A Monument to Love

Back in the UK on 22nd August for Momentum and Edinburgh soon after.

See you soon!

Coming at you from Chennai

Just had my first Indian train experience and arrived in Chennai at around 6am local time. I’m pretty tired so I trust you’ll excuse any glaring errors.

Since my last post I’ve been to Nepal for a long weekend in Kathmandu, returned to Delhi for a day, made my way south to Hyderabad to stay at the OM Base and now I’m in the midst of my journey south through Tamil Nadu to Madurai.

Kathmandu was great fun hanging out with David, Niel his trusty Honda Splendour and a few of his friends from various parts of the world. We took in some of the sites in Kathmandu valley ranging from a monkey ridden Buddhist Temple to the hustle and bustle of Kathmandu’s tourist district. One of the more unusual experiences was watching the new Harry Potter movie in a cinema which kept losing power. Every so often the sound would warble, the screen would go black and eventually the generator would kick in to save the day. Modern multiplex it was not!

Delhi was just a stopover to wait for a plane to Hyderabad. Got a book or two and hung out in a coffee shop with a Danish guy I met at breakfast.

After arriving in Hyderabad I took a 2 hour taxi to get to OM’s Base which is its national headquarters for India. Binu, the man and the legend, sorted me out with some accomodation and a quick orientation. The next morning I joined up with a team of American’s from Nebraska to visit one of the schools nearby. It was incredible. Over 550 pupils were receiving an education which they would otherwise not be able to afford - perhaps more on this later.

Saturday consisted of a trip around Hyderabad city with some Indians who had been working on a new school. Cure awkward moments at the start of the day which were eventually broken down through the medium of photography. Golconda Fort and the Charminar were on the itinerary.

The next few days were chilled until it was time to leave for the train. It’s strange getting a train in India when there are no other westerners around as it feels like the entire station is watching you, probably because they are. When it came I found my bunk and holed up for the duration of the trip, guarding my possessions like a man possessed. Sleep came eventually, trains over here are noisey don’t you know.

Finished Obama’s “The Audacity of Hope” on the train last night - absolute stormer of a book, really enjoyed it.

There we have it, a quick update. This week I will mostly be in the hospitals checking out the wireless system so I may have time free in the evenings to write something a little more in depth about what I’ve seen so far. Could be terribley boring.

Namaste for now!

A Resurrection in Delhi

So I’m in a small internet cafe in Delhi, India.

The likelihood of this blog ever taking off properly again gets smaller everyday. Who knows, if you all keep asking I might reinvent it. For now I’ve resurrected it as it’s a handy way to keep you in touch with what’s going on.

I started in London, had a brief stopover in Oman and finally landed in Delhi. The city is incredibly busy and the first time you venture out of the airport you simply get assaulted by a barrage of horns, vehicles, people, heat and humidity. Any rumors you may have heard about traffic in India are true as there are seemingly no rules as to how to navigate the roads. You get used to it though as somehow I haven’t seen a single crash yet. I haven’t decided if this makes them good drivers or not…

So far I haven’t seen much of Delhi itself but today I wandered around the National Museum of India, which is actually pretty rubbish, and then got my Tuk Tuk driver to take me to the India Gate and the Parliament. None other than Hilldog was in Delhi this week for some diplomatic banter with the Indian Prime Minister. I like to think she followed me over here.

On Friday I’m catching a flight to Kathmandu to hang out in Nepal with my Northern Irish doppelganger, David. After a long weekend of clean air with the Himalayas as the backdrop I’ll be returning to India to make my way to Madurai in Tamil Nadu. I will be doing some research for my Masters project at the Aravind Eye Hospital. Aravind uses long range wireless as part of its effort to cure unnecessary blindness and I will be looking at how they use the wireless technology.

That’s all for now, I’m off to try and find some food in the hustle and bustle of Pahar Ganj.

An Outrageous Plug

If you are in the Edinburgh area you will find this particular post of interest.

The company I’m working for recently launched a firm called Expediens which is a lifestyle management service. Expediens will do anything for you to reclaim the time which you spend on errands, bookings, household tasks and to do lists.

What’s even better is that membership is now free.

Everyone has tasks they wish they didn’t have to do or would rather spend that time doing something else. If you are in the Edinburgh area head over to the Expediens website and sign up! It’s free to do so, there is no monthly contract and you can book as much or as little as you want.

A (not so brief) Interlude

Apologies for the impromptu abense of posts - this definitely wasn’t meant to happen!

To fill you in I have plans to relaunch this blog in the next few weeks. It will have a much clearer sets of goals and hopefully the material will be much more applicable to the blog’s title. I have been writing so there is material to be posted.

So until then thank you so much for following the blog. It has been a real learning experience and it is one I hope to continue very soon.

Guy Stuff - The Response

After a whirlwind of comments and an unprecedented number of hits it appears that the topic of “Guy Stuff” has struck a chord with my readership! It has been interesting discussing this issue further with people. More and more I feel that this is an issue which needs to be addressed and the flurry of activity following Sunday’s post clarified that thought.

What has been most interesting is the number of women posing questions on the topic. Far be it from me to try and diagnose the reasons behind that, it could simply be more girls read my blog, but I can safely say that isn’t the case. (As much as my ego would like to believe it)

Where do I go from here?

The end of term is rapidly approaching which means I will be home visiting family for the Christmas period. I plan to use this downtime to write, hopefully, the bones of the various posts around this topic and start to publish them within a week or so. They will be staggered with, what I hope to be, at least a modicome of consistancy.

So keep your eyes peeled, feel free to continue in the comments section and be sure to let me know your thoughts.

Guy Stuff – The Series

It is often brought to my attention that I have, for some reason, named this blog “average christian guy”. Once this has been decided upon as a topic of conversation questions arise such as, “what exactly is an average christian guy?” and “what exactly makes you average?”

All very valid queries.

I am however going to disappoint by not answering these questions, there would be no enigma otherwise, but rather write about “guy stuff” – more specifically stuff that relates to Christian guys. The “average christian guy” hasn’t written a great deal on issues relating to the average christian guy.

I’ve had a number of conversations with close friends recently about the lack of guys in church. By that I don’t mean the lack of numbers but rather the lack of initiative, involvement and inspiration these guys have to serve in church. There are issues guys need to deal with, I doubt my writing will solve the problems, but by at least talking about them we can start the process.

This will be a series of sorts, not overly planned and probably quite sporadic.

Here is where you come in.

I have a few topics on my mind I will write about but I want to know what you want to read. Simply leave a comment, it can be anonymous if you wish, and suggest a topic. Part of me wonders “what the heck am I doing?” by straying into this territory but, hey, let’s see what happens…

Guys – What issues are you dealing with? What is holding you back from living out your God given potential?

Girls – What is it about Christian guys that bugs you? What issues do you think are holding them back?
