With a design running for over 6 years it was time for a re-write and re-design of this site. I decided to pull the whole site on WordPress, and drop the old system. The main goal was to provide a more up-to-date design and also to create an online portfolio. — read more ›
So it’s one year ago that I first put my foot down on Indian turf. In some regards it feels like ages ago, while the overall feeling is that time flew by like a supersonic plane. Yes, the extremely hot summer days and nights felt never-ending, but in retrospect the whole working thing did shorten the perceived time. So, in order for me to realise that I used my time properly, a list of statistics of things done in this one year: — read more ›
Ever since David (my flatmate) left for Europe in spring, his goal was to get himself a motorbike license, so he could get himself a Royal Enfield of his own. For one, to drive it around in Chandigarh and then as well in the hope that we’d get to drive up North to the heights of Ladakh – not comparable with what these guys did, but still quite an adventure: 350km without petrol pump, driving in a height range between 3500 and 5359 metres (Tang-lang La, the world’s second highest motorable pass) above sea level and a cold desert. It used to be a real pioneer’s track, now it’s more touristy, but still enough to push one out of one’s comfort zone. — read more ›
Long time it has been since my last blog update… last time I was travelling. The same is the case this time – same region, similar stops but this time some more time and other modes of transport.

It is beautiful, amazingly beautiful not only because it’s an unusual perspective. Our Earth IS MAGNIFICENT. And yes, from a distance all looks great and spotless, or at least many things. — read more ›
Quite a few people asked about the meditation experience and here I should give a bit more detailled description on that and then raise a few questions. — read more ›
Long long time ago, I can still remember, music used to make me smile. It still does. So do many other things, such as the phone call that I just finished. Or people with their behaviour and quirks, or animals or the weather or things. — read more ›
After the first 10 days I think I owe everybody a short recap of how things go and what’s happening here in Chandigarh, India. I shall start with pointing out that the views in my postings are my own and private ones and may or may not be shared by any of my affiliations (i.e. Opera). So, complaints to me please. — read more ›
Sorry for neglecting you all for such a long time, but you know, many things to do, write, prepare and so on and work load was high enough to make me not want to spend my spare time in front of the computer. Even if I had quite some things to write about. — read more ›
