I also feel so in touch with everything when I am in India. It seems as though you realize how lucky you are, but the people are always smiling... I really enjoy reading your blog=) Beautifully put-your description of India. I also feel so in touch with everything when I am in India.

I am currently living in China. My goal was to learn about China before watching Victor march in the opening ceremony in Beijing. I was reading your blog and noted your article on the caste system. I am interested in what you have learned in your travels about this strange tendency toward separation between the upper class and the rest of the people. With the emergence of global economics based on Sovereign Funds, I am seeing many instances of this phenomenon. Dubai is buying better horses and British football clubs. I am reminded of the Roman decision to buy sand for the arena of the Circus Maximus rather than corn to feed its people. Your more recent posting of your feelings upon your return to the US is also telling. The sense of disconnection from relationship with other people, with the earth or veggies in the marketplace... I have been doing research on what I am calling: Riparian Corridors for the rich. These are global pathways that allow the super rich to avoid any interaction with the rest of the humans on the planet. What have you noted in this regard? I don't know if you actually read these comments but I am interested in a conversation of you are. I will be here in Nantong, China, until August of 2008. Hope to hear from you.

When I made a trip back home and got back here, I felt uprooted (for want of a better word.) And worse yet, was the cold and the snow and the cooking (that you do yourself) and the laundry (that you lug to a laundromat.) But then school started, and weeks went by, and now I'm feeling better about where I am. Oh and the Super Bowl helped - sooo glad about the Yankee win! I know exactly how you feel.
