Wow, wow and thanks!

The names of places and people are unfathomable. But that Ptolemy had written about India is news to me. J.W. McCrindle seems to have written quite a few gems on Indian history.

very interesting--and a real find

No download?

Precisley, no download!!!

Could not locate a pdf download for the book. Alternately, this link might be useful : http://www.google.co.in/search?q=%22Ancient+India+as+Described+by+Ptolemy%22&btnG=Search&hl=en&tbo=1&tbs=bks%3A1%2Cbkv%3Af&sa=2

Have got too used to the downloads! Really miss them when not possible. I am shortly retiring to the Himalayas to read all the books I have downloaded from your page!! :)

@Sumedha: Please do not forget to carry your laptop and a wireless modem. Get Idea!

@ SS :) I am sure you know what I mean...my iMac is staggering under the weight of downloaded books and I am like a squirrel with too many nuts! Yup. silence, solitude, peace , laptop and books sounds perfect! With a wi fi I may not be able to resist FB, however!

Sumedha Verma : Why on earth do you want to run to Himalayas ? You are in 'Switzerland' already !!

:) Thanks for reminding me!

Himalayas are our own, the Alps theirs.

Cogitation on ancient India should be in the lap of the Himalayas, correct place equal to great ideas! :)

lap, alps, laptops, hilltops, meditation, cogitation,....yes, it all adds up.
