George Gittoes: 6/10/22 – The New Yellow House

George Gittoes: 12/9/22 – Borderlessness Peshawar
I left for Islamabad knowing I was “going out on a limb” – that it could “all be for nothing,” and I may have to return to Australia not having been able to enter Afghanistan if I could not obtain a visa. The Afghan Embassy in Canberra had ceased giving visas without explanation and we […]

Yellow Submarine to Taliwood: 04/11/21
I took time out this morining to read Hermann Hesse’s book Siddhartha (1922) again after about fifty-five years since the first reading. Then I had to write about it. This sense of a life journey had been a big element of this journey. […]

Yellow Submarine to Taliwood: 2/10/21
