I have friends who currently lives in India, and used to live in Bangalore, and hence I’m too excited to get to visit India. Perhaps I haven’t gotten the same negative images of India from someone who calls it home. I guess it also helps if you like the food ahead of time.
In any case, you can see my”>http://www.flickr.com/photos/greyarea/”>my friend’s pictures on flickr, a lot that show India. I’d give you his blog to read, but he never posts, much less about India. 🙂
