A couple days ago, I was talking about the history of the mighty Mughal Empire of northern India, which was the first faction in India that allowed Islam and Hinduism to coexist peacefully (this was done under the rule of Akbar the Great). Here is one of its standing legacies…

I get to teach a class on something I care about!

Fri, 02 Dec 2011 23:43:16 +0000

After presenting my knowledge on St Thomas the Apostle and his early ministry in India to the Rector of my church, I get to teach a class in the new year about Early Thomasan Christianity in India and compare and contrast it to Hinduism. Indian history and religion? Why yes, I think I’ll enjoy teaching that…

Renaissance Man versus Bohemian

Mon, 21 Nov 2011 21:32:02 +0000

The Renaissance was a movement in Western Europe that started in northern Italy in the late 1400’s and proceeded through the 1500’s. It was a movement of art, political change, and for the general progression of mankind as a whole unit.

The Bohemian movement began in Paris in the 1870’s and featured mostly people interested in instant self gratification and selfish pleasure. This movement is largely considered ended with the French declaration of war against the German Empire in 1914 when most of the Bohemians found themselves hated by their fellow Frenchmen. The spirit of the Bohemians would later be revisited by the self-righteous Hippie movement in Britain and the United States in the late 1960’s and later again by the Hipster movement of the late 90’s and present day.

Do yourself a favour. Be a product of the renaissance, not Bohemia.

A Sample from the Play I'm Working On

Browne: Where am I?
Britannia: Welcome to Eternity. You are outside time and space. You, like your ancestors are now forever.

My Playwriting plans...

Sun, 13 Nov 2011 00:44:44 +0000

For those of you curious as to my playwriting ‘career’, I am pleased to inform you that I have finished draft one of one play, ‘Oliver’ which is based on the rise and fall of Oliver Cromwell and the ‘English Commonwealth’ of the 1640’s, and the Puritan Tyranny in Britain during that time period, as well as the unification of England, Scotland, and Wales that came about as a result of the restoration that followed.

I have started draft one of a new play, ‘India’!. India! will be about the Indian Rebellion of 1857, a British soldier and an Indian dancer who meet each other and fall for each other. I originally planned this one as a novel. Now it’s a play. Lots of Hindi and English to be involved.

I’ve also started a vague outline for a play based on Eric Clapton’s song, ‘Running on Faith’. That one is hard to explain…

Rose Tyler: I love you.
Doctor: You're quite right too. And, I suppose this will be my last chance to say it, but Rose Tyler... (he fades away).

I still hate Sam Shepard.

Saw his play ‘The Tongue’ and I still hate Sam Shepard and the whole 1960’s surrealist movement.

Sometimes I go back through my old journals.

I’m always questioning of things I’ve written down in the past. One such quote that is making me question myself entirely: ‘The opening line of Beowulf should’ve been “Thank God those Romans are gone, I’m Chester McTeeth”’.
