Well, it wouldn't be my own vanity list if I didn't forward at least a
little purely self-interested data.
This week is my Europe Week. In classic TRAVELMAN fashion, I'm hitting
two nights each in Paris, London, Hamburg, and Copenhagen.
I get to cure Rob's brain-pains this weekend, though at risk of missing
the big concert in London Sunday :-(
> Around Town
> Channel 4's Indian Summer
>
> As England meets India in four test matches this Summer, Channel 4
> brings together a host of activities reflecting Indian life in a free
> event held over the weekend (27/28 July). A huge screen in Regent's
> Park will bring coverage of the first Test Match live from Lords
> throughout the weekend. Marylebone Green will be the setting for a
> chance to sample a mix of Indian food, music and film; an 8-piece
> Indian-style brass band will be performing Bollywood tunes, and there
> will be live DJ sets as well as performance by The Angel Dancers, who

> Victoria, Wilton Road, SW1 (0870 4000 650). Victoria tube/rail.
I'll be visiting a cousin-in-law (my cousin's visa is still in the
works... a looong process).
The next stop is to visit a cousin's family proper, and a niece I
haven't met since she was born 3-4 years ago. Should be a blast!
Finally, Friday and Saturday of next week will be Copenhagen for
Henrik's second wedding... to the same woman, tho! :-)
Bon voyage,
Rohit
PS. Yes, it's egotistical to wish oneself a "Bon Voyage". Screw it, it's
my list, dammit!
