Eating my way through a weekend in Pune

The following are some pictures of my continuous food-coma in Pune.  I spent the weekend there, and my last few days in India for now, visiting old friends Farshad and Yeeteng, eating at all the places I have missed for the last year and a half, and visiting my dear DISHA ladies at Deep Griha Society.  It was the perfect way to end a wonderful month in India and I'm already looking forward to when I can come back again!

Popse in Lucknow

So my time in Lucknow flew by and suddenly it was my last week and then last day in the office!  It was busy busy busy every day but thankfully I managed to get everything done that I needed to do including a couple more days in the field doing some pilot testing and interviewing and working on reports.  Here's a few pictures!  From there I went on to Pune to spend my last couple days in India visiting old friends and Deep Griha!
