rhythmaningI have scanned photographs I took on my first visit to India in November and December, 1991, and I am posting them together with letters I wrote subsequently about the trip. I don’t seem to have written to anyone about the last part of the trip – or I didn’t keep a copy of the letter – so I have written a short piece, based on my memories.
For most of the trip I was travelling once more with G. – it was his idea to go to India, where he had been before. I wasn’t especially keen, but I had holiday I had to use up before the end of the year, I had a fair bit of money and it sound like it could be interesting.
I was immediately converted to India: I found it a fascinating, confusing and sometimes deeply irritating place. I have been back twice since, and I want to go again sometime.
