What is it about Mondays I wonder? It’s a universal syndrome beyond redemption. Mondays just don’t spell right. Today, my Monday was a holiday. It started off with irritation with me reading Jerk’s post to Ranjana Malhotra and that creepy crawly feeling that I get when this lumbering turd looms in any way in my […]
Do you ever get this feeling at the end of a full day that you just have done nothing at all and you have no words to write at all? Yet that day would be so full of things to do and surprises to be had like ice creams by the cone. Today was one […]
“Terra Incognito.” Unknown terrain. That phrase stuck in my mind ever since I heard it first on this mindblowingly fascinating BBC television series -Planet Earth. This is one of those DVDs that must adorn every home on earth. I wish relentless poachers around the world who scavenge an animal for its fur, tusks or worse […]
Bizarre day today. A dark cloud of lightning sparking in my mind. It all started with and ended with nothing. After all the rush of words yesterday, today is a blank page. Another one of those days that pass by in meaningless chatter of the crude rude. Aye, that is my new phrase. To define […]

Sad to begin a post on such a morose note. But today is the last day of the bliss of Sanya. Perhaps, I shouldn’t use the word bliss. The last two days of sea and sun and rain have been bliss. But what hasn’t been bliss is the feeling of being let down. Now that […]
Can you believe it? Landed a great fare from Sanya to Zhengzhou for just 600RMB! Now, that might still be expensive by Indian standards – but remember this is a 3-hour flight from the southernmost tip to all the way in the north! And it tops what has been a really luxurious holiday! Ok, granted. […]
Today is the day for which Birdie and I came to Sanya. Birdie’s birthday! And today is the day that has left me in a strange paroxysm of rage. I know I am a bit of a strange head, if I may call it so. I act crazily, stupidly, and weirdly and add all the […]
Morning dawned here in Sanya in a haze of dusky dawn. The sun filtering its shafts through the roof of the sky. There was just no time to waste. None at all. To the beach. Jane’s Backpackers Hostel has to be among the best places I have ever stayed in. “Just a 3- minute walk […]
