All you need is love!

January 28, 2010

I’m finding the saying “All you need is love” pretty spot on. Everything in my life right now seems to be going in every other direction then I planned other then my love life. India is proving to be one interesting place to live and “try” to start a business. I will save you all from the negativity and just say that things here in India can be challenging. But like they say “what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.”

I love the fact that when you’re in love… nothing else really matters. All those little things that make your life difficult all seem so small and pointless in the bigger picture called “life”. The fact that just thinking of someone can bring a smile to your face and tingles to your toes is proof that the human bond is what life is all about.

So other then having tons of love love love crazy love in my life, I am dealing with the normal stuff… monkeys, crows and sidecars that ride like bucking broncos that like to break your ankles!

The Sidecar Rally is taking shape… slowly but surly. I feel that the watches here in India have extra gears in them to make things seem to take years to get anything done! I am hoping to have the first race March 28th leaving from Goa with who knows how many people… it might just be me and my pet dog Loveheart.

I have finally sorted out my house. I have a maid/cook/comic that comes everyday to bring me grief and laughter. She likes to drive me crazy always asking what she can do and talks and talks but in a language I don’t understand. She sort of babbles on and on and I just say, “yes yes”. She has planted me a garden with something in it, im not sure what it is… but it’s growing. She’s also teaching me to cook, which is kind of rough since I can’t really understand much of what she says. But that said it’s nice having her around, we make a good team. I even help her fish a dead crow out of my well.

The monkeys and crows are getting bolder and are moving in closer and closer each day. The other day I woke up to a monkey sitting on my motorcycle. The crows better watch out because in a few days I going to head into town and get some sort of gun, most likely only an air rifle… but I’ll take something bigger if they’ll give it to me.

I’m used to writing about traveling and taking photos, but right now I’m not doing either. I picked up my camera yesterday for the first time in a while. I will be heading to northern India next week for business so I might bring it to document the trip.

Here are some photos of the two things that are on my mind the most…love&sidecars!
