European sadhus.

Hampi, 22-12-1994. I roll from one cilam party into the next and I`m slowly starting to understand I`m in the process of getting hooked to Lord Shiva`s chilam. Meanwhile I meet all sorts of people, and talk with european sadhus who`ve been in India much longer as I dare to imagine. They dress and look just like indian sadhus, they even smell like them, their white european skin has gone a leathery brown from years of exposure to the indian sun. Most of them seem to make the little money they need to survive here by selling tolas of charras to international backpack travellers like me. Most of their time is spent in the village chai shops where most of the backpackers hang out as well, making mix after mix for the next chilam.
