The first thing you need to understand if you are reading this blog is that there will be no "Welcome to the Jungle" references. Except for that one, but it was only made to illustrate the point that any reference to that song would be lame. As far as I can tell that song has nothing to do with living in my jungle. It is true that we do have fun and games in the jungle where I am currently residing (I play a lot of Clue), but I doubt they would be the sort of fun and games that Axl Rose was referring to.
Furthermore, I'm not entirely sure whether my jungle would bring anybody to their "shun,n',n',n',n',n',n'n' knees", and unlike Guns N' Roses I do not want to watch you bleed. So if you are looking for Guns N' Roses references you are in the wrong place buddy. Apparently bloggers associated with GN'R get arrested (http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&rls=DACA,DACA:2006-32,DACA:en&q=guns+n%27+roses+blog) and I'm not trying to get locked up. Danny's Jail Blog might be fun for the reader, but I don't think your reading-enjoyment is worth the sacrifice on my end. So I'm sorry, but Jungle it is, Guns N' Roses it's not.
All of that being said, this is my blog about living in a jungle in India! Technically, this "jungle" is more of a rainforest. A "shola" rainforest more specifically. But my feeling is that if your average Canadian was exploring near where I live, they would say "It sure is amazing that I am walking through this jungle", not "Wow, it sure is amazing that I am walking through this shola rainforest". So for the sake of keeping it simple for my Canadian readers, I will say I live in a jungle.
On September 12th I packed my bags and got on a Jet Airways flight from Toronto to Bangalore, and 4 days later I began my life living in a hut in Southern Karnataka. This is my blog about that experience. Hopefully you, my loyal reader, will not be too demanding and expect posts every day. If that is what you are expecting, you clearly do not have much understanding of internet connectivity in remote Indian rainforests. In which case, you are probably the exact person who should be checking my blog regularly and learning what it's all about.
On another note this blog likely won't be entirely about living in a jungle. At some point, I will have to switch it up and keep it fresh. So you may be subjected to long posts about soccer, and my favourite team (Arsenal) in particular. Other possible topics include Bollywood Film reviews, and the things I would do for some beef.
So there you have it....here's my blog. Enjoy.
