Small world

I had an absolutely amazing time at the weekend, but thanks to a punishing schedule of flights (one 4am start followed by two consecutive 5am flights) I'm still too exhausted to even think about it, let alone write anything down. I've experienced jet lag before, but this is on another level altogether. It was worth it though - I had the chance to see far more of India that I thought possible when I began this trip, and don't worry though, I took plenty of photographs along the way and I'll share them, along with some stories from the past few days, when I get back.

In the meantime I've just had a vivid reminder of how small the world can be. A mobile phone just went off from a few cubicles over. The ringtone? None other than the theme from Battle of the Planets. For all the cultural differences I've experienced over the last week, it's remarkable how many similarities are shared.

Anyway, a couple more amusing signs I noticed before I part: "Dr Bahal's Super Special Homeopathy" made me smile as did an enormous sign for "Fun Republic". It appeared to be a mall/cineplex combination, but I couldn't help but think of the People's Fun Republic of North Korea (led by the Super Special Happy Fun Kim Jong Il). I giggled quite a bit at that thought, although I admit that jet lag may have played it's part...
