I'm cold, tired and hungry. Not the vacation I thought this trip would be. Still, things could be worse. I COULD be covering stupid indi-rap concerts.

Man, Rajasthan is a f**king trippy place. And the villagers here lead a damn difficult life, especially the women. Trekking miles and miles just to get drinking water is something I could never ever do. And the child marriage ceremony was just bizarre. All in all, a rewarding experience so far. Maybe it had to do with the lack of creature comforts.

PS: Drinking liquid opium flowing from another man's hand isn't all that bad.

    Villagers thought I was a Korean or a Jap, so they kindly offered their favourite welcoming drink.

    Hehe, did not notice that.

    Looks like our man's been watching "Pimp my ride" way too often.
