back from the subcontinent

so fantasy football ended up not ending well for me.  usual 3rd or 4th place.  oh well.

on the other hand...my trip to bangladesh and india were pretty awesome.  and thats coming from a paki so it must have been good.  i was surprised at how modernized and still behind mumbai was.  slums and beggars are still there but then there is so much commercialization and development.  id imagine compared to pakistan there is a much higher optimism as well.  perhaps the product of a stable government.  of course its been a long time since ive been to pakistan so comparisons are tough.  of all the interseting things i saw or did id say getting a facial was up there.  yeah i said it.  i think i almost died 3 times during it.  some parts burned or hurt.  at other points i couldnt breathe (steam in your face anyone?).  but damn did i feel good afterward.  but still im not sure it was worth all the near death and nervous moments.
