... without any luck. It was dark and there were a pack of dogs ahead which were fighting amongst themselves. I crossed the road but one of the dogs decided to follow me and the rest decided to follow him... The one following me seemed quite friendly but the others were pretty unruly and intimidating. I seeked some shelter at a small roadside stall and the worker saw my pridicament and ran out with a big stick to chase them ...

... a feeling of being stretched and aligned - with a hint of ache was felt. <br><br>The next day we made a journey to our first Ghudwara (Sikh temple). It was set in Rishikesh surrounded by outstanding scenery, with mountains as a backdrop. It was difficult to communicate, as our hindi/punjabi is minimal and tended to cause laughter. The Ghudwara was a special experience, and the greeting of satsrikalji always brought smiles in return. That night we also visited ...

... I ultimately decided that I would bring my bag in the taxi to deliver the tickets and expect to feel well enough to get on the train and then just get up to Rishikesh and give myself a day or two to get better away from the busy parts of India.<br><br>I wasn't feeling great, but the pills I had taken were enough to allow me to get on the train, and I easily found the two other volunteers when I got to the New Delhi railway station. We had booked the train ...

... customer satisfaction would be through the roof! We once had a discussion about what we'd wish for if we had one wish that was guaranteed to be granted. As we went around the table, we got the usual rubbish 'loadsa money/ loadsa babes/open a coffee shop/travel, like, forever maaan!'. Coming to Yuga, he quietly informed us that he wished that once a month, for just one hour, everyone on Earth would stop talking and would sit and think. This sums the man up - and I approve ...

... it out with Barbara and it was great! Shame that's its so run down now, it's in some sort of dispute or something. It really was nice though. They had these meditation caves that were nice and cool inside, heaps of trees and flowers... I found this one room that just had stacks of papers everywhere, some as old as 1979.<br><br>We decided to go dip our feet in the Ganga (Ganges river), nearby, it's very clean up here, don't worry.<br><br>Later, I headed back to town where I bumped into ...

... he was on his way to his school and would show us to his choice of office. So we followed but thankfully nothing bad happened as we refused to enter into any tour deals with the office, we in fact got a free map out of it - good times! Once me and Becky had built us some knowledge of the streets (only after we nearly fell for another scam from a teenager just practicing his English), we took my first Rickshaw ride to Old Delhi and to the ...

... prayer' and Shiva being the third aspect in the Hindu trinity - Brahma, the creator, Vishnu, the preserver, Shiva, the destroyer). This experience involved a symbolic fire ceremony where people were invited to throw what looked puffed rice into a fire pit as a symbolic destruction of the ego and negative energy and was followed by chanting &amp; dancing. I had the good fortune to be seated next to an Australian gentleman who ...
