One Wall Street Journal reporter's rickshaw ride through India
If you're looking for a fresh take on the Grand-Tour-Through-India travelogue, one with a heavy dose of culture (and even danger!), check out Niraj Sheth's blog on his roadtrip by rickshaw through southern India.
What makes this blog--running until the end of this week--stand out is Niraj's unique perspective as a Wall Street Journal reporter and in his own words, as a ABCD: "American-born, confused desis [slang for Indian]."
His commentary about how the local Indians view him is especially sharp, and humorous in parts. For instance, one mechanic, and he seems to need many, jabbers to a friend in front of Niraj, who has spoken Hindi throughout his life, "It's amazing he speaks Hindi so well."
The multimedia here is also better than most--make sure not to miss the photo slide-show and intro video below.
