Lokesh is an exile by choice. He didn't just quit the corporate rat race; he burned the bridge and pissed on the ashes.

A former resident of the beige, fluorescent-lit coffins of the 9-to-5 slaughterhouse, he chose the gutter and the taste of freedom over a pension check and a dental plan.

He writes from the witching hour—somewhere between the smog of Hong Kong and the dirty-glass bars of Bangkok—fueled by bad decisions, cheap wine, and a militant rejection of modern nonchalance.

He believes that travel is a curse that strips away the bullshit, and that the only currency that actually matters before the worms get us is time.

His work is not for the fragile; it is a survival manual for the dark.

Notes From Exile by Lokesh Tuli
“You either open your mouth and spill the god damn truth and watch it hurt the people you love or you swallow it down and take the heavy, unspoken thing home in your gut and let it eat you alive from the inside out.”

“First, the curiosity rots. Then the dick stops working. Then the kindness. You turn into a gray thing. A thing that drives on the freeway and curses at strangers. A thing that drinks light beer in front of the television, waiting for the void.”
lokesh tuli, Notes From Exile: The "Manual for the Broken”

“The Goal is to be Distinguishably Well-Travelled.
They tell you to see the world so you can take pretty pictures and brag at dinner parties. To hell with that.
I want to travel to see if the misery is different in Tokyo than it is in Los Angeles.
I want to collect sunrises like loose change and sins like souvenirs.
To be 'well-travelled' isn't about the stamps in your passport. It’s about how many times you’ve had your heart broken by a city you can never go back to.”
Lokesh Tuli, Notes From Exile: The "Manual for the Broken”

“The audacity of humans to back to things they know are harmful....

We return to the ex who ruined us, the bottle that drowned us, and the job that kills us everyday you know Why?
Because peace is Fucking boring, and we are terrified of being bored.
We don’t want a happy ending. We want a god damn story.”
