potted history of a natural incense stick maker
Let me tell you a little about my life. I was born at the time of Diwali in India which is a very auspicious time for a child to be born. Secondly, there were not three wise men outside my house on the night of my birth but 56. Let me explain. A group of naga saddhus or wandering holy men had been passing by when they smelled the natural smell of my father's incense sticks, and came in to enquire just what on earth could be the origin of this godly smell. While inside they happened to hear the sound of my mother in childbirth and realised that they had arrived at a very handy time. No Indian parent can refuse the first wish given to them after their child is born. Anyway, these unscrupulous fellows were making a lot of trouble amongst themselves deciding just what they could ask for. One was suggesting they ask for three spitted goats with extra hot chilli spices on the top, and another was suggesting they ask for my father's entire annual crop of tobacco which was drying under the eaves of the roof. Another fellow however came up with the most terrible idea yet. He asked my parents if they would give the only gift to which they would rather have died than given, which was their first born son. So I was handed over, still covered i swaddling clothes, and began my life with the wandering sadhus who taught me the ancient art of making natural incense, as well as the powers of healing, deep meditation techniques and a variety of other secret things which have left to my unusual life.
Anyway, over the next ten or fifteen years I grew into a young boy and was soon recognised to have certain powers which even the wandering holy men feared. If someone crossed me they would instantly fall down ill with some diseases, while for those who sought my blessings all manner of good items would be appearing in their life, like a plate of savoury samosas to go to yahoo.savoury samosas, a bunch of aromatherapy essential oils, some lavender sticks, some myrrh, some gold, or on one special occasion an incense burner made of solid diamonds and smelling of pure rose oil.
