rapturous
you're review is rapturous. want to spend a month at Odissi Dance school too.....does that mean you fly through the belching toxic fumes of traffic and rubbish when you have to leave and go outside. seems like a rude contrast between life in dance and life on earth.

One of my favourite passtimes too
I have a most live ducks on a bike entry - will email

Another outstanding entry, bud! Well done. You capture the art of Odissi dance with great eloquence. Your words are as captivating as the dance! - I thought I was right there with you in the audience (though hungry for a paratha and paneer given the late start :))

Odissi dance
Yes. It is a lovely traditional dance form and I am so glad that the Govt. is doing its mite to keep it alive.

Enjoyed your post Paul! Hope all's well. I miss all these crazy road rules.

Enjoyed this blog Paul!

Fantastic!!!
Oh dude!!! Very good job! You already told me that you had a good idea for this blog! Very funny! It was also funny taking this pictures from the back of Gladys! We can repeat when you want! ;)

thank heavens for 'lerve'
gorgeous to read of your exploring lerve and leisurely lust in south India. i do remember Kerala state as lush and abundant when I was there a '000 years ago. I loved the flower garlands and street iddlies and dosa and the waterways. It's great to read about the your opportunities for meeting such a collection of internationals and how your story meanders with them. always promising myself to catch up more regularly sending out good thoughts cheers Annette

Thumbs up
Amazing, buddy! A real pleasure to read: witty, endearing, funny, interesting. Keep it up! May I suggest - in order to make your readers travel even further - that you add a map of India, with the highlighted route of your trip? So many tongue-twister names that I can somewhat approximately place, but would love to place the where and when more precisely..! Catch ya soon on Gmail :)

Lovely photographs, would like to see more of course .... Sarita

Poor Gladys

There is something about Balinese...
Same experience for me with Balinese people ...'Lovely smiles which seem to be the default mode for them. And a way of relating that immediately makes you feel warm and accepted. And they are very laid back...' My experience of the chaotic traffic in Bali (once attuned by Putu ... our beautiful young Balinese driver ... to the harmony and love that is so much part of the culture )was of sailing along down a river ... ebbs and flows and lots of respect...
