... 1000 rupees plus another 200 in a small private temple later. I imagine western tourists are good payers as we saw the priest having a chinwag on his I-phone a little later on. The ceremony is fairly short but spectacular with fire brandishing priests and a sort of audience chant participation which Issy thought was a great Mexican wave. The river was alight by all the floating candles as many other pilgrims also made their wishes to Ganga.<br><br>

... went down the hatch. The cows are considered holy in India...but I don't think they get much respect or love for that matter. In Pushkar I saw a cow limping around on a broken leg (motor vehicle accident, I am sure). I also saw a cow with a dislocated jaw and fresh blood pouring from its face. Another victim of some crazy driver, I am sure. In Jaisalmer I saw a dish of rotting slop put out for a cow that was wandering the streets. I've also seen them being hit with ...

This was a very realistic view that we would not want to deny, but we were happy that we had taken the time to originally drive right through the center of towns and villages where the commerce and people are thriving! We did take time to stop in these places for a break and interact with locals ...

... twigs. Everything around me seemed to 'Jungleize' by about 25%, and I could start using the word tropical in the correct context. Things heated up as we decended from about 2200m to 360m above sea level and great stretches of some unknown crop - maybe suger cane, took up my immidiate views and jungle obscured the event horizon. I really felt like I had hit somewhere else, like I was hitting a new country or continent, perhaps the change wasn't that dramatic but I ...

Shattered Ego

... asked about my impressions of India, Obama and the usual familial questions. Indian society is very family-oriented and it surprises them when someone is travelling alone. "Why is your wife not with you?", they would ask. When I explain I am a bachelor and enjoy my bachelorhood they seem to understand and accept though still at my age they are puzzled. I should be married by now.<br><br> <br><br> Ravi and Rakesh helped me with my luggage on board the train and located ...

No, it was more like a chance to visit Willy Wonkers chocolate factory, but instead of Willy, our host was Bob and instead of a world of gobstoppers and bubblegum we were introduced to a quirky, alternative world of higher bodies, self-healing and potential enlightenment ...

I removed my shoes and found a good spot to sit on the steps and watch the ceremony unfold. When the sun set bells began to ring from all directions in a harmonized rhythm and torches resting near the river burned freely. Many worshippers carried leaf bowls containing flower petals, incense, and a candle which was lit as the bowl was rhythmically waved in ...

About half way through our meal a man in his late twenties came and sat next to us and we chatted for the rest the time. He was originally from Croatia, but had lived in Germany for the past 7 years and was on a trip all over Asia. He plans on going to California in a few months after he finishes his yoga training and goes to China, so we had fun telling him about where he should go, what gas ...
