So, I've been back from India for just over a week, and it's......weird. I think I'd started to become
used to being in India, and I loved it. I could easily have gone native (especially in Varkhala). Now I'm back in Glasgow, and instead of temples and friendly people, it's grumpy Weegies, and the temples are shopping malls where the only thing worshipped is money and possessions.
I really think downsizing and not being materialistic, would be easy if I was living somewhere like India, but here you're surrounded by advertising and incentives to buy buy buy, and like the sheep we are, that's exactly what we do.
Ah well, one lottery win, and I really an out of here (providing the win is big enough to drop out)
