I say, but I *want* it! LOL. I've been talking to my bosses, trying to convince them to give me a leave of absence from work and considering this a "cultural exchange" (I'm a teacher by vocation.)
