i'm trying to write more. And it's easy when there are...

Camels! Awkwardly graceful, gliding by with unexpected dignity.

They are surprisingly beautiful, and i am going to ride one into the desert.

That's not a figure of speech. I really will.

Last night I caught myself in a steamy room in a cheap hotel in Delhi, eating orange tic tacs for dinner.

Is that not the start of a seedy detective story? I realized that my life was the start of a bad novel, so this morning I caught the 6am to Rajasthan.

Now I am in Pushkar, alcohol-free pilgrimage town. I'm on my way to an ayurvedic massage class, just because.
