I Yam what I Yam

In Pondicherry, I heard a tiring number of variations on the following theme: I have come to India to find myself. Of course, as someone who entertains extreme doubts about the integrity and singularity of anyone’s self, let alone mine own, I have not the slightest hope of finding my lost totality in India.
When I spied this stack of crates in Mamallapuram, the force of self-recognition was thus quite a shock. I want this on a t-shirt. Maybe I do have a spiritual side after all. Fruitniks of the world, unite.
