I have been missing. I know. I have been terribly guilty of going AWOL. The past few weeks have been busy times for me and Nic and the studio. We’ve been involved in so many new things – new clients, consulting work, etc. that it’s been a whirlwind. Who says the year winds down as …

Travels must be accompanied by humour and curiosity – only then will the journey be as memorable as the destination! I was like …

Never in a million years would I think of going to India. Not because I’m snooty or anything. It’s just that I wouldn’t know if I could survive Mother India, after all the stories I’ve heard about “don’t drink the water”, “don’t get ripped off by porters” etc. My best friend travelled to India many …
