Endless Song
This is a top pick! As I sit in the cosy recesses of my home I wonder at times how I made such a long and tough journey, that too mostly on foot. I remember how every cell of my body screamed in protest on steep slopes and yet I moved on, sometimes alone in terrible ...
How to Get Kicked Out of a Puja in Under 15 Mins.
Last night was the Indian festival to celebrate the god Krishna's birth. Apparently Krishna was said to be born at midnight, so the festivities did't begin until late and went late into the evening. The celebrate Krishna, Indians fast for the whole ...

God I havent written in a WHILE! I'm sure nobody even noticed (sniff) but oh well... Here I am, in Dehradun... Alooone... Have been quite busy the last couple of weeks though - I'm even starting to enjoy being on my own and having my space etc! Its ...
Meditation Boot Camp
... sessions we could hear the sounds of practiced gun fire in the distance, plus the odd music playing and wild dogs barking - it is India after all :) As usual, the hardest part of the 10 days is the sitting - for the 10 hours each day, which can be ...
Wedding Week Begins
We arrived at the tiny Jolly Grant Airport in the afternoon after a bit of rest and a beautiful view of the snow-capped Himalayas. The airport is located halfway between the backpacker hotspot of Rishikesh (some Brits called the Beatles apparently hung ...
Hiking in the Fog
... U.S.! I can't quite believe it's already September, since it seems like it was just the middle of August when I arrived in India. I've been here a full 3 weeks as of today, and I think I'm settling in a bit. This weekend was a nice break from ...
Damn now I have to work!
A whole week without having to read my rambling rubbish - you lucky people! Well, I'm now in Dehradun up in the north of India, near the lovely Himalayas, in the middle of the lovely humid mosquito-ridden monsoon :o) Woohoo. Had the biggest stress in the ...
Vipassana Survivor of Dehradun
Hi Everyone, I am back from the Vipassana Retreat in Dehradun...very happy I did it, and also glad that I was flying blind when I decided to go. I might not have done it if I knew more about the retreat itself and the facility at which it was held. ...
Wedding Week Continues
... back to Delhi. (Yes, you read that right.) We drove through Haridwar, the first city on the Ganges, the holy river of India. The road was being turned into a divided highway, so it led to some traffic arrangements that you would not see in ...
Weekend Getaway to Hardiwar
... the banks of the Ganges. I soon discovered that these men were the offering collectors (as described in Lonely Planet India). The collector in my section of the crowd gave what seemed like a motivational speech, asking people to give monetary ...
People on the way to the valley of Basmati
... talk to some local, We'll find the way.... Until next time and the story continues. I will try to add in Dehradun, had some interesting encounters there. Also, we are getting into some great stuff in Rishikesh. Starting with doing yoga on rooftop ...
Forest Research Institute
Friday, May 23rd: Woke up at 5am again (still can't sleep later). Same morning schedule, then went to the Forest Research Institute. It was housed in a huge old building with tall rooms and hard dark wood floors and walls. It was founded in the late ...
17 hours from Leh to Dehradun
... asked was the one for Dehradun, and I only had to sit for minutes before departure. It took almost 9 hours to get to Dehradun, and about halfway there, we stopped and I bought some good aloo chat (minus the beatle) and freshly squeezed orange juice ...
Not my ideal family stay
... I will need to extend my stay in India to finish the project. They also got me excited about studying Ayurvedic medicine while in India, and I might go find a class for a few weeks in Haridwar after I finish making the film. Later on, I had some chow ...
Of Mountains and Monkies
... and hope it all worked out in the end. Then the hair tearing started again with how to extract ourselves to Kathmandu. India is a dynamic, modernizing, fast paced country eagerly embracing high tech, but their massive weakness is that it takes forever to ...
The Godfather

Dehradun
... joined me asking the standard questions and he took a particular interest when I couldn't answer how much longer I would be in India. Eventually we came across one of the shared rickshaws with the "#5" printed on the front. This was the one that passed ...
Depression and DULLness!
... out and received a flower and some holy orange goo to eat, how nice :o) Definitely the best temple so far! Back in Dehradun I had the most crowded bone-crunching journey of my time in India! A vikram is supposedly an eight-seater autorickshaw, but ...
A Bollywood Film and Auto-collisions

Back where we started...
So here we are back where it all began...nestled in the the Himalayan foothills in northern india. Just outside of the state capital Dehradun, lies the school - Ngoenga School for Tibetan Children with Learning Difficulties - where i taught for 5 ...
Almost done!
... how things work over here and of course my extensive Hindi vocabulary to help her out! Also showed her the non-existent sights of Dehradun - think she's already bored of the place! We went to see a Hindi movie, which turned out to be a rather large pile ...
Safari at Rajaji National Park and Cricket Match

Day number Ek (Hindi for 1) in Dehradun
Wednesday, May 21st (1st whole day in Dehradun): Prof. Eaton decided not to start class yet, so we could get settled in and get our cell phones. We had our first Hindi class after breakfast. The teacher is really enthusiastic about the philosophy of ...
The cracked rim

The drive from Delhi to Dehradun
... restaurant with lush gardens and exotic birds (in cages). The food was not too bad, but boring. Our hotel, Hotel Madhuban, in Dehradun is definately the nicest in the city. There are marble floors, manicured lawns, and a dining room where, on some ...
