It was the  5 th time that I arrived in India , I had been before in Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, China, Hong Kong , Cambodia … had a great time in every place … but when I entered India, I immediatly felt at “ Home „. It started when just arrived at Mumbai Airport at 1:30 in the night, I decided to go to the tea shop and have there a Masala Chai. I came only with Usd and no single Rupee in my pocket , it took one minute and I was straight invited by an Indian. The place was in Airport area , but outdoor with chairs and tables, took out my Amplifier and my Guitar and jammed over some Electronic tracks from Younger Brothers . After some time a group of airport securities came and the sat down next table. I went down with my volume immediatly, but to my astonihment the gave me hand sign I should go up with the volumne and continue to play … it something around 2:30 in the morning …

made me simply happy , home again !
