雪泥鴻爪在天竺

這一系列的遊記原是當我遊印歸來以後所寫的，通過電郵發給朋友。我在二零零五年夏季，赴印三週，遊歷印度其中兩個大城市──阿姆達巴得與孟買。這趟經歷，讓我大開眼界，使我重新思考很多重要問題，由民族主義到現代化，由扶貧到預防愛滋病的政策。

這十篇文章完稿於二零零五年六月底至七月底。它們組成了我原來計劃中的第一部份。我本打算繼續寫第二三部份，前者述我遊孟買(Mumbai, formerly known as Bombay)與潘尼(Pune)之經歷，後者細說我深刻的反思。可惜，我沒有時間再寫下去。但願在我不久的將來，我可以把我的經歷與反思提煉成心血結晶，寫下更好的文章。

第一部分

一、抵印

二、阿姆達巴得

三、Jyoti Sangh

四、一位滿有慈心的教授

五、一位對我很好的社工

六、機動三輪車

七、古吉拉特大學

八、為何印度人現在繼續使用英語

九、印度的語言（一）

十、印度的語言（二）

My footsteps in India

This was a series of travel journals that I sent to my friends after my three-week journeys in India. I visited two cities—Ahmedabad and Mumbai. This was a fantastic eye-opening experience which prompts me to think again a lot of important questions in wide range of topics, from nationalism to modernisation, from poverty relief to HIV prevention policy.

These ten newsletters were written from late June to late July, 2005. They formed the Part One of my original writing plan. I intended to write Parts Two and Three which would describe my journeys in Mumbai and Pune in the former and my deep reflections upon my Indian experiences in the latter. However, I never got the time to write them. I do hope that in the near future, I would be able to distillate and crystallise my experiences thoughts and turn them into essays better than that in Part One.

Part One

1. Arrival at India

2. Ahmedabad

3. Jyoti Sangh

4. A compassionate professor

5. A social worker who is very kind to me

6. Auto-rickshaw

7. Gujarat University

8. Why Indians continue to use English today?

9. Languages of India (1)

10. Languages of India (2)
