Jack Laurence

As Barry says, he travelled there quite a bit going with family, girlfriends and the occasional mate.

And one particular year, he and a mate decided to take a trip together.

So just a bit of friendly advice from Barry's mate that he keeps in the back of his mind as they continue about their holiday fun, enjoying the sun, the beaches and the crystal blue waters of the Arabian Sea.

One day, the friends decide to head off to visit a local market called Anjuna Market.

Described as delightfully chaotic, the flea market is billed as one of the best places to visit in Goa.

A treasure trove for those who love to shop, with thousands of stalls adorning the market every week.

And Barry picks up a few items.

The drug that his mate was rumoured to have chucked in with his parcels home was diazepam, which for those who are unfamiliar, it's essentially Valium that people can use as an aid to help them sleep.

Here in Australia and many Western countries around the world, diazepam is a drug that you can only get with a prescription from your doctor.

But in India at the time that Baz was visiting, it was happily sold over the counter.

As he mentions, he thinks nothing of it and goes on about his life.

And in March, he heads back to India.

Barry continues on with his holiday as planned and then heads home.

He says when he gets home, he did try and get in touch with his mate about the letter he'd received, but he says this guy had gone over to Ireland and he couldn't reach him.

However, yet again, there was no issues that Barry needed to worry about.

He thought he threw away the letter and carried on with his life.

He would return again to India both in 2007 and 2008.

He and his mother had decided to go in on a property together in India, a type of investment slash holiday home that they'd purchased off plan.

So Barry lands, as he always did, in India.

Excited, his apartment is finally ready to take possession of.
