There have been no new entries for nearly ten days. Is this a dying blog?

I hope not.

I’m going with Jaipur on this. Have you guys been to Galta ji (aka the Monkey Temple) in Jaipur? Here are some pictures.

Not sure about the rest of the scenes, but the ones on the road certainly looked like Bapu Bazaar or some other Bazaar in the old city of Jaipur.

Conan’s knowledge of Hindi is impressive. (Even if he only learned a few phrases for the filming – it’s still pretty good.)

I may not be thinking of the right word or transliterating it correctly but but shouldn’t it be “ghaora”?

btw, the way "gora" is pronounced is kind of like the word my mom uses for "stubborn" in bengali.

Razib I thought that was a Ghoti, not a Baangaal colloquialism. Who knew?

"Conan had his own skit similar to Outsourced's premise a few years ago. Pretty funny."

I've been trying to find that skit and haven't been able to. It's the one where one of his writers travels to India to get his computer fixed, and gets a crush on one of the workers. It was great.

The fort in opening shot is Amber fort/palace complex, The fort we see above the amber fort (on a much higher hill) is the famous Jaigarh fort. you can see the long winding fortified roadway between the two. I remember in 80/90s we used to think of Amber as another town outside jaipur, but now its well within the city’s growing expanse. The reason some of the shots dont show pink buildings is because most of it is not shot within the walled-city proper, but on outskirts.
