Mumbai Airport and Delhi

Hi all,

It’s been an interesting past couple of days full of jet lag and culture shock. I don’t have much time to post. The goal of this blog is not to show a typical tourist viewpoint, but without further ado, here are some (hopefully not typical tourist) photos:

Our driver, one brave soul. Driving in Delhi is interesting, as everybody ignores the lanes and lights.

I’ll post more later. Hope all is well, and thanks for reading. Comments are welcome.


Introduction and About This Blog

Family, Friends & Colleagues,

If you don’t already know, my best friend’s family has invited me to a wedding in India from Dec. 26-Jan. 10 in Navsari, Gujarat. During the two and a half weeks, I will be documenting the wedding, and all of the ceremonies, traditions and culture involved with the process of holding a traditional Indian wedding. This blog will serve as a medium to post my work and thoughts throughout this journey, obtain feedback, and serve as a place to keep in contact with all of you while out of the country. While in India, I will try to keep this blog as up to date as possible (from what I gather, we’ll have access to internet cafes regularly). The best way to keep in touch is to sign up for email updates of this blog, and you’ll be emailed whenever I add a new post. In the coming weeks, I will post some more background on my project and the region I will be visiting. As this is a blog, feel free to post a comment on here whenever you wish. Feedback is greatly appreciated, I cannot grow without it. Thanks for reading, and thanks for sharing in this journey with me!
