Pop Nostalgia.

The Thursday night Bo had a Britney-meltdown so we shaved his head.

After.

Giving Naomiface.

Then after we went and picked up Cody and Matt and we all went back to the puja palace for a mini crayparty. There was much fun to be had. Heard the new Scissor Sisters song, Invisible Light. SOGOOD! And we listened to a bunch of pop and danced around like kids while we drank, smoked and read magazines. It was greeeat! Here's what remains of it.

Let me start off by introducing myself...

I am Joshua from puja. I am the New Millenium Monk and the New Generation Jeweler. I'm the kingprincejester and my purpose is to inspire and spread love.

The kingdom of puja is a world where you can only be yourself, but you can be whoever you want to be. Dreams become reality. Reality is imagination. 

puja is about empowerment and love. No judgements. Be free and whatever you do, own it. We are a tribe and we are all connected, even if only because we are  humans in existence at this very moment. We are experiencing life together and we need to support and empower each other. Help others to be free by freeing yourself. No one can create your life, but you.

"Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The trouble-makers. The round heads in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status-quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify, or vilify them. But the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do."

-Jack Kerouac.

This blog will be about life. My life. Your life. Our lives.

Style. Culture. Travel. Adventures. Inspiration. Creations. Revelations. Quotes. Anecdotes. And anything else that makes me thinksmilebreathelivelove.

Love is real, spread it.

Psst. I'm going to tell you a little secret of mine...

I'm going to change the world.

More Jaipur...

My dreamland or my reality?

Hello fellow Dreamers, Lovers, Creators, etc.

Over the next little while I will be posting photos from my recent trip to India. I had started blogging there but unfortunately I was somewhat disconnected from the cyber realm and was not able to keep it up so I thought I would share some of my beautiful experiences with you now.

Ya know, just another bonfine in the market. (New Delhi, India)

6am, just before heading out on a roadtrip to Jaipur.

Till next time.

Peace&love.

Internet-less Foreigner.

Ah! I've moved into my own place now in a colony called Hauz Khas. But I haven't had internet there so I haven't been able to blog =(

I've come to my aunt's house to use her internet.

And now my photos won't load. So I'll just give you a quick update and hopefully post photos real soon!

- My Mom came for 2 weeks. She helped me get settled into my place and we just kicked it.

- Went to Jaipur (with my Mom, 2 cousins and my aunt). It was amaaazing! Got lots of photos (that I wanted to post). We were just there for two days so it was a quick trip but it was so much fun.

- Started taking Hindi classes so that's been a lot of fun.

- One of the biggest reasons I came to India was to learn more about making jewelry, but I've changed my major since coming... from Jewelry-Making 101 to Jewelry Manufacturing 101. It's a change for the better and now I've got more solid goals in mind.

- I've been spending a lot of time researching and designing which is amazing to have time to do.

- Been exploring. India is so amazing and it's an incredible experience to be here as long as I am. It's so different than just coming to visit for a couple weeks. I'm really started to get to know places and the style and pace of life here. And people are starting to get to know me, too. There are people along my walk home from the local market that always wave to me as I go past. I love it =)

Well, I guess that's all for now, but I'll hopefully have another post with lots of photos sooon!

Peace&love.

Joshua.

PS. Fern and anyone else wanting to learn more about Holi, www.holifestival.org has a lot of good information about it. Or if you just Google it, there are some good entries about it.

PSS. Dear Lisa. On the way home from Jaipur I saw the first "Horn Ok Please" truck of the whole trip thus far. They now all seem to just say Horn Please. It's almost as if they've painted over all the "Ok"s. It's been rather sad not to have seen more but I still have hope!
