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 ( ... )

How wonderful! I hope your work will give you a leave of absence.

i'm going this winter! i've never been before, but i'll be doing a volunteer program in jaipur for about 6 weeks.

Awesome! What will you be doing for your voulnteer work? Is this through a certain organization?

My best friend is half-Punjabi and I made her promise that sometime after college, we'll both take a trip out there. I'd love to see Kolkata, Mumbai, and where my friend's family lives (I don't remember, but I think Patiala?). Of course, I'd love to go to Mannat and try to see SRK, but I think she'd get fed up with that pretty quickly. I'd also love to see DDLJ in a theatre, even if it'd be without subtitles.

(Also, she and I totally want to try bhaang sometime. Not necessarily going to tell my family about that part of the trip. xDDD)

tehehe bhaang:P

I've always wondered what Bhaang was? Is it the leaf stuff I see people eat in the movies?

Well, according to my friend's grandma, who apparently had fields of it growing outside her house in India, it's something you drink at holidays that makes you happy and makes everyone laugh. Really, though, to the best of my knowledge (ie: someone who knows more may want to jump in and correct me!), it's a sort of milk drink that's made with an Indian relative of marijuana.

And I think the leaf thing you're thinking of is called paan.

I went to India last when I was 2.. I will be 22 in a few days, so it's been a while:P I want to go back though!

Do you have family in India?

sunflowerkudi October 18 2009, 21:20:15 UTC

my aunt and uncle live in delhi.

I've been there...four times? Once when I was 1, once when I was 5, once when I was 9 and the last time was two summers ago. :)

My extended family lives in Bangalore, so that's where we primarily go, but I've been to Mysore, Agra, Delhi and Mumbai for a little bit as well.
