About Me:
I used to say I didn't like traveling; too much uncertainty, trouble and inconvenience...Then a few years ago I saw my first Bollywood movie and, MAN, something DEEP stirred within me. I had to find out more about this country that could produce such a joyous romp of a film. A couple years later I chucked everything and went to India for 8 months on my own. It was magical and fabulous.
I'm a bit of a serial obsessionist but this is one fascination that doesn't seem to be fading. I just can't get enough India and I'm back to seek my fortune in Bombay.
