Have you visited India?

Yeah, I'm vegetarian too. I am sure that there is something addictive about the Indian herbs. I'm lucky that my Thai wife has learned to cook Indian food as well as Thai. I also like to do yoga, and I would like to spend some time in a yoga school there.

Wow dgwinchina you have it made Thai and Indian food!

I hope you'll both join my friends list Then we can eat Indian food and do yoga together (not in that order!)

I do yoga too.

Thanks for the info, but I seem to have found many Indian friends already here on Mylot

That is not something I expected a software CEO to say lol.....that technology relies on developments within the "new world order" doesn't it? Do you feel like Nobel who wished he never created explosives? or am I missing something?

and a new topic is born haha!

I still have dreams. I would like to live in a self-sufficient village with some others who wish to avoid the advances of the New World Order!

Thank you so much. I have only one small recipe book, and my Thai wife does the cooking, so we'll quite likely take you up on that kind offer very soon. I'm vegetarian, so Indian food is very suitable for me.

But as u know many thinks abt india the one more think is tht india food is aslo very spicy. ok u also learn yoga my father in law is a teacher of yoga. wanna know smething more abt india.

Looks like I'll have to. What an amazingly warm welcome I'm receiving. Thank you

I'd love to meet you - I like your avatar too.

Where abouts? What's your favourite food?

Maybe we can go together.

And where are you located? thanks for answering

Never mind. We'll think of you while we are partying!

Thank you. I'll look you up when I come.

Do you want to join the party?

But would you like to?

The Philipines is another intersting place. I haven't been there either

Where abouts in India are you?

Yeah. Having experienced the true taste of Thailand, and the 'non-true' western copy of the food, I would guess the same thing happens with Indian food. You just cannot beat the taste of freshly made herbs and spices, which are just not abailable in the west. If I come I might visit you too. What should I bring?

Can I visit you when I come?

Maybe we can go together!

Any reason not to? Maybe not very adventurous, eh?
