Great news!  I have just had an email from Ramesh to say I can stay with them in Bangalore. When Jayne and I went to, then Bombay in 19voetsak!( for those that can't speak Afrikaans, it means it is so long ago I can't remember sort of.)..anyway her Dad was at medical school with his Dad and Ramesh then 20 years old, picked us up from the airport at 1am and drove us all over the city. I had just seen the film 'Salam Bombay' and recognized some of the areas like the red light district, woman of the night in exotic saris and young boys delivering chai. It was so exciting. Ramesh now 42, married with kids lives in Bangalore. Bangalore (Karnatake) is 3 hrs by cab to  Mandanapalle, Andra Pradesh. I am staying with them for a few days and then will head north. When I tried to book somewhere in Mandanapalle no one spoke English....Telgu  isn't my speciality! So he has sorted that out and I'm staying at Ananda Hotel for a costly £7.00 a night....don't think it will break the bank and great for the credit crunch! Will check out Bangalore the land of IT....so ....Hello Lady buy from me
