The story so far ...

I've been meaning to do this for ages - and now it's happening. I'm not going to give away too many secrets. At least, not my secrets. But let me say that I've been living in India for quite a while. My wife is Indian. And more than that - she's a brahmin.

What does that mean? Well, keep on reading. I've been married for well over a decade. We have kids. And it's a really successful relationship. Which is down to a lot of hard work and compromises by both of us.

But brahmins are - well, it's a miracle that they have kept going as a caste, given just how fussy and fastidious they are. You will see what I mean a little later on.

Well, I'm started - and who knows where this will lead.
