After spending way too long here, i'm off to manali.. everyone says i sound more comfortable here but that's just cuz i've been in the same place for a long time. everyone else i've met here came the other way -> delhi to manali to here and is now off to amritsar.. literally about 10 different people headed to amritsar in the past few days.. i did meet a couple girls last night who skipped manali to come here for the dalai lama's teaching, but anyhow..
i went to check out of my hotel room this morning but the guy said since i've been here so long that i could leave my stuff until this afternoon. my bus takes off at 8.30pm and theoretically arrives in manali around 6am. hopefully no earlier as i wouldn't have anywhere to go. now that i'm about to travel again i'm a little nervous. most people tend to pick up people to travel with but not me.. i'm unconventional.. or wot. one thing i do know is i have to go to rishikesh now and stay for at least a week. (the yoga capital of the world). met this guy from denmark the other day who has been studying yoga for years and who was pretty in tune with where i'm coming from and he pretty much told me along the lines of 'you can't beat the brain with the brain'. so yeah. other than that.. it's one step at a time. so many things to see here and only something like 60 or 65 days until i have to be back in mumbai getting ready to leave. [can't wait to get back.. but also can't wait to see the rest of india that i have to see.. and then probably have to come back again to see more]
so if you can't tell i'm a bitter scattered right now. i have no idea what to do with the next 6 hours until i check out and get my bags.. and then i have to sit for 2.5hours 'eating dinner' before i can go wait for my bus..
