    but most of the places in india is so bloody hot , you dont feel like going out to check out some exotic locations , untill and unless you travell out when the weather is juss perfect - otherwise the heat can drive you nuts ...

    true - during summer only hill stations are suitable and during winter most of india, except the hill stations themselves.


    but you are in africa - how come you are complainign about the heat?

    Mahabaleshwar is great....i've been tehre quite often...and i bet u have seen this one in movies too often....:):)...i mean all the scenes where the horses run on the open plateau , the car goes over the cliff, the picnic spots, and numerous love songs....they all have mahabaleshwar in it...:)

    Hampi.....great...they've started some restoration now that it's funded by world bank....also if possible visit kishkindha....the famed city of the monkey king Sugreeva and his commander Hanuman...:)...i wanted to go there but didn't get any time.....:)tell me about it.

    And yeah i searched about Koenraad Elst...great guy...I am reading his articles now...from his official indology site...:):)...thanx for the info....
