..."after 100 years of India..."



...and i walk away, thinking of another place. of seemingly endless summers and the shades of different kinds of trees. and then of winter when the branches of the trees are bare. so bare that recalling them now it seems inconceivable that i looked at them and did not think of the summer gone. and the winters to come. as illusions. as dreams never fulfilled. never to be fulfilled...

Not quite sure if India actually is the jewel anymore. On last inspection it seemed to be filled with way too many branches of pizza hut and KFC. Ho hum. Concerned about this whole fasting thing though- are you going for the title of mahatma flavs????

Raj Quartet in marathon mahatma maremma session. Yah. Washed down with gin-slings and bombay mix. I'll see you and raise you one.
