Phenonmenally Dull Cinema of the Curious

Fifty Shades of Grey--critiqued in the west for being dull is apparently not so pedestrian with Asian suburbanites and urbanites, especially single women. They are eating it up and creating a buzz on (anti-)social media with their excitement and agitation. 
Even more puzzling, Fast and Furious 7 is a totally huge hit with grownups here. The whole Fast and Furious heptad is a top-selling industry with adults here and not just the targeted pre-pubescent cohort back home. 
What a totally curious phenomenon!

Take us AUM Stacie

Cheers to my wise-hearted friend Stacie D (also known as, Saraswati) for keeping faith alive and guiding the way AUM.

A YOGIC NONVIOLENCE DIET

Nepalis -- Unshakable Strength of Heart and Spirit

I'm not in Nepal right now but weeping for the people there--a 7.8 earthquake struck north-central Nepal on 25th April 2015 and tragically affected Kathmandu and beyond with widespread destruction and fearful aftershocks. Another quake measured at 6.7 hit on 26th April 2015. 
I am now numb with shocked disbelief that the inevitable actually happened--many buildings and structures of Kathmandu were leveled to ruins.  
However, if any people can overcome adversity, count on Nepalis--unshakable strength of heart and spirit. 

Potholes that are Big Enough to Land a 747

Highways and byways of India have potholes big enough to land a jumbo jet in--treacherous navigating them while riding atop two speeding wheels of my motorbike, especially with ubiquitous other obstacles, speeding and stationary. Hari Om (Hurry Home)!

Rugby Match in My Belly - Incredible India

Dysentery strikes again in !ndredibly (Unclean) !ndia. Too !ncredible! Unfortunately, not much concept of enviromental degradation by the vast majority of a vast number of people :(

My "traveler's tummy" is bad enough that it feels like a rugby match along the length of my enteric system.

If gets worse, then might have to douse system with allopathy.

And then, if survive, I will be overly committed to protecting the 'god-hole'...no more rouge, culinary adventuring  no matter how deliciously tempting the street food and drink (espcially freshly pressed sugarcane juice with fresh-pressed lime, ginger and mint).

Update: Now taking the Mercedes-Benz of antibiotics, azithromcin...

I miss home...Jupiter
