Airtel GPRS
On a prepaid card that cost 4 dollars to apply, and 8 to start talking and messaging, a SMS to an Airtel message robot to activate, and 20 rupees a day (less than a dollar) to use, unlimited data (or so Airtel tells me).. On a wonderfully bright 2.4 inch screen on a new phone with a 3.2 megapixel Carl Zeiss lens.. What’s there not to like about India? I’m still here in Bangalore, staying with some journalists (which makes every moment from crossing an Indian road to having lunch, always very stimulating; and I might have lost my voice because of this newfound loquacious company). At other times, happily stuffing myself with street food on Food St, great Mangalorean seafood and Andhra food that is spicy enough for me. The weather is perfect at 25 degrees. Discounting the small issue of tomorrow’s 35 hour train ride.. It’s all a breeze. Check the Flickr stream for real time photo blogging courtesy of Airtel Mobile Office, and a phone with an integrated upload-to-Flickr feature. Obviously I have yet to figure out where the return key on this is.

Missing you already….. I want some Chai tea leaves do you think you can bring back some? Pretty please….
Sure baby i’ll even make you some :) i feel like such a loser lying in bed surfing on my phone for hours.
I forbid you to post anymore food pics. Now, I want to go home and cancel the Aussie trip.
Have fun. :)
Are you still around? Is it too late to meet?

Anyway i’m leaving the city tonight on the evening train, and my schedule since getting to bangalore had been chock a block full! I’ll look you up again, not too far from now i imagine.
