Ok. So just got to the part that bothered me seeing in the first episode so
1) definitely out of order because he's been in India for 14 months in the book but he's still fresh in the show
2) 6 months out of those 14 give an explanation to the book's name so we'll see how the show spins it

Finished the first episode and I definitely have to wait til I’m done the book to continue bc idk if the storylines are different or they’re moving certain storylines around

Went to go see if I’m far enough in to start the show and I don’t even think I’ve cracked into the second episode yet

There’s still 36 hours left in this book and it’s already one of the best books I’ve ever read

“One of the reasons why we crave love and seek it so desperately, is that love is the only cure for loneliness, and shame and sorrow. But some feelings sink so deep into the heart, that only loneliness can help you find them again. Some truths about yourself are so painful, that only shame can help you deal with them, and some things are just so sad that only your soul can do the crying for you”

1) “30 and not married??! What’s wrong with him??”
I feel attacked
2) finding a local like Prabhakar to show you everything the tourists usually don’t see is a must when traveling

Anytime someone says they work in imports/exports, I automatically assume they’re smuggling
