White Christmas in India

This (now past) year, I got to experience a truly white Christmas in India (to be fair, I fled India during the season in 2009). Clearly, I'm not talking about the snow. December/Jan is wedding season in India! Actually, though I'm not talking about the resplendent brides in white dresses/saris (see example below).


I'm talking about the overwhelming number of foreigners (mostly white) that visit India during this season. The reasons to visit are 4-fold:

1) Aforementioned wedding season
2) Weather in most of India is ideal in Dec/Jan
3) Vacation time in US/Europe
4) "Exotic" Emerging Markets Business School/College Trips


So, thank you for all the friends that visited me this season. Hope you had a great time in India. Enjoyed hanging out with all of you!
