NOT without my little red rucksack

well, looks like i'm going to india just as the proverbial shit is about to hit my old friend, the FAN.

"Thousands of riot police fanned out across India's technology hub of Bangalore on Monday ahead of a court ruling on a century-old water dispute which authorities fear could lead to a repeat of deadly 1991 riots." (ahem. Reuters)

well, bring it on, i say, as long as i've got an LRR on my back. with a renewed sense of resolve and an odd fit of superstition (tot A, pipe down...) am going to trudge the length and breadth of rome. crucifixes and beads have been of no use whatsoever in watching my back when faced with possible carnage.

Not to worry there always some kind of riot going on somewhere in India. Hindu/Muslim, low caste/high caste, tribal people/new settlers, etc, etc, etc. Anyway, sure tear gas and baton charges will be no match for Mahatma Flavs.
