... lost otherwise). Stunning views from the top among daitys covered with floweres and prasad. On route back down we stopped for photo;s and learnt about their 90 year old father that was walking with us. A little man slightly hunched in appearance, but full of life! We learnt that this man had suffered ecxma, diabetes and asthma and had only been given a short time to live, that was 5 years ago. His son explained that he beleived his health is down to god and practising yoga. This old ...

... airport, Rutherford and I experienced the most diverse group of people we have ever seen in one place. There were so many different skin colors, robes and turbans. Some women were covered from head to toe while others were dressed like me. It was pretty amazing. Rutherford interviewed a man from Oman and though his English was not all that great, he was smiley and welcoming. Anyway, it was a fascinating layover and definitely made me want to learn more about the variety of cultures ...

... woman. There was a man there though (I assumed he was the ticket master) and he woke her up and kicked her out for me. I managed to get my backpack in close to the window and had enough room to curl up into a little ball to sleep. I lapsed in and out of consciousness during the night. It seemed that I was sleeping for some 40 minutes or so and waking up every hour. I was happy to be able to get any form of sleep though...regardless of how uncomfortable it was. I was ...

... amazing how much one can pick up on the storyline just by listening to the inflection of the voices and watching the eyes. There is a lot of eye action in Indian television programs and music videos. By the time I had seen the finals of Miss India 2009 I knew I had turned the corner. The next morning I was able to join up with everyone for a great day of rafting (Jack kayaked!) some of the biggest rapids on that section of the river. We started out with ...

... think that I can find the 'music' (whatever that really means) in a huge range of sound and noise around us, and like a wide range of generes and styles of recorded music - but, contemporary Indian music - mainly heard on **** mobile phonmes on buses, just like at home, IS AWFUL.... It mostly sounds to me like stupid euro dance beats mixed with traditional induian instruments and structure - awful ********. Cheesy, stupid, basic rubbish. Rishikesh is based around the ...

... Yin lifestyles and replenish red blood cells. I have just tried this and have been told that my normally 'sallow' skin looks refreshed (how rude!). Fasting regularly. Ideally one day a week to help the body rejuvenate itself, but longer fasts are also recommended from time to time, particularly when one is ill. Stop taking all western chemical medicines, unless entirely necessary, in favour of natural alternatives or ideally nothing, due to having ...

... for Hindus. Went up a mountain by chairlift, visited several temples, received the "red dot" on our forehead and were blessed... which cost me 20 Rs. Beggars everywhere, colors and action too. I love it. Sometimes when we are at a cafe I forget for one sec that I am here. Then we step out on the street and reality catches me. I love it and feel relieved every time I get out of the hotel. All these people ...

... other aspects of Indian culture. Rishikesh is actually the name by which a few small towns are collectively known; I chose to spend my first few days in Lakshman Jhula. A general ambiance of health surrounds this place, no alcohol on sale (unless you know the right people..), only vegetarian food and almost everyone improving body or mind. With nobody really trying to sell you anything in the streets and no rickshaws(!), it would have been an easy place to while ...
