Descendents return

As it turns out, one of our company is descended from the great Gengis Kahn, the Mongolian warrior who is so well known in the history of these parts. In fact, in honour of this descendence, we have nicknamed her the 'terror of the universe' (which is not truly a refection of who she is, but at least puts fear into the hearts of those who would cross her from time to time.

This alliance is particularly interesting given the fact that we are visiting in the land of Indian Rajs and Maharaji. Perhaps if we traced the blood lines back with enough care and accuracy, we might even discover that these are her ancestral homelands, and that she still has right of succession ... or maybe not. In any case, dreams are cheap and hope springs eternal.
