Dharamsala To Ladakh, a life affirming bus journey and a look at stillness.

I have just been completed one of the most amazing journeys I have been on. It lasted 4 days, it spanned temperatures from 45c to below 0, from a few hundred meters above sea level to heights that impede breathing. However, despite all this a major highlight of the journey was the feeling that the …

Radio silence over

After 4 months of not writing, even totally neglecting emails I finally feel like writing again. I think something jarred my mind a bit which made writing not so appealing. I think it has to do with my sudden passion for juggling, and then a huge passion for drawing swept me up, I have been …

Varanasi to Goa to Mumbai and a part in a Bollywood movie, to Jodpur.

After some time with rare internet visits, taking many trains and a course of antibiotics, living on a beach, staring in a Bollywood movie and leaving hot places for even hotter places, I suddenly feel like sitting in front of my computer and writing for a while.

Me Tooth Got Done So I Finally Left Delhi.

Hoorah! I finally left Delhi, and sheesh I was getting a bit sick of it. Its very high pressure, so much pestering.

Hanuman!!!

Woooo!! The mighty mighty half monkey half man god Hanuman!! Wooo!!! Kneel before the great one!! And quite contraversial one, the upper caste Hindu’s don’t count him as a god, I think its because he’s half animal, and that does imply some promiscuity twixt man and beast, whereas the lower caste Hindu’s do count him …

Im living up a hill (to be sung to that living in a box song, you know the one I mean “Im living in a box, im living in a cardboard box!”).

Its true, im living up the top of a very high hill, you could call it a mountain really. There’s a shepards village up there, that they only use in the monsoon time, at the moment they just sleep outside wherever they are. There’s no electricity or running water, there is a spring near by, …

Everybody seems the same all over, the search for love and comfort constantly, if it comes your way tommorow count yourself lucky, life shows no mercy.

I was going to write something poignant about how everyone is searching for love and comfort, and how whilst traveling I find a sense of comfort, and a feeling of love for the people I meet and the scenery I see, and how even though im not working, and mainly just hanging out eating, chatting, …

Gokarna to Varanasi really quickly

Feels like ive not done a post in a long time, I guess I havn’t. I’m now in Varanasi, in the north, but still in the heat, gotta go further up vertical ways for cooler air. Share this:EmailFacebookPrintStumbleUponDiggReddit

Loads of pictures of people that wanted me to take a picture of them, plus some others that arn’t of people. And a picture of the two guys I was happily chatting to in the Botanical gardens in Bangalore who wanted me to post the picture of them on my site.

Im now in Gokarna with Dave, on the east coast this time, its much much more picturesque than Puri, its a little more hipper, as in a more younger scene, there’s more touristy shops than Puri, but it is very very beautiful. Its a very small place, and a very religous place. As usual lots …
