The last few days of preparation for both my remaining exams and my next six weeks of traveling around the subcontinent have been, shall we say, hectic. But, all is going more or less according to plan and I'll ideally have passed my Cognitive Psych final with flying colors, completed my list of numerous little things to do and be sitting on a plane to Kerala in forty-eight hours. For the curious, my itinerary will take me through the following locations before flying home June 4th: Kerala, Mumbai, Udaipur, Jodhpur, Jaipur, Agra, Amritsar, the Himalayas, Dharamasala, Hardiwar, Rishikesh, Delhi, Khajuraho, Varanasi and Kolkata. Yes, that is approximately fifteen destinations. Yes, it will be a miracle if it all works out seamlessly. I'll be traveling with friends for about three weeks of it, before traveling on my own a bit and meeting up with some Indian friends in their respective stomping grounds before heading back to Hyderabad for my eventual flight home.
As I'll be traveling all over the place sans laptop, I'm not sure just how accessible internet will typically be. Do email/facebook if you need to get ahold of me, just know I may not be able to respond very swiftly.
If I had the time to stop and reflect on leaving Hyderabad, I'm sure this post would triple in length. However, I still have those aforementioned million-and-one things to do, and at least one more exam to take. I'll post more from my journeys if/when I get the chance and hope to get those Mamallapuram and Pondicherry photos up tomorrow afternoon. You can expect, dear readers, a "Whoa, I'm back in the U.S." post sometime shortly after I get home. But as I mentioned before, I intend to do a great deal of writing on India over the next six weeks and well into the summer, some of which very well might end up on here. At the very least, I have one more lengthy post marinating in my Blogger "Drafts" folder, which I intend to share upon it's completion.
Let me just state for the record that I, once again, have absolutely no idea what to expect. Also, I'm ecstatic. Phir milenge, yaar.
