The second was that I couldn’t get through to the tattoo shop where I had booked a touch up appointment for the work I had done on Valentine’s Day. No answering machine. Just a request to call again at some other time. I didn’t call again for about six months. I still haven’t had that tattoo fixed. Things like that seem so insignificant now.

Bhutan is Not My Hometown
First, let me put it out front that I'm not from Bhutan. I'm from India. Though I love my country very much, I had a strong urge to document my experiences with Bhutan for the hometown feature.

Vanishing Point Chicago
Yearning for Chicago I am torn, at home in two places. I wrote these lines after completing a pastel drawing of a sunset.

In short, I missed out on going to Venetian Night in 1999 because I was too chicken to take the train and go alone. Living in rural Crete, my real home was in Chicago; I longed for the adventure of city life.

The Two Sides of Vancouver's Gilded Coin.

The city was crystalline during the winter Olympics of 2010, with bluebird skies, shimmering water, frosted alpine slopes, and bright smiles from all those who attended.
