There’s nothing like the iPhone to remind you th There’s nothing like the iPhone to remind you that you’re ageing by callously throwing up old photos. This was five years ago.
I’ve been reading Paul Theroux’s The Great Rai I’ve been reading Paul Theroux’s The Great Railway bazaar recently and I must confess I’m filled with loathing for the man. 
Theroux tries to experience india from the confines of a train compartment and with the added filter of his crude racism he makes at a horrifyingly distasteful commentary on India (and It’s surprising that a man of his erudition should have been so myopic and lazy in his understanding of a country as complex as ours. 
Throughout the book he refers to Indians as black, very black, shiny black with thick lips, poor, hungry, spitting, pissing…piled up on footpaths like dead bodies. He doesn’t for once bring up the fact that colonialism might have something to do with the vast destitution of the country. The educated, polite and helpful Indians he meets on the various trains of India too aren’t spared his mockery and contempt.
Compare that with AA Gill’s description and understanding of India in the passages I’ve posted and you’ll understand what it means to travel without preconceived notions and an open mind.
