I love the IPL. It's taken time away from so many other things I need to do and think about right now, but it's been a wonderful escape. There are only two weeks left, and I'm looking forward to enjoying more moments like this one in the match two days ...

While I was in India, I became infatuated with a little game called cricket. Cricket has a lot of bad connotations. The word itself produces a disdainful look in most Americans, a roll of the eyes, an almost irrepressible shiver. Most people know cricket as the game that lasts forever: ...

The one that kept racing through my head at one in the morning, as I hovered over the toilet , was this: I spent four weeks in India and what finally gets me sick is quiche from Citarella.

I've been in India for four weeks, and it's hard for me not to wonder about all the great things in this country I didn't get to see. Varanasi, Jaipur, Calcutta, the beaches at Goa, the tea plantations in Assam, the tea plantations in Kerala, the tea plantations in Darjeeling. ...
