A trip in Sundarban

But let me tell you a little more about my trip in the heart of the Bengali furnace... Sundarbans, West Bengal - May 2013 Apart from the overwhelming heat and the near-absence of wild animals (we just saw some deers, lizards, monkeys, snakes and birds), we could appreciate the Indian countryside, one of my old dreams! ...

The dirty Frenchies exploring Sundarban…

Here is an interesting angle to tell about my trip to Sundarban... Departure from Kolkata at 8:30 in the morning for a 3 hour ride in a van falling into pieces. Thighs glued by the sweat to the fake leather seat. No need to complain; better to just try and avoid fainting by swallowing gallons of water. We arrive at the pier to embark on a motor boat that a guy...

Getting ready for the mangrove!

It comes this time of the year again where the need of nature and disconnection becomes a urge… Though I have travelled a lot in India there are still many places to discover, luckily! My criteria are usually: a remote area, a comfortable place to stay, wilderness, no phone network, option to exercise. So when I read this: “The largest mangrove forest in the world...

Where I will demonstrate that the human being is not (inherently) good...

I did a test and asked foreigners who have stayed in India their reaction when they cross this kind of disabled people in the streets of Mumbai (I did say the streets, not the sidewalks (because there is none)). The first reaction: "Oh my God the poor man! How is it possible? It's too horrible! » The second reaction: “But can’t he circulate somewhere else?? I can’t...

About casts and inequalities in India - The big picture

The system of the castes in India dates back thousands of years. Hyper complicated but also quite simple in substance. There are 4 varnas or “families” of castes (the most famous being the upper caste of the “Brahmins”) and then the out-caste known as “untouchables” and today called "scheduled class”. The varnas, representing the 4 parts of the God Brahma’s body (see diagram), are...

About casts and inequalities in India - The pink sari gang

It is funny: I had just finished a book about poverty and inequalities in India, when my (foreign) colleagues started asking me tons of questions about untouchability and the moment I got back in India, I got stuck in many parades of untouchables... A parade with cars blasting music and displaying pictures of Ambedkar and Buddha (explanation in the next post) First, I’d like...

The Sexpert and his prejudice against Bhel puri vendors!

Question: I have heard that any kind of acidic substance can prevent pregnancy. Can I pour some drops of lemon or orange juice in my girlfriend’s vagina after the intercourse? Will it harm her? Answer: Are you a bhel puri vendor? Where did you get this weird idea from? There are many other safe and easy methods of birth control. You can consider using a condom. Bhel...

A story about ants, sinks, glues and electricians

We know that women are capable of doing several things at the same time... Useful but sometimes catastrophic – okay you do several things at the same time but do you do any well? To cut it short, the other morning I was brushing my teeth when I saw an ant running on the wall. It had been several days that these bitches had been teasing me... And I could have considered a peaceful...
