Their first time in India? What did they do go for a swim in the sewage stream? I didn't even that to put my hand in the Ganges let alone swim in it. Though it's easy to get "Shiva's Revenge" in India there are ways to avoid it and actually ayurvedic things to do which work if it starts to come on. My understanding though was the 2001 Kumbh was already institutionalized enough you could do it from the comfort of a 5 star hotel an probably more so this round. But like you, I'm not fond of big crowds so not really my cup of tea though it would be a bit hilarious to see how many charlatans are there. ------------------------------------ To subscribe, send a message to: fairfieldlife-subscr...@yahoogroups.com Or go to: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FairfieldLife/ and click 'Join This Group!'Yahoo!
