We apologize.

It has been a week since we last posted because India censors access to blogs (see Tripping OnWords post re: this fact) and because we are not smart enough to have set up email posting for multiple blogs.

But never fear! The karmic project continues...

In India it is actually very easy to give things away because people are always asking for them. Even completely inappropriately. Like one little kid who just out and asked for my camera. I said no.

So in the last few days of traipsing around with Claire we have given away a few key objects:

1. Half of a Subway Sandwich with a bite out of it. This sounds bad, but hte person was very happy to get it.
2. Two packets of Tuna that we had bought in Morocco that stays preserved for a freakishly long time. This is a good source of protein.
3. Random rupees and tissue cases to kids who cleverly begged by coughing on us so that we were eager for them to go away. But this made the tissues appropriate, at least.

In return for all this positive work, the beggars gave us things too...some of the people that wander from car to car are not only asking for money. They sell things! Like illegal copies of books that we want to read! So in a clear cut karmic gesture, we gave something away and immediately we received things we wanted from the next poor child wading through traffic towards us. Like Blink, Freakonomics, and How Opal Mehta blah blah blah...

It was amazing.

Coming Soon!:

Lara's cool new friend Melissa gave us prezzies for her cousins that we get to pass out. So keep an eye out for an expose of this exciting news story. We'll see how said toys are received...
