What I found most interesting with this, is that it's more than just a travel story. I mean, I love those too, but with this, there was an even greater sense of relentless curiosity, and it's absolutely infectious.
I loved the videos and the photos, because it added another layer to the proceedings, and I loved the sponteneity of the adventure. I'm always jealous of travelling (even more so now we've got a little lad and going anywhere outside of the house requires a ludicrous amount of planning and stuff), so I'm always eager to experience it vicariously.
I hope there's eventually some conclusion (more for you than as a reader), but it pleases me that there'll be another part to your search.
Also, the first picture is so cool, it looks like a film still, the photo within the photo tells its own story.
Kris: this is a super cool story. As we've discussed I'm half Pakistani but have no cultural familiarity with that side. I've never been to the motherland and wouldn't know where to begin.
But it's empowering getting in touch with your identity, so I hope you continue your search.
I know this sounds ridiculous, but watching the movie RRR really activated something inside me. I felt for the first time "represented" in global media. I had a similar thought when I saw Riz Ahmed on the cover of a magazine. I thought, Whoa, that dude looks like me.
Keep searching and digging and tapping into what makes you, you.
You are certainly not afraid to wander!

Thanks for sharing mate!
Haven't read the white tiger but will add to my list!
Like all things, my family story is more complicated, and too much for this thread. One day we'll discuss over some drinks.
In the meantime, check out RRR. It's pure joy!
