Katep's Guestbook

nice blog
Just wanted to say I enjoyed your blog, and met my fair share of sunita along the way, jointly I got my fair share of bargains that I felt bad about, so I guess it all balances up some how

Religeon in India.
Hi Katie, Without getting into the politics I think some understanding of the religion is of great use where you are.You probably know this means Hindu: Vishnu The Preserver Brahma The Creator Shiva The Destroyer As well as 2 million others,including our old favourite Ganesh who everybody loves. Good Luck and keep on truckin' Uncle Pete.

Best of luck

"Travel Passions"
Katie, I read your blog from Auntie Christine's e-mail.Travel has been extensively observed since time immemorial,but it's different for everyone and for every journey. Firstly, the purpose should never be to run away,unless it has a healing purpose. Secondly, it is often the case that although the traveller has had many and varied experiences abroad, which are not available at home. He/She returns to find friends have moved on, and maybe matured in a different way. In fact Henry Miller proclaimed that the greatest journey an individual can take is the journey inward, and from what you say it seems your route is at least partly through travel.(All very Phsyco Babble) I agree with you that your travels will be much richer with a bit of challenge and discomfort, as it forces you to take risks, and the sense of achievement is a pleasure. Luxury cushions you too much. Finally, a quotation from Hilaire Belloc: "I have wandered all my life, and I have also travelled; the difference between the two being this, that we wander for distraction, but we travel for fulfillment". Which is it for you? In these days of Richard Dawkins and the like, I'm not sure it's PC to say it, but anyway Godspeed, and have great time. Love Uncle Pete
