DURIAN DRAMAS
On a recent visit to London, I had an extraordinary encounter with a durian that I?d love to share. Durians are probably my favourite fruit and are hard to find in the UK, so I was delighted to buy a whole fresh 8lb specimen in Chinatown. Known as the ?king of fruits?, durian is renowned for tasting divine, but unfortunately smelling like a sewer: the shocked reactions from other passengers on the underground on the way home were, needless to say, quite something to witness.  That was just the start of my durian drama however. I did not want to stink out my sister?s beautiful Victorian town house, where I was staying, with the durian, so put it up on the roof garden to eat later. The next day, it rained constantly and by 3pm I was really frustrated, as I just wanted to go up to the roof and eat my durian. A little later the rain seemed to ease and I gleefully set out for the rooftop with a big knife. As I finally sunk my teeth into the gorgeous soft, velvety flesh of the durian, I turned around to discover that the door to the house, which has an automatic rain sensor, had been activated and was now locked tight shut. Hmmmmmmm?interesting?no one else was home and would not be for another 36 hours or so and here was I, on the rooftop of a 5-storey house in central London with no keys, no phone, no money, no shoes, wearing just a summer dress and grasping a stinking, obscure south-east Asian fruit in my hands?I had to laugh? What transpired, however was a truly magical experience. I stayed completely calm and centred, assured that all would be well. I finished my durian peacefully, meditating on the fact that help would appear and indeed it did? Just as I felt the impulse to lean around the rooftop to the next property, a woman appeared there, coming up the stairs. This was the lovely Lisa from Malaysia, who was set to be my saviour. Lisa is never normally home on the weekends and never normally ventures to the roof of the house, but at that exact moment had gone there to pick something up. I called for her help and ended up climbing across the roofs and down into her house to safety. She was extremely kind and seemed to find the whole situation just as amusing as I did ? she lent me a phone and shoes and a while later I set off down the King?s Road in Chelsea with nothing more than the clothes on my back and a borrowed pair of shoes, off to meet a friend who was willing to put me up for the night. It was such a liberating experience for me. I travel a lot and tend to carry quite a lot of things with me as I move around and this was an amazing affirmation for me from the universe that I need nothing more than myself and that I am always protected and safe, no matter what. As I walked down that busy shopping street, packed with bustling people, I felt such a natural high and so free, it was truly an amazing experience. So, I am grateful to the delicious durian for helping create such an adventure for me. The fact that my ?heroine?, Lisa is from Malaysia, one of the native growing lands of this magical fruit did not escape me too as part of this cosmic joke. The durian works in magical ways ? beware ;)
