NoneNonelittle purely self-interested data.
This week is my Europe Week. In classic TRAVELMAN fashion, I'm hitting
two nights each in Paris, London, Hamburg, and Copenhagen.
I get to cure Rob's brain-pains this weekend, though at risk of missing
the big concert in London Sunday :-(

> Channel 4's Indian Summer

> chance to sample a mix of Indian food, music and film; an 8-piece
> Indian-style brass band will be performing Bollywood tunes, and there

I'll be visiting a cousin-in-law (my cousin's visa is still in the
works... a looong process).
The next stop is to visit a cousin's family proper, and a niece I
haven't met since she was born 3-4 years ago. Should be a blast!
Finally, Friday and Saturday of next week will be Copenhagen for
Henrik's second wedding... to the same woman, tho! :-)
Bon voyage,
Rohit
PS. Yes, it's egotistical to wish oneself a "Bon Voyage". Screw it, it's
my list, dammit!
