Indescribable, Insurmountable, Inconceivable, Inscrutable, Ineffable!
India. What can I say? It is simply More: more people, more colors, more noise, more music, more smiles, more filth, more faith, more EVERYTHING. And for me, grieving as I was the loss of part of myself gone for good, it was at once disorienting and dazzling, daunting and darling, disgusting and divine. I hope I have distilled that essence here.
So get a warm cup of chai, sit back, and take a passage to India.
Namaste.

It was very hard to get this published online back then - nothing but technical difficulties. To the online guru who solved my problems - may you reach Nirvana on your first try!)
