A bit of fun last night at 3am. A snake in the bedroom aircon. Seems to be a brown tree snake (Boiga irregularus). 🐍

The other night I dreamt I was visiting David Lynch. He showed me around his sprawling house. Some rooms were unfinished. I told him about a book I was writing and he was supportive and offered to help in any way he could. It was one of those dreams that one doesn’t forget. Cont… #dream

Some years ago my good friend @thewilliamgeorge.bsky.social lent me his Mamiya C220 camera. Here are a few photos I took with it. The goat and tree are at James Cook University in #Townsville. The water is the dam near Paluma, in North Queensland. #JCU #goat #nqfilm The film is #acros, dev’d #xtol.

For a good 30 minutes after getting up this morning I was labouring under the misapprehension that it was Saturday. Then came the crushing realisation it is only Friday and I gotta go to work.

For quite a while now I’ve felt my life is in a holding pattern. I measure time in days, each marked by the pills I must take for multiple health problems. I’m waiting to have some back surgery. To pass the time I am translating the RigVeda. 10,000 verses. I calculate I’ll be 93 when I finish.

Eight years ago today my friend Dhruba Ghosh left this world. He was a great musician & beautiful human. I remember most his music & silly jokes.
I took these photos in 1999 when he & I travelled from Mumbai to Sholapur, where he was giving a concert.

Vote harder! I like that. I come from a country with compulsory voting. Wouldn’t have it any other way.
Again, there is no form of opposition this guy likes aside from voting every couple of years. Faced with fascism? Just vote harder.
