An open letter to movie producers:
Somebody needs to come to this city and make another tier 1 movie. The last movie that was filmed here is “Octopussy”, which in itself brings about bad memories for me (mainly of me at the “Sword and Shield” theatre in Sherwood Park, with my face barley getting over the […]

Today I didn’t see the sunset. I had every intention of watching it instead I saw, a moving painting… the painting is by “the giant brain in the middle of the universe that loves me kindly” and it’s set on proving to me that it exists. So, I’m currently sitting on red stone steps, between […]

We started off by accidentally ending up on a bus that took us to Mathura, the reported birthplace of Krishna.
So – we checked it out, and went to Krishnajanmabhoomi (which means the birth place of Krishna) and saw the temple, which is built on the reported birthplace of Krishna. We had to release our cameras, […]

Alright, it’s not that bad. However, if you’re chatting over a difficult cell phone connection/ overseas phone call, it’s possible to understand how you could misinterpret the word Varanasi into the familiar words “Very nasty”.

Bodhgaya
Wednesday, December 6th, 2006
You know, it’s difficult to describe what I am seeing here… When I first arrived here it was between 5:30 and 6:15 in the morning, the roatation of the eath was forcing the sun itself into the sky. It’s was beautiful, it seemed like the sky was on fire, the air carried a chill and the breeze of […]

Well, it’s difficult to express my thoughts on Bodhgaya, as I’ve only been here for a short time. Last night I got on the night train from Kolkata, which was an experience.
