if you have ideas on how to make any and or all of these a reality, i would be very interested in hearing from you

in no particular order of course

book ideas

• returning to india to further chronicle the spiritual scene there particularly in rishikesh, which i feel i can easily write a book about and the northern himalayan regions which i merely received a tasting of
• writing a book about the kumbha mela, the big ticket spiritual gathering to take place in early 2012
• i would like to work on a book interviewing psychics
• helping you with your autobiography that you keep promising yourself you will write but never get around to
• writing a book or helping to film a documentary on the infamous buddha boy of nepal who many claim to be the next incarnation of the the buddha and who has mysteriously disappeared from underneath his meditation tree
