India Blog!

One of my favorite phrases heard while we were asking directions in Pondicherry was, "Sorry, I'm a new face here." I loved this way of saying, "Sorry, can't help you, mate" because it summed up much of the way I felt while muddling through as a foreigner, observer, documenter, taste-tester, and ultimate afficionado of this place.

As promised, here's my final blog post for IndiaBlog 2007, courtesy of Ishita. Ishita says this picture brings out my true character (in other words, my most common pose in India). Thanks to everyone who stayed tuned over the last two months - it's been like writing letters home for me, and I've appreciated all your e-mails and shared stories more than you know. This is goodbye for this blog, but for future happenings and fascinations, check out www.pippalehar.com/photoblog. Namaste.
