... house in Rishikesh. He had dreadlocks that he wore in a bun on the top of his head, and appeared very sadhu-ish. It was very late and most of the shops were closed, but Shiva invited us to come over and look at his necklaces. After we did, we turned to go away and he invited us into his house to hang out. Very cautiously we accepted and it turned out to be a good decision. His house/shop was just two rooms: a room with all of his merchandise facing the road, and a Christmas ...

... It is not simple to actually DO with a neophyte's mind and lifelong emotional patterns jumping all over the place. You end up seeing just how out of control your mind is while observing your body sensations to whatever degree you are able. By the time I left the course, though, I had a bit of a handle on it, and my commitment in place to use it, with some real rigor. So I survived, my ten days of 4 AM wake up calls, and 4:30 AM - 9 PM meditations (10 hours a day for 10 days ...

We arrived in Rishikesh around 5:30 in the evening after a 7 hour dusty ride over bone-jarring roads. It's always interesting to figure out where to put our luggage on buses in India because most of the public buses do not have storage compartments. This was the first time our bags ended up on the roof. Getting the bags up there involved the use of a porter who used his head, literally, to transport our bags. Getting the bags down was ...

... way to Delhi - already a week later than Anna-Rose, Bob and Kuhn - confident that whatever could be done, had been done and that her destiny was now in the hands of Shiva or Brahma or whichever god was given the specific duty of looking over the dogs of India. And for encouragement, I remembered the surgeon's astonishment, as his scalpel revealed the true extent of the infection, that she was alive at all. "This dog should have died long ago" he said, "she must really want to live!"

... of rafting lies.   The rafting was a fun as always, with our guide successfully maneuvering the rapids, and keeping us afloat. The body surfing on the rapids was something to look forward for my future trips also. We reached the camp at lunch time; I was to go on with the next group on the next stretch about which I had heard stories of raft getting flipped. After lunch when we all assembled with a new group for rafting, I found ...

... was the other guys' fault, we sped back to the hotel. That was the second time we've been in a small collision, and the fourth I witnessed. The first was on the way from Delhi when a motorcyclist tried to pass the bus on the shoulder, wiped out, shook his head, and got back on. The second was in Dehradun when a girl driving a scooter ran into the back wheel of another scooter ...
