in the glorious tradition of silk-list-as-a-travel-agency [1], i am looking for suggestions for what to do when i'm in india next month.
i'm in hyderabad dec 3-6 to eat biryani (and speak at the Internet Governance Forum) and then i'm in Trivandrum dec 9-11 for the Free Software Free Society conference. on the 13th i go to delhi where i'll be kidnapped by my parents and disappear to rishikesh till christmas. having never been to kerala before, and having recently added to my collection of zuiko lenses, i would like to do some travelling around the conferences. an ideal lens workout would include scenery (super-wide-angle), birds (600mm telephoto @35 equiv) and portraits (50mm prime f2.0). and one is supposed to do the backwater thing. since i have more than just the 3 days between hyd and triv that i expected, i wouldn't mind taking trains, or even perhaps stopping off along the way. any suggestions? i realise this is very last minute. but what isn't, in life? tia, -rishab 1. i cannot take away an opportunity for udhay to show his instant recall of silk-list message numbers over the past decade by providing the evidence of old threads myself.
