The Hype Up Post

The beginning of a new year is always great; however, I seem to give myself a ton of new resolutions (such as blogging once a week) that I start, but fail to continue with. It was nice the first couple weeks, rushing from basketball to play practice to homework, always busy. Now, January 28th just a couple weeks in, I am spent.

I suppose that was my way of saying, I'm sorry I seemed to have forgotten to write in my blog.

There is a silver lining to this all though, seeing that I will be headed to Dubai (I know, Dubai!) in about a week and half for my basketball tournament (and yes, since my blog is all about spreading my experiences in the east to the west I will be blogging about my time in the UAE). Then just a week after that I will head out to Orchha (central India) for about a week for some hiking, rafting, and relaxation.

Even though I don't really have much to write about India now, I'm hoping to hype y'all up because you know my next blog posts will be interesting ones. The only thing really special in India right now, is the weather. That beautiful, cool spring breeze from the Himalayas is coming into Delhi right about now, making it the perfect time to visit India. It's around 70' F in the day and 50' F in the night. 

I'd hate to put in a random photo at the end of this blog, but one of my resolutions was to make sure every single one of my posts this year had a picture. Alas, I have no photos concerning Dubai, Orchha, or the weather so here's a picture of Humayun's tomb, the grandfather of the guy who commissioned the Taj Mahal for his wife (I hope that made sense). Slightly less grand, but still a fantastic place.

For a guy who didn't do much besides get high on opium, this is still a pretty nice place to be buried.
