Bandwidth remains a fickle, miserly mistress, but I've been able to cram a few photos through the thin straw and more will follow. First up, the riot cops last Thursday:

Next, a cremation about to begin at Pushpatinath, the holiest site in Nepal for Hindu funeral rites.

I visited the temple complex at Pushpatinath last weekend, and witnessed several such cremations underways. My tour guide reassured me that taking photos was offensive to neither the grieving nor to Vishnu.

however i hear shiva and ganesha are mighty ticked off
Well, I trust in the mercy of Ganesh, for he is beneficent and graceful. And Shiva gets pretty cranky pretty easily, so I don't much stock in that.
