nearly free

only 2 more days of this week, hopefully none of next week, and monday to wednesday the week after and i'm free. from work at least, i will have to wait until january for the real freedom.

gandhi's autobiography came today to keep me occupied when i'm not planning a route and finding places to stay - i'm a bit bored of wikitravel and lonely planet. i realised a week or so ago that i know nothing of gandhi, and i feel i really should if i want to understand anything about the way the india of today is the way it is. the mahabharata was interesting, but it is so far removed from reality to me at the moment it was quite difficult to find any meaning in it. luckily it's pretty thin (it's a heavily abridged version, the original runs to 9000 odd verses) so i'll take it with me and see how it takes after i've been in india awhile.

jabs again on monday

You need to spruce the blog up a bit. How about some lovely mandalas as a backdrop, or pictures of elephants?
