Photographs and short written pieces concerning my time in Rajasthan, India, working for the Jaipur Virasat Foundation.

Jasol, Balotra, Some other updates

Not that I've been neglecting this blog, but I'm sure that anyone who's been visiting regularly probably has some desire to know what's been going on, especially since there's been nothing since my blatantly ad-hoc "Olympic Quote" post below.

Last monday was Holi, an event that is worth about a billion posts, but which will probably be treated with one, if any at all. Imagine your intrepid writer covered in chemical pigment, drunk off his ass on watered-down rum staggering across dirt lots outside Jaipur with a group of equally-inebriated Indians. Not a pretty sight.

The following tuesday Georgie and I left for New Delhi, where we spent two days checking out the Sacred Arts festival, which I've already posted about. The last day or two in Delhi might merit a "photo dump".

On Friday evening Divya and I took an overnight train from Delhi to Jodhpur. From there we met Vinod and Naveen, who had stayed the night in Jodhpur. We spent the next two days bouncing around Balotra, investigating musicians and meeting with partners of the foundation.

Which is all a preamble to my saying: hold your horses, there will be three or four new posts this week about what happened last week. -JWB
