yeah - i got sunburnt in ooty.. such an uncharming place - but i spent four glorious days in a small school there - and what a charming school.. and i actually liked kids for the first time in my life... and the flowers and the dragonflies and the train - oh the train ride is amazing - 13 bucks return ticket from ooty to coonoor on a world heritage railway through the most amazing wooded sites and tea plantations and fragrant woods... gets your head buzzing...
and then on to bangalore - lesser nostalgia, more alcohol and i picked a fight with a stranger - what fun!!
what was lesser fun was falling for on of my dearest friends and realising its not going to happen. how do i manage to get hurt by the sweetest of guys - either i turn them into rascals or figure out some edge to cut myself with..
sigh!
so am off to a vipassana course - ten days of meditative silence with no other contact with the world. and no books either.
freak!

Yes- Bunker Roy, Barefoot College, Tilonia. Though I didn't meet him and so my information is second-hand. A very bad thing for information to be. :)
Since you seem to have spent time there I'll take your version as gospel.
And good luck for the Vipassana course. Can't imagine living like that for ten days. Maybe reason enough to go there...?
Cheers...
I went to ooty many years back, hardly remember it now. you sound like you had fun, inspite of calling it "such an uncharming place"!
So, you're not a south indian, keep travelling all over the country and like poetry. Interesting.
How did you pick a fight with a stranger? And what happened with your friend?
And now that you are out of Kerela, get busy blogging. Why the vipassana course? You like it there or is it because of the friend...?
All the best with your nose.

sorry intrigued anon, can't answer so many questions to a total stranger, and kind of impolite of you not to have a blog for me to peep into... c'mon get a blog - lose the life!!
