Medical Visas (and more)

[mcgillianaire]

What's the easiest (though not necessarily ideal) way for a foreigner to spend a legally-long 'holiday' in India without getting a tourist visa?

Break a leg and come here for the treatment. Or two, for an extended stay.

Meanwhile, I met up with vimoh yesterday evening. His entry about it sums things up quite nicely. :) Good luck with the job hunt, once again.

Belated congratulations to Mutu on his new wedding. buthan might also enjoy the fact that the currency of Botswana is called the pula. :)

And finally, something from the bookshop. The other day I chanced upon a couple books that SO deserve to be part of my collection.

pappubahry amongst others would surely enjoy Word & Phrase Origins by Robert Hendrickson (Rs. 1700). Equally enjoyable was another called Britain: Then & Now by Edmund Swinglehurst (Rs. 800). I was imagining how lovely it would be if I could add it to my existing collection of similar books on Old Oman and Madras: Its Past and Present. All of them photo-collections and all from places I hold very dear to my heart.

I feel like such a nerd, but I think I would absolutely love the word/phrase origins book.

:) There's nothing nerdy about Word Origins... it's served me well as an ice-breaker on many a social occasion!

The word and phrase origin book has a little history behind them. Tell 'em !!!
