... 10 gurus, which came up with the whole idea of Sikhism. Sikhs beliefs are very appealing to me - the belief in family life and the value of hard work. Guru Nanak (1469–1539), the founder of Sikhism, appointed his most talented disciple to be his successor, not one of his sons - which seems to me quite revolutionary for that time.

They have a great menu of Indian dishes. We are loving the food; spicy and exotic as it is ...

... ride), so wemt back to the van and then drove back to Amritsar. All of us were pretty hungry, so we found the only restaurant that didn't have a waiting list due to the holiday weekend and ate there. We tried to find a bar to go to and asked a cop where we could find one around here. He thought for a few minutes, said something to a richskaw driver, and the next thing we knew, we were at a "bar" aka a guest house where they owner would sell us beer at twice the normal ...

... mismoodi nad seda teevad ja kuhu juuksed pannakse.<br>Minu ümber koguneb järjest rohkem noormehi, kes küll nime küsimisest eriti palju rohkem inglise keelt ei oska. Paar tükki oma arust ka oskab, aga mina jälle nende indian englishist suurt midagi aru ei saa.

When I tried to do some meditation (tying to be a good yoga student!!) I heard some yelling. "HELLO! HELLO! HELLO!!! You are doing it wrong. If you want to be doing meditating, you have to be doing meditating right way!!" Apparently, I was holding my hands in the incorrect position. He was an amusing travel companion, and better ...

... was completely unrestricted and we were allowed to see every aspect of the cooking process and were even asked if we wished to stir the pots or make chapatis. It would have been foolhardy not to have tried the food and so we sat down in line with hundreds of Indians and waited for our plates to be filled with rice, Dal and vegetable curry. Having spent so much time in southern India I ignored the spoon supplied and went to work with my hands ...
