... I'm looking at all these cool pictures you've taken in this post, yet there's no mention of the cool places you have visited. Cheer up, Ralf! Hey! You could be like a Dutch Ibn Battuta and have a dozen wives and countless concubines, at least two in every country over the course of three decades. And if no-one wants you, I have you! :-*
I have been following your blog and enjoying India through you, as you go along in your adventures, taking me with you to all those wonderful places through your stories, photos and your great sense of humor.
Having a broken heart is the worst, but it always heals -even though at times it may seem as impossible. You are living a great live! It could be worst, you could be living a boring-sedentary life and still risk having a broken heart! Hang in there Your Dudeness!
You're right. One piece of bad news can turn all the beauty in the world into pointless crap.
But the good thing about the future is that it's ahead of you and it's yours.
You don't know me, but I read you blog, been to many of the places you're visiting, and I absolutely love everything you write.

relationships how ya goin now mate? hope all is well! since u dont wna any pity from me over ur lost relationship, i wont give u any. of course, i always hope the best for u and keep u chin up! look on the bright side...i still love u :)
Quite true.
Sorry to hear about your recent troubles. Travellers like us are always making a sacrifice either to travel and deal with long distance relationships or lack of them, or to sacrifice travel for more fulfilling relationships. Its almost impossible to decide what is the "right" thing to do, we just have to take every day as a beautiful gift and enjoy it no matter what our circumstances are. now. Dont dwell on the past, our minds make us suffer!
This would probably make for a good forum topic about loves made and lost while travelling those who manage to travel with each other and those that have given travelling up to be with their partners, its a very poignant discussion.. Speak soon!
Sorry Hi mate,
I have been following your travels through your blog for a while now. Very sorry to read about your relationship.
I guess this ain't the best time for it, but whilst you are in India, why not travel to Bhopal?
It's a nice city, not very busy and is much cleaner than most other Indian cities. And from Bhopal, you can travel another 200km to a hill station called Pachmarhi.
You may have already been to these places as you have travelled India before i know.
So if that is the case, ignore my message.
I hope you find happiness, it takes enormous guts to do what you do and as you rightly said, its not for everyone.
All the best.
Fan club!!! Hey, you have quite a following of fanatical people, I'm impressed and obviously the poem was cool too. But you're obviously not travelling with a toddler. All that time you have to write poetry!!!
Next time I'd like to see a poem written in Dubai with your niece by your side, lol!!!
Besos y a pronto.
great pics hi...am a Mizo living in Shillong. never seen the blue mountain but my dad used to talk about it...seeing your pics made me want to go there...maybe under '100 things to do before I die"....hope you get to go again.
peace
Isn't there a poet in all of us? It was nice reading a blog in verse. Good going! And, let me assure you that you are a better poet than I am. ( Believe me, I had to grapple with my ego for about five minutes before I could admit the fact)

I loved reading this -- thank you. The photos are great too. I haven't been in Tamil Nadu since the tsunami 3 1/2 years ago. I was just thinking about those people the other day... Dod they get on with their lives? Are things back to "normal", whatever that is supposed to mean?
Best; A
You gotta love India! "You gotta love India!" Indeed...your little tale captures the little pains and pleasures of the Indian experience so well. Hassles sometimes: Yes, Hospitality: Almost always!
flash back Wow these photos bring me back to when I was a teenager, I think I inspected every statue and relief in the whole of Khajurao, I was very young!!! Lol!!
You didn't say anything about Gwalior, I had such a good time there. Stayed in the Gwalior school where two boys looked after us, very well. (Gwalior school is a sister school to my last school!)
As I just rolled up to the school and told them that!!! Unbelievably not only did we get free board and lodging but fantastic guides and got treated like Ranis!
Ljubljana I loved Ljubljana. :)
The late night bars and clubs are really good. I was there in the middle of the week and when I left the club at 5AM it was still alive and kicking. Makes me wonder what the weekends would be like. :D
Economical travel from the Middle East Hi I read your excerpt about your sister moving to Dubai and it was fun and interesting. My fiancee lives in Muscat, Oman. He is wanting to come to the states for a few months visit. I live in Texas, is there any recommended cheap route from the Middle East to the US? I've been checking prices and they just keep going up. If I find a deal from the US to Europe or the Middle East when I try it the other way around it's not a deal anymore. Help!?? jang
