Thinkin' on your stomach.

Quite a 'hiatus', yet again, yes. But like the Stranger in a Strange Land (ala Heinlein's book and Exodus 2:22),I have plenty of stories to tell.

I've been travelling, to say the least. A jolly ride very much through the length and breadth of India, starting under the sweltering heat of the Deccan sun in Hyderabad to the warm,humid and culture-heavy capital of Bengal and from there to Delhi where temperatures dipped to a near-freezing Six Degrees and then on to that weird, esoteric city of Bangalore, whose people and places I can never understand, and finally back to self's home state which Vivekananda (Swami, if you like) famously chose to call 'a lunatic asylum'. There, that sounds like a classic weatherman's report.

All in all, a judicious mix of reckless fun and invaluable lessons.
