SALAAM/THALAIVA


in India, you're taught 
that there are certain qualities 
that make you a divine human being

FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH
the story behind salaam/thalaiva
I lived up in the Punjab in 2008 for a few months
not sure why but I fell in love with India
from the onset
it wasn't the warm air, that masala hint
mass confusion - a magic

an innocence if you will
a rare transparency that is endearing
their 'business' is ruthless
but their humanity
is mint
I remember once having a few days off
going to a hole in the wall cinema
it was dirty and people dressed in rags
watching bollywood

 90 min movie - 60 was dancing/singing
Ya, so SALAAM/THALAIVA 
it's a late Aug thing

This is what it feels like there, Mohali 
in late November - celebrating the Diwali

this is a preview of 
Diwali 22 (coming 10.22)

DIWALI 22



I'll take that mango lassi
to go

perhaps a closer look
at a yearly commemorative
of India's annual 'festival of lights'
kind of like our Halloween & Christmas
rolled into one - only way cooler

I was there Oct-Dec 2008 - Mohali Punjab
our approaching winter is their
mid summer; warm, fragrant
magic 

it was 14 years ago tonight
tis the eve of











remembered in pictures

waking up (very) late my first day there 
shower then downstairs to the restaurant
serious jet-lag 

firecrackers, lanterns & music in the streets
sitting while he pours me a coffee
"getting dark so early here"
(sun low, so warm)

dream like

massive front windows
looking out

asking my waiter
'what's going on'?
(surreal - soaking it in)

"It's the Diwali sir"
stepping outside - BAM
other worldly
kids running around with sparklers  
dogs - colours
smells like curry everywhere

welcome to India


this is Diwali 22

a once in a lifetime
kind of thing remembered

feels like late summer here
warm, fragrant
getting dark at 5pm wow
balmy breeze, lovely

I love Bollywood
and I love the Diwali

smoke, orange lanterns, contained fires
musky fragrances, stray dogs, gifts & costumes
fireworks

3 days to get here
and 3 months to go
I think so

STAGE ONE



not my problem

most men already know everything


for every man who wants to move forward and learn more

there’s another who likes it just the way it is …

and even despises the one on the other side


this may ... just may be the reason

any real progress is taking so long

GLORIA 22: the short story

I can't even begin to describe what this last year has been like 
2022 was wow - what a shake & stir - that said
I've landed in a better place - that's a good thing

somewhat obsessed w/drones atm
where were we - ok

I'm optimistic
missing my friends & family
dedicated to you - for taking the time
to look & listen
