Narcissistic Neon Noodle Nirvana – Six Days in Bangkok

So Calcutta came and went in a flash. Mother Teresa’s tomb was an unexpected highlight and it’s certainly a city i would like to explore further when i return to the mother land. Arriving in Thailand was a stark contrast to India. Clean, a hilarious accent and full of westerners. After being here for almost…

Is Roller Skating a Meditation?

You can’t relax with it, i can’t relax without it. Where do we fit without fear? Inhale – Exhale – Exhale Inhale. Nothing everything. Internal external. Dread panic nothing. Pre Earthquake…..

It’s totaly lashing down like nothing else i have ever experienced in Mumbai. The arrival came at 4:00 AM on Thursday morning. We were picked up by a turban clad Sikh who drove us to our pre-booked, over priced shit hole overlooking the Arabian Sea. The taxi ride through a wet dark city was rather…

The Day My Head Exploded – Part III / Are Eyes Organs?
Thank god the browser has opened! My head is about to explode, in words instead of a Polaroid image. Stress of the final few days makes me a little edgy as i don’t take well to being told what to do, especially after a heady afternoon in the pub and a little too much to drink. Time continues running away and the…
