His vocal display is a wonder.. this man is 68! But he still has a full, throaty voice, a thick red wine, which hits the high notes in a blistering blast as he dances like a man of even half his age, a nimble Pied Piper, or Pan…

It’s hot, crowded, dirty, corrupt. You’re likely to be ripped off, robbed and mis-directed. You may spend hours waiting for a train that never comes, or go to a guest house to find it hasn’t been built yet. So why on Earth would anyone choose to spend their precious free-time and hard-earned cash going to [...]

In our society there is some confusion over the distinction between being alone and feeling alone. The causative element leading to depression is the sense of isolation, which can affect the sufferer even when he or she is in a crowded room.

..bitten by DESPAIR and SLOTH, i fell wounded, venom coursing though my blood… whilst Mukunda and Moonglow wrestled best they could with ENVY’s evil head….it was Bumble though, who saved me, as in the instant he saw me fall, ANGER had reared his mighty head, the killing blow deliverance…had he not been STUNG by bee….

At last, the waiting is over, he steps on stage, ACID DRENCHED AND SILVER SKINNED, a comic book hero, biker king, a self-styled messiah, stretching, preacher thin, hidden eyes surveying the “mosh pit” below with a threatening stare, a wolf amongst the sheep….

It is my impression that making a career out of the intricacies of the law has less to do with wisdom and compassion and more to do with having a somewhat legalistic mindset. And it is my impression that to work in litigation in particular you have to be up for something of a scrap as well. Because litigation, when you look at it, is a form of Robot Wars for pedants.

Some disturbing facts have emerged following a recent study. Research suggests that complacency within a relationship can start to set in after as little as seven months. At which time couples start revealing the bad habits that have until then remained hidden. This “seven month slouch” is the point when couples are most likely to think it acceptable to let themselves go. Men, it seems are more readily willing to relax their standards.

Mukunda, swami form sniffed clean, clear air, and Humble Bumble buzzed….like excited buzy morning bees will buzz….and, after buzzing each “hello” he was off…..and ZZZZZzzzzz… a blur into the morning sun….Mukunda yawned, and began to make a breakfast, unlevened japati …bread, fruit and leftovers from the caravan….

I think neo-Tantra is an example of how the west has often misunderstood India and its traditions: we see an act that holds a certain place in our culture and infer the same must be true of its place in Indian culture. We take aspects of it to improve that act in our culture and in doing so lose many of the intentions of the act. Yoga, meditation, astrology, ayurvedic medicine and Tantra have all been imported to Britain, but often in pared-down forms, where you have the act and the body of the ritual but none of the meaning.

He will also add some itty blue lights so if the schoolgirls can only hear him in the winter they will see the itty blue light streaks past the school in a blur of testosterone. A £1000 radio system with the treble removed so the windscreen ‘bass bulges’ and the wipers rattle further adds to the image as the sound barrier is ripped to pieces in the 20mph zone on the road outside
