So, tomorrow I am off to a new state: Maharashtra. I booked airline tickets and a hotel through www.makemytrip.com, which a co-worker told me about (it’s like Expedia). When I get back, I’ll tell you how my Air India flight and stay at the city of Aurangabad (to see the Ellora and Ajunta Caves) at the Meadows Resort Hotel went. The whole 4-day, 3-night trip cost $385 for the round-trip flight and hotel.
I also booked a cab to the airport online through www.easycabs.com, which another co-worker describes as “reliable, but not the cheapest”. So many bookings. So much not-speaking-to-actual-people to do so. I like it. Assuming it works.
Other random stuff to fill up space:
Got to Skype with my grandparents for the first time! Way cool. Wish my internet connection was faster, though.
My first container of floss lasted exactly two months:
Click on the photo to see the site I stole this pic from.
It also captures my feelings on the subject.
I’ve seen the occasional mosquito, though they haven’t appeared in full force. Still, good to have:
A “Mosquito-Killing Racquet”
After some hunting, Peter and Chris found this for me yesterday in a neighborhood market! Yes! Mosquitoes DIE. Best part: it’s rechargeable – ZAP!
It’s a bummer that neither Netflix nor Pandora work in India, but Pandora’s message is nice:
Dear Pandora Visitor,
We are deeply, deeply sorry to say that due to licensing constraints, we can no longer allow access to Pandora for listeners located outside of the U.S., Australia and New Zealand. We will continue to work diligently to realize the vision of a truly global Pandora, but for the time being we are required to restrict its use. We are very sad to have to do this, but there is no other alternative.
From the “I didn’t know that was a liability” department:

He’s ventured into the living room now…
So I should be back with a hundred photos – or a good story why not – following the weekend.
