(Audrey) I’ve been 24 hours without internet access and am barely getting through now. I’m shocked that some people find being out of contact with the modern world like this to be a refreshing break, invigorating and what not. I would describe it with one word: boring.
I’m in Rampur, a town in U.P. that has approximately one draw for outsiders: The Raza Library, one of the largest storehouses of Indo-Islamic knowledge on the subcontinent. Logically I’m here for a few days doing research. More detailed updates will likely have to wait until I have solid internet access again, but at least I’ve got beauty to enjoy during the non-internet filled hours. Here is a shot of the library with it’s stunningly well-maintained gardens—

If my library looked like that I’d take any job I could to work there. Wow.
