fun read Thank you for the entertaining insight. I'll be headed to Goa for a few weeks in July so I'm reading randomness via intraweb :) i'll be traveling alone too, but i'm a guy, so it's just more awkward as people tend to be less open to a guy than a girl. enjoy, and thanks again. keep traveling!

Interview Hi,
My name is Naina Sethi, and I am a reseacher on Hippie Culture. I started my research twentry days ago for two reasons. First, meeting new people really fascinates me. And second, I want an internship at NDTV , India- which is the biggest television network in India. I have more aims in life. I also want to become editor in chief of Elle India. For now, I am in High School. But please don't judge me on my age- I am way too mature .
I want to interview you via email- if only it is alright with you. I am writing a paper on hippie culture. If you are interested, please email me back as soon as possible at nainasethi_13@yahoo.com . If you agree to get interviewed via email, I can keep your name and information confidential ( If you want ). I would love to ask you questions- because I presume that you just had an experience worth talking about !
Thank you so much !!
you're not a hippy, aint' you ? I was in Goa back in the hippies time, the seventies (a bit after the glorious years) and I am amused at your comments..."an hundu woman propose some weed, can you believe it !!!!" muhahaha go to Varanasi, you will be proposed heroïn !
what about peshawar back in those days....? you should have seen that !
I think I will retire in Goa.
Bamboulé !!!
Loved your great adventure You should make this a 200 page book! It would certainly publish! I loved the small details, the young children with their backpacks half unzipped. The mean tour man! Loved it!!! I am a film director and will be going to India in January! I am working on a film about an an American rock star backpacking through India.. Your adventure gave me some good insight! Please drop me a line sometime! Maybe you'll get your Bollywood chance! Julia
Hippie OMG you are back the day after tomorrow! Exciting! We will have story session for sure!!! Even though we all "know" your adventures so far because of this blog..stories are always better in person when the person is explaining with hand motions and voices and facial expressions lol!!! Although I know I am abnormally animated for a human being (but not too much for a cartoon character) which is why I feel that facial expressions and body language makes a story even better, I know that you know how to get animated and tell a great story so I am excited! Ok I am rambling...anyway British guys can be hilarious! I dont know about this dreadlock talk lol but you never know maybe it will be a good look for you lol! But for now I think you should start with something smaller..like BANGS lol jk! Anyway cant wait till you are back! Have a safe flight and see you soon! Love ya!
Hey! Ooooo the food you described sounds amazing! I am craving it right now lol!!!! Hopefully you will find some young, hot ppl at the next beach. But be safe! ;) Have fun and can't wait till you get back! Yay!
Yay! Yay I cant wait for your return!! Although I will miss your stories lol!! They get more and more interesting..Im addicted lol! I am excited to hear how the clubs in Bombay are and to hear what Goa is like! Be safe and have tons of fun! Love you!
Wow! OMG the cremation stuff is a little creepy! But it all sounds so fascinating! Although I think I would get really cranky, snappy if people kept pushing themselves on me lol! The Monkey temple sounds so amazing and fun!!!! And the Golden Temple very interesting! I seriously cant wait for pictures=)
Ooops Haha oops forgot to fill out the top of the last message (about going to Greece this summer, awesome that you are meeting foreigners, and the tragedy of untreated cleft palates!) but it was from me..
Yes Greece this summer! And that is great that you have a contact person for us all haha! That is really great about all the travelers that you are meeting along the way! I think that is one great way to bond with strangers..to know that you are all in a foreing country and do not presonally know many people in the area! Sounds like you are really getting along with a lot of people..I am very glad about that! And I am excited to read about the North (and your train ride)! Have fun and be safe! Miss you!
P.S. Oooo cleft palates are very intense/sad if they havent been treated! I have NEVER seen anyone with Leprosy but that must have been very sad too!
Ew! OMG I am sure you knew as you were writing this that I would FREAK out about the pedicure to facial thing!!!!! Ahhhhhh my biggest fear realized lol!!! Good Jacki for saying no lol! Anyway, interestingly enough my second biggest fear is dirty dishes haha! But when I am traveling I become a different person..down and dirty=) I am soooo jealous about the cooking class!! I cant wait till you teach me how to make each of those dishes!!!! Yummm! Well miss you and cant wait to read about your next adventure! Hopefully in the North =D Luv ya!
Everyday fruit smoothies- 2 words - magic bullet. Pedicure to a facial!? Haha, I could only imagine..... her using the same pick for your toe jams to pop your face pimples!
So you are not planning on going to north India? I was under the impression you would travel the entire country, which i figured should leave you quite busy since the India is not exactly a small country. But I interpreted from a bit of this post that you would not be traveling throughout.
I had imaged you would be running through the busy towns of India, shop through the street markets, ride on cattle, travel by man-pulled-cart, dance with snake charmers, and wander through wilderness.
And I've heard that Rekhie massage is supposed to be a very intense energy/aura type of deal, and a true Rekhie master could give you such an intense/emotional/body high feeling without even touching you. At least thats what I hear, supposedly only very few have this ability. So go find yourself one highly accredited through the talks of the town.
Serenity It all sounds amazing!! I am so glad! I feel at peace just reading your blog! And I agree the best way to branch out while, at the same time, learning more about yourself is to travel! Greece!! Lets go in June/July! I agree Switzerland is nice and peaceful..afterall they are neutral lol jk ok that was lame=) Of course I think Japan is great but that is definitely a separate trip from Europe lol=) And I think I told you but my cousins went on an African Safari a year or two ago and said hands down was the BEST trip ever!!! They are VERY well traveled so that is saying a lot! Well I am very happy to hear that things seem to be getting better by the hour and that you are starting to have that peaceful journey that you hoped for! I was sick and depressed yesterday and was really wishing I was there with you;) Then the sweetest thing..Fareda and Sherry surprised me and showed up at my door!! It was so nice, I felt so loved lol!! But anyway it is very lonely in this big town without you lol (I sound like your lesbian lover lol)!! I cant wait till your back!! Hopefully with new insights to who you are and what you want in life=) But until then keep having an amazing time and be safe! Love you! <3
omg ok these are things i wanted to warn you about but theres no way to expect this treatment right??
ok so be strong and know your face value. basically thats all :D
ppl will eventually open your doors without thinking of your pants...

jacki you should have known from the moment you saw the ****ner eyes!!!!! lol.....you had me in suspense reading this blog..fareda and I are glued to the computer right now...like a movie..she wants to print it out and publish it!!! lol we miss you and i am soo sorry to hear this fucking bastard guy annoying the shit out of you, i would have cried too =( stay strong i'm sure your trip will get better..love you and be safe!!!!! muah!
Fun! I am so glad to hear things are getting better! I really wish I had gone with you! My fault I truly consider it until it was too late=( BUt maybe you wouldnt have enjoyed it as much if you had someone tagging along lol! Sounds great though, especially as I sit here in front of my work computer "doing work" with a deathly illness and temperature! I cant wait to travel! We better do Greece this summer..no joke! Fareda and Sherry are down now too!! I love British people lol! My mom is a total anglophile! Obsessed! Maybe we can venture to England together sometime! Go wild in the Pubs lol! Well anyway, I knew it wouldnt be too long before you became BFF with someone there..I am very happy (as long as you dont forget your California BFFs lol!)!! Ok miss you and look forward to hearing more stories! Continue to have fun and be safe!! <3 you!
