While visiting my friend in Ahmedabad, I visited the Gandhi Ashram, also known as Sabarmati Ashram. Gandhi lived here for 12 years. It was from here that he undertook the salt march, a 241-mile, 24 day march to the sea to protest the British tax on Indian salt. Gandhi and his followers were beaten mercilessly [...]

I Quit

No, I haven’t quit being a Happy Nomad, nor writing for this site. It’s a bit of a play on words since the verb “to quit” is the same in present and past tense. In this case, I refer to the past. When I went home to surprise my mom for Christmas I opened a [...]

The Appetizers - A Work Of Art

12-12-12 will always be a day I remember. In the year 2000 I was a freshman at Ohio State University. I had three roommates, but the only one I really got along with was Karan. He was from India, from Ahmedabad. I’ll never forget how he said it because it wasn’t until he actually showed [...]

Hitting Bottom In An Indian Train’s Bathroom – And Still Finding Happiness

March 18, 2013

The Train's Bathroom

It’s inevitable. Most people I talked to said upon entering India you’d have to spend a week on your back (when not in the bathroom) fighting evil microbes you never knew existed. In my case, I was in Nepal/India for six weeks before these microbes struck, and strike they did! After the amazing experience at [...]

My Crazy Hair First Thing In The Morning

I recently took the picture below after waking up one morning. I found my crazy hair funny and I knew my parents would laugh at it. I didn’t recognize myself in the mirror and it got me thinking… It made me think of one’s relationship with one’s self. Too often it’s unhealthy – love/hate at [...]
