About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To found the Green Party of India

ABOUT ME

I am an idealist with his feet on the ground. I live in India now as a continuation of my fieldwork here, and run a web-company whilst helping found the Green Party of India, and with an eye to getting my Phd finished. I am fairly busy, work too hard, but have a good sense of fun. If I am out at a gig or a club I dance with great enthusiasm, and I love conversation, anything stimulating and original.

PHILOSOPHY

All things have causes, and thus we are of this earth and nowhere else.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I hitch-hiked from the Kalachakra Ceremony in Zanskar to Ladakh on the back of a freight truck. I saw the himalayas with a 360 degree panorama from the back of that truck, it was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.
