Letters: India journey and Miami scene

India good for the soul, spirit

What a pleasure to feel the Indian experience again with Roslyn Greenwald, by Jeff Greenwald [“Mom and the Taj Mahal,” May 11]. I love personal tales like this one; it’s easy to find hotels and itineraries on the Web.

--Joyce Tapper, Van Nuys

India isn’t for everyone, but for those who go and allow themselves to be immersed in that place, it is an experience of a lifetime. At first it is total sensory overload, but it is addicting and the pull to return never goes away.

--Marty Wilson, Whittier

I so enjoyed Greenwald’s article on touring India with his mom. I went to India by myself in 2006. Your article brought back all the sights and sounds.

I don’t believe in God and I am Jewish, but I too was moved by the spirituality that Greenwald’s mother spoke about. I too bought a Ganesha and have it in my shrine from all my travels.

There is something about India that stirs the soul and awakens the spirit.

That’s so Miami

Excellent story [“Full-Tilt Miami,” May 11]. As a Miami native, transplanted to Orange County, I can say you did justice to the attitudes of residents. Down to the dishwasher, yes.
