Walkabout – an Australian aborigine term for a rite of passage for a male child entering puberty. The boy goes into the wilderness for weeks and learns to survive by harmonising himself with the nature around him.
We in the modern world have no such “walkabout” and spend our entire lifetimes trying to subvert nature or destroying it to meet our ever growing wants.
This blog is my “walkabout”, my trying to understand the world and the people who live in it.
A major inspiration is my wife Revathi, who always encouraged me to get back to sketching and writing.
This concept of this blog was born on the very colonial porch of my friend and batchmate, Chanakya in Bengaluru. His charming wife, Hazel said “why don’t you start a blog?” …… and the rest would not have been history had it not been for another remarkable lady, my sister-in-law Nanditha, my cousin Prasad’s wife, who helped out an IT-challenged engineer by creating this blog.
I still have to learn how to load the pages correctly as I have lost a couple of drafts that I thought I had saved, I shall also learn how to include photos and my sketches.
Walkabout with Anil
