2011- A MILESTONE YEAR – A PERSONAL REVIEW

Overland in India ― Ah, here we are at year end and a good time to look back on the year before moving ahead into the New Year. For me personally, it was one of those milestone years that don’t happen every year like this one. I quit my technology sales job I had ...

RETURN FROM INDIA- THREE MONTHS LATER

Overland in India ― I realized the other day that I have now been back home for a longer period of time than the actual amount of time I spent in India and Nepal from June to August. This kind of surprised me for I can’t really account for a whole lot during this ...

LAST PARAGRAPH IN THE KASHMIR CHAPTER IN MY UPCOMING MEMOIR OF INDIA & NEPAL

Overland in India ― When I went back to the Srinagar airport and the tightest security checks I’ve ever been a part of, I had to linger outside the terminal before being allowed in for my gate to board the plane to Mumbai. An airport policeman approached me and asked ...

DIPLOMACY IN KATHMANDU

Overland in India ― In my quest to shake my horrible sinus infection, I still had to eat.  The one thing that hadn’t deminished was my apetitite and God forbid I’d miss a meal in restaurant rich Kathmandu. So, I did go out for the odd meal out here and...

LED ZEPPELIN NIGHT IN KATHMANDU

Overland in India ― To say things have changed in Kathmandu since my last visit is the understatement of my entire trip. Of course I expected things to have changed since 1986. What is the same anywhere? But such a complete growth expansion makeover? OMG! I knew...

THE BACK HOME PEOPLE

Overland in India ― When I was invited to speak at Central University of Jharkhand (south India), I had no idea I was about to discover a very unusal group of people and was also able to find again my Kashmiri nirvana state. I was picked up at nine for about an hour ...

MEET THE BEATLES ASHRAM

Overland in India ― It seems that wherever one travels around India, everywhere is holy. Yet some places are holier than others. Rishikesh is one. The town is situated on the holy Ganga, the Ganges River.  Down river is Varanasi, the holiest city of them all. Up ...

RESTORED/UNRESTORED

Overland in India ― The experience at the ashram, the bus ride, the monsoon, left me drained and depleted and soggy. I’d been traveling for five weeks. Certainly not a long time by long term travelers, but long enough in that a badly needed respite was well, badly...

REDISCOVERY IN OLD MANALI

Overland in India ― Arriving in Old Manali felt like coming home. When I traveled in 1985 and 1986 throughout India, Nepal, Tibet and China, I fell into a certain comfort of, well, not having to go to work every day and having a lot of fun. Traveling is not always ...

ALTERED TASTES

Overland in India ― The last time I had fried chicken was almost five years ago after a night of debauchery and ultra-violence. I always wanted to say that ever since “A Clockwork Orange” became an instant classic. For the record, it wasn’t really debauchery and...

OVERLAND AROUND THE WORLD

Overland in India ― The cyber global community is just that…a community not unlike a small town’s town square. Just that we are all scattered out there and all over. This Overland blog has been up since last September and the Overland website a month before that. ...
