what with all this thinking about india, i’ve been spending a little longer than i sanely should checking out various indian websites. there’s a site for everything! the indian rail site seems far more efficient than our offering and i’ve learnt a thing or too about indian cooking. it’s a little worrying that when googling for a site about british food to show an indian friend – this came up second! i just love the line “After lunch the father will smoke his pipe and read the newspaper sitting on his favourite armchair while his wife washes the dishes” – under a picture of the typical family having sunday lunch. it doesn’t mention anything about trolley teas though.
anyway – here’s some indian sounds to tease the ears. sometimes, simple everyday sounds can be the most evocative things.
