This blog has been created to keep a record of our travels and let you know of our coordinates on a regular basis. The past 8 years have been a pretty wild ride through many countries and continents and now I / we are finally trying this strange new settling down thing - which takes some getting used to. But we are giving it our best shot... bought a house and a car, so greatly in debt and gingerly stepping into the world of responsibilities and mortgage paytments. Which feels weird because earlier there was always the feeling that if things got rough one could pack up and leave- we still can, except that the bank will have a warrant out! Ok that was NOT an auspicious start... happy thoughts, happy thoughts, focus on happy thoughts! Unhappiness is such a drag-my life is so much better once I decided to follow the just do it philosophy in life - no place for regrets, no half measures - do it or trash it, is my motto. It takes a while but once you have it in your system life is brighter and shinier and prettier. I used to write poetry in college and read the Russians. Now I read non fiction and listen to rap and crunch numbers for a living - I love numbers, they are so ... umm crunchy?!!. Its all a journey towards the mirage called sanity . See that old whiny bengali self sneaks in, be squashed and begone.
