I was 20 when I first came to India with nothing but a restless mind and an old Enfield I bought from a friend in Delhi who taught me to ride in one dusty afternoon. He took my money, flew back to Florida, and left me with one rule: don’t hit a cow, and only ride between 2–6 a.m. if you want to survive the heat and smog. Somehow, that became a philosophy for everything that followed.

I crossed the country like a kid inside a dream — Calcutta to Delhi to Rishikesh — sleeping on the bike when I had to, chasing chai stalls to stay awake, tossing the bike on trains when I could afford it. I swam in the Ganges, did yoga with elders who moved like water, bought vinyl in back-alley shops, fell in love the way only your twenties let you, and wrote long confusing emails to my mom from glowing village internet cafés.

In Gujarat I stopped long enough to help with earthquake relief, eat thalis in strangers’ homes, and learn “Kem Cho” and “Majama.” India didn’t just teach me independence — it cracked me open creatively. It showed me how improvisation is its own kind of discipline, how getting lost is a form of education.

I never imagined I’d be invited back years later to collaborate with artists I once watched on café computers — working with actors like SRK, making videos like “Lean On” that crossed billions of views, nearly dying during spiritual side quests in Leh and Varanasi, falling for Bollywood sweethearts, and still believing every strange turn meant something.

Twenty-five years later I returned to these roads, riding nine hours a day across the Himalayas on a much newer Enfield. And then — perfectly — I ended up performing at a massive Enfield festival in Goa and celebrating afterward in a motorcycle garage, as if time folded back on itself.

Two decades have changed India and me both. But every time I come back, I feel the same truth: growth happens when you surrender to the unknown, when the road teaches you more than any classroom could.

India was my beginning. And somehow, it still is.

Andrew Wakefield, the original antivax liar.

He published fraudulent antivax research.

These fraudulent findings have been retracted and his medical liscense has been revoked.

If you still believe the antivax lie in 2025, you ARE THE PROBLEM!!!

@SimonMagus @wonkywalker87 @broseph_stalin India was one of the decisive foundations of Britain's superpower status. The railways built for resource extraction were financed through Indian taxes, revenues, and Indian passengers/freight, even though the profits went to Britain.

[longlongpng @highlandermeri_]

@SimonMagus @wonkywalker87 @broseph_stalin A large share of Britain's rise came from Indian revenue, raw materials, markets, soldiers, land and labour. Indian surplus used to pay for Britain's trade deficit with Europe

@wonkywalker87 @wihtwyrd @SimonMagus @broseph_stalin The Marthas would have probably gained power after the Mughals. We will never know.

@Conservamind @BarristerMansur @DalrympleWill @JuliaHB1 Reducing India's GDP from 25 percent to 4 percent and leaving a poverty rate of 90 percent is not an improvement. India would have had a profoundly different trajectory if the invaders never came. Its current form of government is not based on Britain's,

[longlongpng @highlandermeri_]

@Conservamind @BarristerMansur @DalrympleWill @JuliaHB1 Lol that is a laughable statement. After hundreds of years of loot, exploitation starvation and degradation they should be "thankful". It's actually the other way around, the UK should be thankful for all the development they enjoyed at India's expense.

[longlongpng @highlandermeri_]

@wonkywalker87 @SimonMagus @broseph_stalin Sure but it wasn't a major superpower like Britain. Britain became a superpower because of India and the colonies

@DiggingInTheDi1 @gosuprime022 You are the biggest low IQ moron on this app. Always tweeting about India like an obsessed psychotic nutjob. It's living rent free in your pathetic head.

[longlongpng @highlandermeri_]

@wonkywalker87 @SimonMagus @broseph_stalin However India's socialist policies after independence did it no favours and had it taken a different path it would be in a much better place today.

[longlongpng @highlandermeri_]

@wonkywalker87 @SimonMagus @broseph_stalin India inherited a heavily extractive colonial economy (deindustrialisation, suppressed industry, low literacy, famine-prone agriculture, almost no modern manufacturing base).
China & South Korea were never subjected to the same type of long-term economic extraction by Britain.

[longlongpng @highlandermeri_]

@wonkywalker87 @SimonMagus @broseph_stalin Belgium was not in the 1800's. Britain needed raw materials and India and the colonies provided what it needed
