There, that dates me. We were always encouraged to avoid Tiswas as, being aired on a commercial channel, it was considered low-brow.

"Will you play Holi?"

"Happeeee Holeeee"

"I wish you a happy, successful and colourful year."

(Nearly) all pictures taken with a Canon Powershot S1 IS with WP-DC50 waterproof casing, for obvious reasons.

No more blogs for a month I'm afraid, we're off trekking in Nepal.

Udaipur, the night before Holi

It is amazing no-one was hurt when this massive pyre was lit by a trail of gunpowder that ran through the streets. Young lads launched fireworks like demented racoons as the many unprepared onlookers ran for their lives.

Much to the, purely academic, interest of the many onlookers.

Oi, Nutter ..... yes you!
I'm gobsmacked that you went right into the heart of a favella in Rio to get a few photos. What's wrong with the usual tourist snaps of Sugarloaf mountain and the Copacabana? I always thought you were bonkers. Now I know for sure. Still, it seems you got out alive and with an amazing set of photos to boot. Did Kim accompany you? By the way, do you want your mountain bike back as we're off to Sarawak in September.

Girls??
I guess I was trying to be polite ... see "City Of Djinns" by William Dalrymple for a sensitive account of the lives of some of India's estimated 750,000 eunuchs.

Especially like the guy in the glasses and the poor old cow!!! thanks for making me smile - happy safe travelling

Great work
You can see by the faces on the people that you are no tourist!, you are a man who loves the world of capturing that right moment. The favellas in my experience have always been the heart of Brazil! keep up those great pics!!!
