Pinto, a colleague of Tariq at Sunrise Radio in Bradford during 1993, when my wife was doing her PhD in Leeds.<br /><br />I was a journalist and editor in Pune during 1983 to 1996, as well teach editing at the University Dept here. Now I'm semi-retired.<br /><br />Have you read Naguib Mahfouz and how he looks at modern-day Egypt? Maybe there is a lesson there -- for all of us, who wallow in the exotic oriental creations of Durrell, etc.<br /><br />In India, we too have our Ruth Prawer Jhabwalas, who can see only heat and dust.<br /><br />Peace and love,<br />- Joe.<br /><br />Email: sangatizuzay@gmail.com<br /><br />Blog: Against the Tide (http://sangatizuzay.blogspot.com/)Joe Pintohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09816903724816351432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4366971352164604679.post-21960609934800298502011-09-18T10:08:22.613-07:002011-09-18T10:08:22.613-07:00Go Chris!

Coincidentally I'm just re-reading The Book of my Childhood, set in India, and planning a similar trip in my mind. Highlighting the places on Kindle isn't quite the same as getting up and going but you're definitely inspiring me to make it a reality one day.Stephanie Ziahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07009923261529219522noreply@blogger.com
