I was fortunate to take a trip with my in-laws to India last month. I’ve finally gotten around to uploading the pics, but as I look at them now, they don’t quite capture the amount of amazing stuff that we saw. I took about 400 pictures and uploaded 187 here. You’d think 400 pics would adequately capture a trip, but not for a trip to India.

Here are some interesting ones in case you don’t want to wade through 15 pages of pics.

I’ve been planning to write about my trip to India, but since I’m the biggest procastinator in the world, I have a feeling that might not happen. Suffice it to say that Mala and I had a blast visiting our families and taking in some amazing sights. Thanks to everyone there for taking such great care of us. Without further delay, go look at some photos:

One of the most respected Jewish authorities in the ultra-Orthodox world, Rabbi Yosef Shalom Elyashiv, issued the Indian hair ban from Israel on Wednesday, prompting some people in Israel to create lists of stores selling banned wigs and to burn Indian wigs in bonfires, according to Ha’aretz, an Israeli newspaper.

This sounds like a story from the The Onion
