Looking for 'something to do' on a very low budget...intrigued my the idea of being silent and having read Holy Cow I signed myself up to a 10 day Vipassana course. I believed it must be fate when the first course I tried for didn't go ahead. Then an e-mail confirming my attendance would be most welcome in Kolkata made me physically scream and laugh at what I was getting myself into.
I developed a cold, completely lost my voice and was told ...

... or hate it is something to be experienced once in life!

A quick round up of what we have done includes Kolkata..where a new experience awaits you down every street, Hyderabad...which was another big, loud city with some beautiful biriyani, Bidar which was a bit of dust bowl and where I begun to detest Indian men who just stared and stared and wanted to put their arms around me and take photos...too much!...but the town did have a lovely old fort ...

Those who read about our adventures in getting to Darjeeling, you must agree travel Karma owed us. We didn't expect it to happen so soon, but luckily it did. We checked out of our hotel just 2 mins before a share taxi picked us up for the ride down the mountain. The drive from Darjeeling to the plains of northern India is pretty intnse.

Shiva's consort/wife goes by many names Parvathi/Durga/Kali and Kolkata is a major Durga/Kali (angry version) worshipping city. Shiva's children are Ganesha (protector from obstacles), Lakshmi (goddess of wealth), Saraswati ...

Cheers everyone! First off, some wonderful news. My brother and sister-in-law just found out that they're having a boy in March. So the Eggener name will live on!! They've decided to name him Jared Drew. I've already expressed to them that when I hear that name I immediately think of Subway Jared. Please feel free to send any suggestions of names my way and I'll pass on the ones I like to them :) Congrats ...

... you, and you have watched me show up here, in front of you with no means of transport other than this vhan, therefore, I must have come here by means of this vhan." People would blink their eyes over and over again, attempting or wanting to understand this concept, but they somehow often appeared unable to understand and unable to believe it. Sometimes I was able to watch a mans face as he came to the moment of understanding of this ridiculous ...
