Bindu's Repose

Meditation Resort

OK, so I was going to go to a wedding in Delhi, but the wedding is tomorrow and I only just got in touch with Gopesh (my friend who invited me) this evening. All trains are booked and the flights cost way too much $$$... In a way I'm really bummed, because I would have really enjoyed meeting Gopesh's family and also, I imagine that Hindi weddings in India are huge affairs. At least I'll get to meet his wife since she is comming back here with him in early Feb. Also, I will visit Delhi later in my trip as that is my departure city for Thailand.

Last night I was walking to a friends house for a Japanese party when I ran into a wedding procession. Holly crap!!! It was night time, but there were all these guys with huge lanterns on their heads (too bad I didn't have my camera.) Very loud wonderfull music, dancing in the street (totally screwing up traffic.) and very loud firecrackers!!!! Yikes... Fun though.

So I'm still in the cheap ($18/week) apt near the commune. Lots of people were here for the death day celebration (Jan 19th) and are leaving now, so I hope to find a much nicer place soon. I have an apointment with a reputable agent tomorrow. I'm currently thinking that I'll spend a month more here and then head out to Goa. I have heard that a really nice apt will cost between $100 and $200 per month! (Which I'm happy about :)

A couple people have asked via email about my dialy routine, so far it looks roughly like this:

Get up between 9:30 and 10:30 in the morning.
Head over to the "Resort" for some samosa and tea
Goto Teartha Zen Garden and read
Have lunch
I started playing with Poi (colorfull spinny things, the guy that was here with juggling clubs left so I'm taking up a new sport until I can find something to juggle :) today, so I will probably be doing that for an hour or two in the afternoon.
Kundalini
Snack
Shower and change for white robe
White robe
Get changed back into streat clothes
Dinner (maybe in the commune or maybe out.)
If something is going on at the resort (like dancing) then hang out
Usually get to bed by midnight or 1am (just like home)

I usually find some time to do some emails in the middle of all that hard work too :)

Kundalini is really good. Although I seem to be fantasizing about romance when I'm supposed to be in inner silence :)

I have another Core Alignment (massage) session tomorrow which sounds like it will be really good (will be doing deep abdomen work.)

Have been spending some time with Vardhan (used to be Ben -- of solstice fame) and his japanese GF, Hansa. Hence the japaneese party last night :) It is strange to sort of know someone for a long time but not really know them and then meet and hangout half-way around the world... Pretty cool really.

Peace and Love to you all!!!
