Malaria and me!

Saturday, 7 Jun 2008 | Views [2091] | Comments [1]

I hadn't been feeling too well for about week on and off. Our last night in Nairobi I started having some cramps and what not (I'll let you use your imagination for the definition of "what not") But we had already bought or tickets on an overnight ... Read more >


OOOH GOD, UGALI!

Well, here I am again about to apologize for my tardiness in updating and trying to put into words my latest experiences. I promise you, this time my excuse is good! AND: OH THE DRAMA, OH THE SUSPENSE! Read on... Where do I begin? How about here: Watoto ... Read more >


Letting go.

Well, Again I find it's been a while and I have so much to catch up. Bare with me. Assam. I loved Assam! When we finally reached the right side of the island it was like a fairy tale! Unbelievable. The island was lit up at night with a thousand fireflies ... Read more >


Love and Hate in the Dry Seasons.

Monday, 14 Apr 2008 | Views [2574] | Comments [8]

So Long Farewell...

Thursday, 10 Apr 2008 | Views [667]

We are finally getting out of here. Don't get me wrong, I love Kolkata, but our time here has been slightly annoying as things didn't seem to work in our favor much. We had planned to go on to Sunderbaans- fell through; See the Jain temples- closed; ... Read more >

Sunday, 6 Apr 2008 | Views [777]

I seem to never be sure where to begin when I sit down to write. Of course I'm always on the move and only have a bit of time at the computer when I get to use it. It's hard to convey not just the feelings of a place but also the effect of the place ... Read more >


A quick note on India, poverty and space.

Monday, 31 Mar 2008 | Views [3182] | Comments [3]

Something that has been on mind a lot since I arrived here in India is space. The first thing I noticed upon arrival is the way people shove; stand so close they push up against you; pass their bags right in front of your face, sometimes literally ... Read more >


Darjeeling my love...

Monday, 31 Mar 2008 | Views [734] | Comments [1]

Well- LONG strange journey for sure. Where to begin... Currently I am BACK in Darjeeling. But I'll start further back than that. New York was great, catching up with Jojo and Lisa and Adam was a blast. I got my first glance at my new apartment. That's ... Read more >
