The Wisdom Tooth Extraction

The Wisdom Tooth Extraction
I guess like most guys if we ever find a problem with our body we have a remarkable superhuman ability to put it to the back of our mind and lose it amongst all the anniversary dates and birthdays – we know technically these things should happen but they never make it far enough up to our conscious that it registers as something to think about or to act upon. And so it has been about many things...

I’ve Seen The Future. And It’s Green.

I’ve Seen The Future. And It’s Green.
About two years (and a whole lifetime) ago I had my palm read by a fortune teller. You can read the outcome of that over on the Can You Read My Mind post. And now, nearly two years to the day later, I had my fortune told again, but not by a palm reader, this time it was a little green parakeet (or parrot if you want the Indian word for it). Seriously, a little bird that’s kept in a tiny cage...

The Two Indias and Generalizations

The Two Indias and Generalizations
I’ve been accused on more than a few occasions (well, OK, on every blog post I make that mentions India) of over generalizing (yes, weirdly, my English has be Americanized since being in India and I now spell stuff with zee’s insteaded of esses) with my sweeping statements about the country, population and culture. To some extent this is very true, but if I noted the exceptions to my generalizations...

Christmas and New Year in India

Christmas and New Year in India
Wow, OK, I feel like I haven’t updated this blog in a while so let’s start off the new year by talking about last year. Backwards I know. Christmas was the first time I’d spent it away from my family. Every year since the age of 18 I’d come back to my parents hometown for the Christmas and New Year period, but after spending two months back in England I was itching to get back...

New Camera Photos

New Camera Photos
This is just a bit of a boring post to show some pictures taken with my new Sony camera. It was £142 and I bought it from eBuyer (although they seem to have put the price up since I bought it). The camera is the Sony DSC-W270 and it has a 5x optical zoom, 3200 ISO and an optical anti-blur, which is extremely important for my shaky hands. 1. The Kitchen 2. The kitchen while trying out the anti-blur! 3....

Let’s Try Not To Break This One

Let’s Try Not To Break This One
I’ve gained a rather unfortunate reputation amongst friends and family for being a little careless with small electrical items. It’s not entirely unwarranted since I have managed to put two phones in the washing machine (and proving that Nokia’s are infact the best phones money can buy, the N73 survived and still worked) and managed to drop a very expensive camera (although in my...

Blisters and Hangovers

Blisters and Hangovers
I’ve just spent several days in the capital of Scotland. I went once before a few years back when I released loads of balloons from Edinburgh castle for Standard Life when they floated on the stock exchange, but never got the chance to look around. I flew up with EasyJet, who in fairness, are better than BMIBaby when it comes to stupid hidden costs. I went up on a Thursday and came back on the...

A New Website, A New Address

A New Website, A New Address
Things are going on behind the scenes in my life and after spending a few weeks agonizing over which direction I want to go in, I’ve finally taken the decision to move my personal blog to a new domain (err, which is this one) and do my business stuff from my old domain. For those of you who are confused, you can quite easily remember the two different domains. Just type my name (that would be...

No Kissing Please… We’re British!

No Kissing Please… We’re British!
I love being an expat, I love working in a different country, and most importantly I love being in a place where you don’t have to wonder what the weather will be like – it’s always shorts and t-shirt weather. It’s always lovely and hot. Give me blazing sun over winter blues anyday. I’d say 95% of the time I love being in India. The other 5% of the time I’m trying...
