India Reaches Out

It's a long way from Mullumbimby to Mumbai - most of a lifetime and more than 10 000 km, give or take a few detours.

As I contemplate the world's largest democracy I wonder how I've missed out on the Indian experience for so long. It's not just that my waking hours are full of travel preparations (although they are). It's more that my dreams are filled with India in busy, blaring, Bollywood technicolour.

I wake with an urgency that has me recording ideas in a notebook at 2am.

This blog is the story of how a story has begun.

Already India reaches out.

Join me as I grab hold of her fingers and explore the highs and hangnails of travel, inspiration and writing.
