Puja
Paa andendagen i Haridwar var bedringen saa markant, at det atter var tid til oplevelser. Haridwar er (endnu) et helligt sted i hinduismen. Det er her, den hellige flod Ganges kommer ned fra Himalayabjergene og begynder sit loeb tvaers henover Indien – og det skal fejres. Dagligt. Hver aften er der en storstilet puja (hinduistisk offerceremoni) ved solnedgang, som foregaar ved en lille specialdesignet minihavn, hvor noget af Ganges bliver kanaliseret ...

... with Kanwarias going back home…not tickets necessary, no one would check on them. The festival last about 15 days.

The story behind it -
‘Legend has it that at the time of ‘samudra manthan’ (turning of the seas upside-down) both ambrosia and poison surfaced. While many gods and goddesses eagerly tasted amrit, no one wanted to have poison. Yet, consuming poison was crucial or else it would have caused enormous destruction had it touched ...

... to me and had her feet against my leg. One of their children was fidgeting and being restless for the entire remaining 6 hours of the journey. They would speak loudly (almost at the point of shouting) practially in my ear and I thankfully had my iPOD to turn to. Some man had been crawling around using his shirt to clean the cabin floor. He pushed at my leg (remember what I said about touching?) and I turned to him already feeling quite cranky. He held out his hand for ...

... that have occurred here in the town in the past few years. Also spent some time browsing a bookshop (where I was mercilessly ripped off), and sitting drinking coffee in a high house over the footbridge and river. The days in Rishikesh have been largely blurring into one another and so I remember little else of note from this largely uneventful day. Apologies for the lack of riveting anecdotes.

... wear beneath the wetsuit. ****. Turtles head. Panic breaths, start to vocalise my frustration as I finally manage to rip off the other wrist and drag down the wetsuit around my shins, undo my ****ing shorts (why oh why did I tie the knot of the drawstring???), and notice where I have already messed those, bend, make sure clothes are at an angle to my ********. Brown. I produce fudge cake, rum sauce, a right mess, but it is the greatest feeling ever. Release. Joy. Now ...

Our mad dash from Northern Pakistan into India to meet my sister Bob (Ella), involved a day in Islamabad to collect our passports with the new Indian visas installed, a night in Lahore, an evening watching the flag lowering ceremony at the border - which has become a huge attraction for excitable Indians on one side and Pakistanis on the other as the soldiers do their absolute best to outdo each other with a bizarre show of pomp and preposterousness ...

... Contrasting with the significance of the town is the relative lack of Western visitors making for a more genuine "India" experience. I dropped off my stuff at a dingy hotel and started walking down the main street through the crowds and dodgy food stands that seem to characterise every Indian city. I was surprised by the lack of hassle and "come see my shop" encounters I had grown so used to. That evening I made my way to the main ghat, or bathing area, by the ...

... have been any little healthy food restaurant in California with its bamboo interior, incense, chill music, and comfy chairs. On Sunday morning Adam and I got up early for a 7 AM yoga class in a small studio that looked out over the Ganga. Adam, Carry, and Ty had taken a yoga class the night before at a different studio and said how relaxing it was. Our class was the exact opposite of relaxing. I was dripping with sweat within the first five minutes and continued for the next ...
