Looks like I am getting shipped to India next week. Being that Tuesday is Gandhi's birthday, I will have a day off from work. Since I have been inoculated for everything from Malaria to Hepatitis, I am not afraid of the woods and was hoping that there would be Orienteering in India that I could attend. I've found references to the "Orienteering Federation of India" but no further info. Anyone have experience/contacts with Orienteering in Mumbai, India? Does orienteering exist there? It was a former British colony so who knows!

Nice article! Reminds me of the Kite Runners in the book with the same title. Note to self: Avoid dead-end alleys...
Oh well... O in India is starting to look grim.

I've sent them mail but no response.
Belly dancing, elephant rides, outsourced programming, I will be doing it all except drinking the water!
