Indian Stuff Properly Online [en]

[fr] Enfin, le journal de mon année en Inde il y a dix ans est à nouveau correctement accessible. Il était temps!

Climb to the Stars has grown into a huge sprawling mess over the last 10+ years. That’s life, I guess. Did you know that one of the reasons I became an active online citizen was that I was going to spend a year abroad in India, when I was a student?

During its first year of life, Climb to the Stars (which didn’t go by that name yet) was mainly the repository of my travel notes. I remember the day when I added a kind of stats thingy and discovered that I had 2-4 people visiting my site each day. Champagne!

Anyway, time has passed, and at one point, a lot of my old material missed the migration to WordPress and stayed stuck in an old version of my site (some shady subdomain you don’t want to know, particularly since the last server move killed off the old code that held it together).

So, here we go. Even if it’s old writing, it deserves a place here. Head over to my logbook (also available on a single page) and the India index that I’ll try to freshen up a bit over the next months.

  • Balcon méditatif au chalet16.06.2026
    Je suis au chalet. Juste pour deux nuits. Ma chambre à coucher est en train d’être repeinte, donc je ne peux pas y dormir. Donc je profite. Les deux nuits d’avant, entre le vidage de la chambre et l’arrivée des peintres, j’ai dormi sur le canapé à l’eclau. Le pauvre Juju était tout perturbé! Je … Continue reading "Balcon méditatif au chalet"
  • Concussion With a Side of Grief, or Vice-Versa07.06.2026
    Oscar died a bit over a month ago. Five weeks exactly, actually. Of course it hasn’t been simple. I’ve been wanting to write for weeks, but not getting around to it. It’s a pattern, isn’t it. It has been for years, decades probably. Wanting to write, needing to write, and not getting around to it. … Continue reading "Concussion With a Side of Grief, or Vice-Versa"
  • Faire porter sa chatte01.06.2026
    Je sais qu’il y a des tas de gens qui font le choix de ne pas stériliser leur chatte “pour avoir des petits”, et qui peut-être ne comprennent pas l’énervement des gens branchés “protection animale” face à ça. Si on est responsable, qu’on soigne bien les chatons, qu’on leur trouve de bons foyers, où est … Continue reading "Faire porter sa chatte"

    Je voulais écrire hier. Hier, deux semaines après la mort d’Oscar. Le choc a passé. Je suis de retour au travail – avec difficulté la semaine dernière, on verra ce que raconte celle-ci. Il reste le manque. Il me manque. Je commence tout juste à entrer parfois dans mon appartement sans ressentir très fort la présence … Continue reading "C’est pas le pied"
  • Ghosts in the Heart08.05.2026
    In the days of early grief, the pull towards the being you lost is still there. It pulls at your heart but has nowhere to go. It is a ghost. A ghost of habits and rituals, a ghost of familiarity, who feeds on unmoored love – another name for grief.  Like a phantom limb in … Continue reading "Ghosts in the Heart"
