"Can I Call You Back? I'm on a Camel Right Now."

Vivek Wadhwa actually said that as we were riding camels today. Yes, the trend of amazing cell coverage in emerging markets while I can't get a signal in my living room continues. I am far too tired to write a more salient post than that. So here are some pictures of me and a camel named Raju.

Raju: "Sigh. Another American wants a ride."

 Note: I'm a little trepidatious about this whole camel thing at first...

 

Boarding all rows...

 

Raju takes a break. Exhausted from carrying me around.

 

Back on the camel.

 

And, you're done Raju. Drink up, pal. You've earned it.

 

Being on the camel wasn't really scary at all-- it was relaxing. We're supposed to be riding elephants today after a meet up with the Jaipur Chapter of TiE, an amazing group for connecting and supporting Indian entrepreneurs around the world.

I think the elephant will be scary.
