India 101

shanti shanti

INDIA | Monday, 26 November 2007 | Views [185] | Comments [1]

So, it's a beautiful morning.. I had some nice dreams last night.. I woke up refreshed.. I did some yoga.. not much, as per usual i was interrupted (the whole thing takes 2 hours so it's pretty much inevitable) but slowly slowly.. and finally there's peace .. shanti ..

The camel mela was just wrapping up as we arrived so, we didn't really get a chance to see that a) because we were sick and b) because having just come from Delhi to get away from the massive throngs of people i just wanted some peace and quiet.  And here it is.. very nice, very quiet.. and beautiful place.. so yeah, i eventually will make my way to Goa, which is about 36, 40 hours from here.. so i may have to make some stops on the way.. but slowly.. all in good time.. first there's some temples to check out - most notably the only Brahma temple in the world is here.. many temples for Visnu and Siva and Sarasvati and Ganesh and so on.. but only one for Brahma apparently and it's here.. so after breakfast maybe i go looking for him. 

Other than that i hope everyone's Thanksgiving went well and i'm so grateful not to be hearing Christmas songs and dealing with holiday traffic and publicity (as the French would say) aka advertisements .  And did i mention the weather.. so not looking forward to that when i get back.. oh well.. one day at a time..

au revoir.

Hi Josh, well take in as much of India's non holiday climate as possible because the airways are filled with 'Deck the Halls' but there always is a choice to listen or not............however ...when in Rome.......do we have to???????"
It is hard to believe that Goa is already on your agenda...it seemed that it was a place to see at the end of your visit...... Have a great day, dear Josh~ miss ya and love ya~xoxoxoDonna
