by the end of my trip i could even read whatever was written in Gujrati tongue1.gif in the process i did some major mistakes too tongue1.gif like when i read junglo and asked the driver if it was the forest he was going to show us the other day and he gave me one strange look and told me it was bunglow tongue1.gif and then there were hip saloon and hip ladies tailor which later i came to know was deep saloon and deep ladies tailor rollf.gif

Can't thank you enough for the pictures preet. It's been years since I saw the "vad nu jhaad" smile1.gif and the somnath temple (that's the one in the picture, right?). It's been so long that I don't remember. I have some great childhood memories of Somnath. We used to go there regularly since one of my uncles is a trustee there.
