The foreigners look like bozos. Hmph. I suppose they're not considered "foreigners" here...they just comprise the strange, tattooed-and-bearded, phone-flashing bars that surround me. Why me?

"Faith drives religious belief, not logic, and this is a global phenomenon. Once, I argued about this, but don’t bother anymore. To each their own, I say. You have your belief; I have mine."

Same here, same here.

"The ban is ridiculous: if Americans want to control narcotic consumption in America, they must focus on America, not on the globe. This behavior is symptomatic of the tensions American politicians create across the world. They believe the rest of the world must follow their lead on everything, and this attitude is stupid."

I was nodding away most vigorously with you, dear friend. HMPH.

"We stopped halfway for a chai break. The hotel had an excellent garden. A bus unloaded its cargo of tourists who pottered around, mumbling inanities about mystical India while I shot some photos of a few butterflies, whom I named ‘The Family Sam.’"

Could not stop smiling. The high note for me. Love finding immense beauty in seemingly mundane moments.

Wonderful post. Always an immense thrill to visit different places through your words and your lens, Rajiv.

Cheers.
