Motorcycles and I don’t have the best history together. The last time I rode one, the road decided to turn – and I didn’t turn with it. AA, on the other-hand, has been riding since he was a teenager. Recently, he decided that the streets of Manhattan didn’t look so bad compared to Delhi, and […]

The Wenchuan Earthquake was a colossal event that changed the lives of so many people in China’s Sichuan Province. These are my thoughts and recollections of the event on that day and the weeks that followed. The date is forever etched in my memory. May the 12th, 2008, it was a normal Monday as I […]

I was working at a beach bar in Sihanoukville, Cambodia when I met Senda, a Spanish guy on a week-long visa run from Bangkok, Thailand. I was intrigued by the fact that he taught there and asked how he’d found a job. “It’s so easy bro, and because you’re English you’ll get a job easily,” […]

In mid-April 2017, I arrived back in Kampot, Southern Cambodia. I’d worked in Kampot at the beginning of that January for a backpacker hostel chain called Mad Monkeys, where my job involved working at the bar, organising and leading a variety of tours, and generally playing host. After five weeks, I was sent to work […]

As I was growing up in the 80’s, the Middle East was witnessing an oil boom. Many people from the Indian sub-continent wanted to go over there and enjoy the tax-free income. Somewhere I too harbored that desire, and in the mid 2000’s I finally got an opportunity to work in a beautiful country called […]
