Update

Apologies for the paucity of posts of late, finding an internet connection that does not leave me tearing my hair out in impatience has been more difficult than in Kolkata. In the past week I've whizzed through Delhi, Agra, Fatipur Sikri, Jaipur and Amber, spending way too little time in each place, and just seeing the requisite tourist sights. One nice thing about living in Kolkata was the lack of touts and constant hassling, which seems to be much more prevalent in all these more touristy places. That said, these places are wonderful and atmospheric and well worth a visit. I shall be back in Delhi on Saturday night, and then taking the train to Kalka and then Shimla the next day, a good 10 hour journey. After that, I will travel for 2 weeks around Himachal Pradesh, before returning to Delhi to catch my flight back to Singapore.
