The biggest piece of India news recently is that they (we?) won the CRICKET WORLD CUP! My love of sports at home (ha) has been transformed by the cricket-loving population of this country. Everyone watches, lives, breathes, dreams cricket... especially when the home team beats archrival australia in a super close match to win the semifinals and go on to the world cup finals versus Pakistan! The game on monday night was amazing and right down to the wire and I could almost feel the whole city sitting on the edge of their chairs (or bar stools - cricket is best watched in front of a pint in a noisy dodgy bar) until the very last moment! wahoo!
Also recently, in the news TWICE is the fair city in which I am living! One of the articles (first URL) entitled "Visiting in Luxury, with Money Left for Philanthropy" actually mentions the organization that I am working with! The Bombay Leprosy Project splashed across the travel section of the New York Times. Love it. If you're interested/procrastinating... here are the URLs:

(Thank you Rachel Van Tosh for sending me the mumbai's moment article, you new yorker)
Enjoy, keep in touch!
