My friend Joe and I were talking about you yesterday. "That astute investor in Texas, that man who is always right. Yes, the other Mohan...the man who might have used Dr. Reddy's medicines." Between times, I was reading the best guide book to India every published "Murray's Guide to India".. first published in the 1890's. It is updated regularly (but hard to get and scarce in this country). I was contrasting what it said about Cochin Mohan and what the Cadogan Guide to South India said. Cadogan is the best guide to India out there, culturally at least, but the old Murray's Guide just beats it hands down. If you don't have acopy go out and find The Murray's Guide to India! Did you know that Cochin was the first European settlement in India? That Christianity reached Cochin and Kerala in the Second Century AD? That Vasco de Gama died in Cochin on his second trip there (after circling the earth) but he had made a trip to Cochin first 25 years before his death. I remember going to a South Indian monument some 40 years ago and with Murray's Guide in hand gettingdirections like..." from the southernmost corner of the temple walk fifty pacesforward towards the banyan tree by the river. At the tree run left sixty paces and dig. Ther you will find one of the masterpieces of Hoysala sculpture." I did it. And there it was! Now, probably, it's in the Museum fur Volkerkunde in Leiden. Ah, fascinating stuff. Today Kerala wins hands down the award as the most congenial place in India. Wait...just wait until the Bangalore people see they can live with sea breezes... buy Indian coastal real estate now! My best,
