About this blog

In the Australian summer of 2006 I bought a Lonely Planet guide to India from the early 70s at a shop near Adelaide. It was a thing of beauty, perhaps even a first-edition, and I'm not sure why I gave it away. Three years later I've come to India to work, travel, and experience one of the world's most fascinating and convoluted countries.
