Enjoying the weather

Today is a BEAUTIFUL day here in Ludhiana. The skies are (relatively) blue and sunny, with a high temperature of 30 degrees. Dad and I have been touring today...we spent a good part of the morning touring Punjab Agricultural University, which is his old college.

From what I have seen so far, Punjab is nicer than the other areas we have visited in India, in terms of cleanliness, pollution, and population density. Although there was some smog here in Ludhiana yesterday, it seems to have lifted today, giving a much welcome respite from all those dust particles.

Later today, we will be heading to Chaura Bazaar downtown to see the Punjabi market in action.

Tomorrow, we leave for Amritsar to visit the Golden Temple for Diwali. Apparently they close the gates at 2pm due to the huge amount of people that arrive, so we need to be there well before then. My next post may not be for a few days, as we will be heading to the pind (village) after that, and I'm pretty sure they do not have any Internet there. Therefore, I would like to wish everyone a very Happy Diwali!!

P.S. I've included some pics taken during our trip to Jaipur.
