... built around the central temple, all of which is about the size of a tennis court. <br><br>I like visiting that temple, and others, particularly when I have prints to give out. During Diwali I got a batch of 75 pictures printed and wandered around handing them out to the people in them. Reactions ranged from bemused to delighted, and curios passersby were highly entertained as well. In Shivajinagar shopkeepers and traders were happy with the unexpected ...

... really cool people at the party....very interestingly I met one of my best friend (Mahanth's) Cousin Vikram.....which was completley wild as I have never met him before....and he randomly came to this party....even more crazy, he grew up in bombay and so i told him that I have cousins in Bandra west (a neighborhood there) and he said "Oh yeah you mean the twins Karthik and Krathika". I was completely shocked....he knew them growing up and used to go to ...

... week winds to a close at ACA, I have no regrets about making the journey here. I've met dozens of friendly new folks, engaged in dialogues about India's history and culture, enjoyed the spicy cuisine and felt a genuine bond growing with some of the boys living here. Most of all, I have appreciated being taken out of my comfort zone in Dallas and being brought to concentrate more on the foundation blocks of one's life: friendship, fellowship and focus on our Lord and creator.

... of &#8216;I&#8217;lessness I felt one with everyone and became aware of everything.&#8221; I&#8217;m a little alarmed to learn that the fakir brought Rajesh to this epiphany by knocking him unconscious. <br><br>But the way Rajesh recalls this early and profound experience it&#8217;s clear he doesn&#8217;t feel abused by the fakir. He believes the older man saw the latent potential inside him and nurtured it. &#8220;I would say I was a biological freak,&#8221; he smiles ...

For almost two months we were contemplating on visiting Maha Lakshmi Golden Temple at Sripuram near Vellore and finally the plans seemed to materialize during last week of May 2009. My brother-in-law Siva wanted to take his new Swift Dezire to Golden Temple and we decided to go there on a two day trip. We decided on taking two cars &#8211; our Santro and Siva&#8217;s Dezire as Siva&#8217;s friend Ravindran also joined in with his family. <br><br>Family 1 : Vathsalya Lakshmi ...

Its been a while since I wrote anything here so I will try to update it. Today is a very special day for two reasons: a) it is our last day in Bangalore, we leave tonight and b) it is Gandi's birthday. Our first day with our host families is a holiday and so is our last, how cool is that? I just returned from temple with my family. They prayed to each god, lit some candles, and gave a few offerings. It wasnt a fancy temple ...

... straight, then right. So did he. Finally I turned around and asked him assertively what the hell he was doing and told him to get lost. He still followed me, keeping his distance except for when I went to the bathroom and I came out in time to find he had made a bee line to try to meet me in there or something. He finally left me alone after I engaged in a friendly chat with the police force at the gates of the park... Now, sadly, this isn't the first time I have ...

... there arm around each other, and are hugging. Women do the same as well. But to me it was so shocking to see males so affectionate with each other, and not knowing that this was a social norm I asked one of my advisers if they were gay. She said no, but explained to me that this is something considered very very normal and part of the culture. No one questions their sexuality. There is great homophobia in this country, and anti-sodomy laws, but ...

... the bravest women I had ever met. A few days later as I was waiting for my banana porridge to arrive, a young group came in and sat at the table next to mine. Each one seemed to be from a different country. American, British, German, Asian, French, Australian. I wondered what would bring such a dynamic group together - I assumed they volunteered for an NGO. I thought about starting up a conversation, until I looked over and the entire table was cleaning between the tines of ...
