Don’t get fooled by roadside stalls selling cheap imitations of Indian handicrafts and hand looms. Buy from govt. and state emporiums to get genuine quality souvenirs. If your base is Delhi, visit Delhi Haat or Janpath for authentic products. Never fall prey to cheap street shops claiming to sell original Pashmina.

When I landed on the atheist networking, I was on Google, and it recorded “647,000 for atheist social network.” The majority of these sites at the top of Google’s search were nothing more than some Christians arguing with a bunch of Atheist. I couldn’t help but wonder why a Christian would do that. If your God is too weak to defend Himself, He has a problem. I do not have to defend God – nor can I possibly protect Him. My God is too big for a mere human to shield.
