Howdy all welcome to the next installment in my 'Faces of' series. This time I shift a country to the east and look at people I've met in India. These photographs take in three trips to India going as far back as 1999. Despite all the hassles and scams, the real people of India are …
How quickly would it take on my second visit to India to be in strife again? Well, as it turned out, not long! The flight from London was, to say the least, ‘bouncy’. I’d taken dozens of flights in 1999, but somehow I must have missed any sort of decent turbulence. Not so in 2000-01, …
Ahhh I had had a wonderful time in Agra, seeing the Taj Mahal, making friends and catching my first ever Bollywood film, and the ups and downs of my first visit to India seemed like they were ending on the up part. I had to get back to Delhi where I would spend a couple …
My first week and a bit in India in 1999, my first time in India, had all been a very whirlwind experience. From the craziness of Delhi, up north to the surreal Chandrigargh and then Jalandhar. I had spent a few days in the last of these living with a very protective local family, and …

Hmmmm, at what point in this post will I mention just how much I dislike Delhi? DAMN already given the game away. But the fact is, Delhi and I have a hate-hate relationship. It hates me and I hate it. Although to be fair, I never did anything to Delhi. In return it has made …
Okay – I could have called this one a ‘Sunday Spotlight’, but I liked the ring of ‘Perfect Palolem’. I am writing about a little beach and village in India that I visited in 2001, so it’s been quite a while, but I suspect that the place, though different I’m sure, is still pretty special. …
When I was in India on my second solo trip, in January 2001, I visited Mumbai and Goa. After find India more than tough going in 1999 and swearing never to return, I was actually back on my very next trip! I know today that there is no place I could say I’ll never go …
Through the night my first overnight, long bus journey in India. Sleep did not come… pretty much at all. Just before dawn, whilst it was still mostly dark, I arrived in Delhi at a bus park where I was to change buses to go to Jaipur. I found the second bus, and the …

India for the first time. Where do I start? For any intrepid world explorer, or simple backpacker such as myself, India is the essential place to visit. At least once, if not several times considering just how big the country is and how much there is to see there. But for me in 1999, it …
