Wedding Festivities in Jaipur

No updates for a while, I know. Aside from the wedding, I have been busy with work the entire month. The weather is finally really nice here (high of 28C, low of 19C) every day. The rains have subsided. Christmas was interesting - if for no other reason because extremely dark-complexioned men were dispersed throughout the city in the form of Santa Claus. I guess there should be no complexion-based discrimination for the position of Santa Claus, but it was quite the visual contrast from the image of Santa I have always had. Most of South India has a fairly significant Christian population, so there is definitely an air of festivity around Christmas (unlike in much of north India). Off to Kerala in a few weeks for vacation with friends from college as soon as another study is up and running at work - I will post a narrative and pictures when I return.

In advance, happy new year to all!
