babspanky Posted April 1, 2008 Author Share Posted April 1, 2008 I hate hearing how stressed he is, it makes me quite upset actually...so does that mean he won't be watching when Fred delivers the news about the official-ness? Oh, it doesn't feel so special anymore....I mean, I know he must have a laptop or a computer or something but it just doesn't feel as if he's close anymore...simply because he's not in london lol. Yeah, I hate it when he's not in London too. Not that I would see him, but I just like to know he's there. Maybe he is going to work with Ravi Shankar! Eat lots of yummy food! He can do all of that, but what's concerning me is that Perez said in his interview that Mika had cut his hair. At the time, I thought, so what? But reading that article, I am thinking, embracing the Hindu way of life? And you know what kind of haircuts the monks have, don't you? No! No! NO!

englishrose Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 He'll probably complain about the lack of shampoo. Speaking of which, don't Hindus shave their heads? I thought they grow it really long and put it in turbans. I think this trip will do him alot of good, though. Just wandering around India, soaking up the culture, just RELAXING. He's had such a busy year and now he's got time ON HIS OWN, and I personally think that's what he needed most. Just because he's out in India, I don't think it will necessarily mean that the next album will be influenced by that culture...I find you get more inspiration when you're just left alone with your head. But maybe he'll find a new story or two out there - who knows. Who fancies travelling to India to find out? I'll come... (And yes, I wanted to go there before I knew he was there... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming it will grow back in time for the tour... but the Photoshop thread may have been more prophetic than intended! --Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scut Monkey Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 From Wikipedia about Hindu monasticism: "Generally, Vaisnava monks shave their heads except for a small patch of hair on the back of the head, while Saivite monks let their hair and beard grow uncut." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monasticism I hope he's not embracing the former form.

englishrose Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 If he DOES shave his head, he sure as hell had better send it to us so that we can mourn it properly. (His hair, not his head.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
findingmywords Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I thought he was in LA this whole time so I've looking paranoid whenever I walk home from school Why'd you think he was still in LA? Recording already? awww he's in india... he's even farther... Well at least he's doing what he wants to I'm excited! haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKateisaKate Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 I want to go to the world capital of yoga! Plus, I've been trying to convince my ballet teacher to fall in love with Mika. Ha. She teaches yoga, too. This will surely work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mariposa Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Hmmmmmm....for some reason this is exciting me! there is something special going on here. hope you're right...whatever it may be... Wonder if the album art for the 2nd album will be Indian-inspired then. That could be really nice. I'm still amused by the idea of Bollywood Disco. And half-wondering if this isn't just a fancy excuse for a tan and a holiday. There are no recording studios in private yogi retreats after all... Edit: Oh, Scut beat me to it. Oy, I hope he DOESN'T try to do any Bollywood style music videos. That would be so Gwen Stefani. I think appropriating a culture and reducing it to some kind of decorative fetish object as a marketing technique is beneath him (or anyone decent, really). --Jack Mika doing Bollywood?! lol, I don't wanna imagine hime doing that.....but I'm sure he will get some kind of inspiration on that trip...

nikibella Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 Hey peeps don't be so sad, he's probably on one of his "not so average" holidays i did read somewhere he likes to explore different activities etc like kayacking and maybe this time he fancied a little yoga...he's been on the road a long time and needs to destress..i can just imagine him with a face pack on having a massage..hehe! He is probably looking for inspiration too..but the main thing is like the teminator..he'll be back!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatagordinha Posted April 1, 2008 Share Posted April 1, 2008 This is very interesting, thanks Babs. I did read somewhere that Mika likes Indian food, his favourite being a rice dish called olor pilaf. Anyone else remember reading this??? I'm SURE I read it somewhere. Not that he needed to go to India to get it, but I suppose he'll get a good one there as opposed to some rubbishy Londonified version. Someone please tell me I didn't imagine him saying that. He should come to the Curry Mile in Manchester, it's the best! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he cancelled his only Aussie dates his management said it was due to "recording committments" not "doing yoga in India". Sorry if I'm not as understanding as the rest of you towards his "break".
