Biblical Power Plagues: Sweating in Suburban Bangalore | Cartography of Wanderlust

Biblical Power Plagues: Sweating in Suburban Bangalore. Thursday, May 24, 2012. I find churches of every persuasion, marvel at Bangalore’s IT boom and measure its electrical bust; I’m as hot as James Bond but wet as a frog when it comes to catching snakes. Excessive power consumption in one home leads to darkness in ten homes. SAVE POWER. Let us do our bit. Avoid ironing clothes during peak hours between 6 and 9 in the morning and in the evening.

Schoolboy Souvenirs: Poster Children of India | Cartography of Wanderlust
https://titheridgetrip.wordpress.com/2012/05/27/schoolboy-souvenirs-poster-children-of-india
Schoolboy Souvenirs: Poster Children of India. Sunday, May 27, 2012. I go back to school, learn how diverse India is and how to keep it neat and clean; I swot up biology, geography, history, and find 17 reasons to return. Few students pass these tests. Driving rashly through the heavy traffic is dangerous . Don’t I know it after three months here. See collections of Indian School Posters online here. I want to find the Moral Stories series next time! Batting, Baking and King Chilli Pork. Rapid KL Ramadan...

Batting, Baking and King Chilli Pork | Cartography of Wanderlust
https://titheridgetrip.wordpress.com/2012/05/25/batting-baking-king-chilli-pork
Batting, Baking and King Chilli Pork. Friday, May 25, 2012. I’m inducted into the creed of cricket and cringe as bandits attack; I’m thanked with pink icing and farewelled with pork. 8230; Oh beauty, what a six, yeah! Phrases from years of cricket-watching, I presume. I shared the frustration when lights and TV died praying for power to come back, beseeching someone to switch on the diesel generator, texting friends for updates. At 9 pm, someone from the North replied, it was still 45. Camera zooms in to...

https://titheridgetrip.wordpress.com/2015/08/05/rapid-kl-ramadan-hari-raya-blessings-on-the-lrt
Rapid KL Ramadan: Hari Raya Blessings on the LRT. Wednesday, August 5, 2015. Trains and tunnels, ketupats and kampungs, fasting and food and forgiveness. I take the Kelana Jaya line across Kuala Lumpur, rediscover the city, and learn how Malaysians celebrate the end of Ramadan. Light Rail Transit and the Ketupat Challenge. What better way to reacquaint myself with the city’s geography while learning more about Malaysian culture? S 2015 photos here. When I was here three years ago Hari Raya fell near Mala...

https://titheridgetrip.wordpress.com/2015/08/24/rapid-kl-ramadan-hari-raya-blessings-on-the-lrt-ampang-line
Rapid KL Ramadan: Hari Raya Blessings on the LRT Ampang Line. Monday, August 24, 2015. More end-of-Ramadan decorations and snippets of Malaysian culture as I visit each station on the Ampang Light Rail Transit line in Kuala Lumpur. Continued in Rapid KL Ramadan Part Two. In those posts I traversed all 24 Light Rail Transit (LRT) stops on the Kelana Jaya line, my home track of 2012. The Ampang Line would take me to less familiar terrain than the Kelana Jaya line. I’d been to none of these stations thi...
