Visa Interrupted

Around four o'clock last night (well, 4am this morning) I was attacked by a cat; I'm sure it was an accident, but the cats were racing around, jumped on my bed (the California King - and I was sleeping head towards the foot board, so really they weren't expecting my face to be at the foot of the bed, in their defense) and used my face as a spring board to rocket off the bed.  It happened to fast, and then they were gone (afraid of what they'd done) I don't even know which cat did it!!
However...to the point at hand...I was going to go get visa photos today, but now I have these huge, long scrapping claw marks down the side of my face and neck.  And I recall that one of the questions on the Indian visa application was..."Do you have any visible distinguishing marks?" to which I answered, "no".  So, I could hardly submit a photo with long, pronounced, parallel lines running down the side of my face like some tribal tattoos, now could I??  That would be an immediate...
...visa
...denied!!

Visa - And I'm Not Talkin' Credit Cards

Started my visa process - application is all online now and so far, it's been a very pleasant process.

Here's my last India visa...

The process to get this one was much more difficult.  I was living on a small Greek Island, Paros, and had to take a ferry boat to the mainland, then schlep into town (Athens) and find the India Embassy, fill out piles of paper work, pay big baksheesh and wait around for days hoping it would be approved.  Obviously, I got approval to enter India for the second time in my life on April 29, 1981--------------->
The passport with this India visa has more visas in it than any of my other passports.  With this now expired passport, I circumnavigated the globe.

(The first time I went to India was with my parents in 1968 - somewhere I have that visa, too.)
