Wanderings through Northern India

Posted by avsm Mon, 26 Dec 2005 14:38:00 GMT

When I visit India, I normally stick to the south where most of my extended family lives. In a miniature rebellion this Christmas, I took up my good friends' Seb and Sheree on their offer to show me around their towns of New Delhi and Kolkata. The trip has ended up being a huge amount of fun, as we combined tourism with a suitable dose of partying in such places as the Tolly Country Club for Xmas Eve (which has a waiting list of decades for membership!!!). I'm currently in Kolkata with my parents, and sadly heading back to Cambridge in a few days. I think this will be the first time I actually miss leaving India, as the North seems to be the distinct winner over South India in terms of being more modern and fun...

Scotty and Eleanor get hitched

Posted by avsm Mon, 26 Dec 2005 14:05:04 GMT

I finally got around to uploading a few months worth of pictures to my gallery, and of course the first thing to highlight was the Robinson Wedding of the Century: Scotty and Eleanor! The wedding was awesome as it was held in Cambridge in the cozy Robinson Chapel (which is our College Chapel), and performed by the wonderful Maggie Dawn (who actually blogged about the event as well). Here is a short selection of pictures... I failed to capture any of the actual wedding itself, as I ended up ushering and almost missed it, woopsie.

It all began in a stag night which ended in a police station...
