I have been told to blog more often. With all the extensive travels I did this past year I should have blogged throughout but sometimes not documenting the details of events leaves an after taste that wouldn't exis if it's details were captured. I sometimes I felt I that I was either not documenting enough or too much. Perhaps this is a common issue for amatuer writers. This year in recap has been one of the most adventerious years of my life. Adventure never seems to leave me and neither do I want it to part. But this last year especially has been extremely eventful and worth writing about.

I started reveling around this time last year. I headed out to Bombay which is where I was born. I've always loved bombay, it's history the contradicting property, colonial history, alternative fashion and historic parks, mosques, churches and temples all in one area. One of my favorite places in Bombay is haji ali, an Islamic shrine in honor of a dervish who spent his life in Devine love and preaching Devine love. His shrine sits in the the middle of the Arabian sea. The mile long walk with no side railings in the middle of the ocean to get to to the shrine is what attracts me most about haji ali. I have seen people from all walks of life on that one mile walk. Vendors selling food, flowers to offer, offing scarfs (an Islamic tradition), ad even change to distribute among the poor. I paid 5 rupees for loose change of 50 rupees so that I could distribute them amongst the homeless.

Bombay travels included Leopold's, taj, causeway bay, and a lot of other eateries and clubs that will always be remembered. Leopold's soon became one of my comfort places to grab a bite and drink plenty of kingfisher. Kingfisher is a very delicious beer local to india...
