Restoration at the City Palace, Jaipur I have to admit the title of my post and the picture above are partially misleading. The painter on the platform did not take a tumble. It is me who took a tumble today. And got it in my left ankle. A minor sprain but probably enough to make…
Them Doggies Again and a Few Cows as a Bonus
Cow with Big Horns Today evening when I was coming home, I stopped on the way to pay my phone bill (I still don’t pay it online but that is another story). It took me a while to pay it in person. Still, I decided to buy some Sweets (Jalebi, there goes my watching weight…
