Thanks William - lots of good info there and it's already
filed for future reference.

In re-reading that it looks like I'm going to lose a bit of
weight in that week. I'm a diabetic using a low-carb way of
eating for control. I'll probably have to buy two or three
serves of Thali and pick the meat and veges out of the
rice:-)

I'm a diabetic as well.

No meat in a Thali...


Bah, William. A thali can be both veg or nonveg, at least down here. It just
means meal or lunch or plate or something. Ask for nonveg.

Alan, I haven't commented on your trip plans because I know next to nothing
about the north. (I'm a southern fan ... William is your northern expert).
However, Jaipur was OK but not pink ... a dirty brown. Go to Bundi in
Rajasthan. Blue town, super cool. Nice people.

I loathe Delhi except that the architectural legacy is superb and Lodi
Gardens is utter bliss ... makes Kensington Gardens or The Domain or Central
Park look ordinary. By all means send an email if you have questions about
southern India (and I'm more than happy to answer it in the group, as is
proper).
