teaching a giving life I aspire to lead,
this is the journey I will be embarking for the next 2 weeks.
And
I
am
excited,
very excited.
very excited.
In another few minutes, I will be leaving for the airport to catch my 0230 hrs flight to Delhi . In the course of the next 14 days, I will be travelling through the vast Rajasthani deserts, chugging along ancient pilgrimage route and dunking myself in the sacred River Ganges. Yes! THE Mother Ganga! THE Very Source Of Life!
It is unlikely that I will be on the world wide web while experiencing these wonders of Mother Nature. I will miss you all and although I cannot bring each and everyone of you along, I hope you can at least join me on another wonderful trip around our human planet. O yes, don't miss my twig ladder and about a thousand or more of my fishing traps in the video which should really be watched full screen.

I have watched it many times and I still get the goose bumps each time.
And till I am back from India, my friends,
namaste!

I am sure you'll be having a wonderful experience. I have been there a few years ago. It was so impressive that I still remember every bit of the way. Enjoy and come back to us inspired.

Sans- I have been thinking about you on your adventure- I can hardly wait for you to return and tell us all about it!!! I hope you are having the time of your life :)
Sans!!! You are going to India? YAY!!
I went to the museum of childhood and took some photos for you but they are a bit blurry :-(
I will still send them once I know you are back!
Namaste!
Hey you I've missed you I am so behind.
I am sure oyu are having the most wonderful time though and you know I am so envious.
Can't wait to see what you got up to when you return...I am off next week for 3 weeks but we'll catch up then xxx
Drora :):) I am home :):). So much has happened since I was gone :) but I am finally having some breathing space to reply to all my dear friends :).
I love very many aspects of the Indian culture and because of that I can love India for all its quirks. It is hardly a cosy or easy country. Someone told me, if you can travel in India , you can travel anywhere. Haha! Truth is I am more comfortable in India than I was in parts of Africa :). I will share more of my adventure soon.
Victoria, I did have a wonderful trip. Thank you for your good wishes! :)
Ewa, it was peaceful and in many ways, very new to me. I am back and trying not be sucked back to the very bad habits and the old ways that I had grown accustomed to but were not doing me any good. :)
I am already looking forward to my next ashram experience.
Natalia, its lunchtime again in Singapore :):) !
I was looking at my India pictures with my friends last night. There is a special picture I took just for you. :) You must come back here when I make the post on Maharajah India to see that pic ok?
Muchas gracias , May! Estoy tan conmovido que pensó en mÃ:)
Ascensión Namaste!
He recibido su correo electrónico de Japón. Gracias, mi dulce amigo y querido. Como puedes ver, estoy muy seguro:). Ya sabes, me enteré de Japón sólo dos dÃas después del tsunami ocurrido Estamos muy aislados en las montañas en el ashram. No hay televisión, ni periódicos, ni radio. Estaba ajeno a todo lo que estaba sucediendo en el mundo, pero también significaba que yo era apacible:).
Le mostrará imágenes pronto:).
Amor, besos y abrazos
Natalia, I did a bit of stitching in India :). Stupidly, I took the sewing box to the plane so now I am without scissors and even needles! I have forgotten that they were prohibited on the plane when I came back. So now I am without my favourite sewing scissors :(. The gain is my dad just bought me a pair of beautiful Victorian embroidery scissors so as they say, you gain some, you lose some :)
Katie, hope you are reading this reply because I had to tell you I received that lovely lovely birdhouse on 18/3/2011! It was sitting on my desk when I came in to work that day. :). Must have arrived early.
Seriously, the birdhouse is perfectly made. I love it so much! This morning, I have found a place for it at the tribal house. We will see if it is to be permanently there :)
Thank you, Lataina! I sure did!
Susanne, my friends and I are already planning to visit India again this August! hahaha :)
Eva, it was all play and no work :)!
Contar, I will make my posts over this weekend :). My friends and I had a good laugh last night when we saw them :).
Jollie, because of this trip, I have deepened my friendships with 2 girls I have known since I was 18 ;). I also found some answers that have been plaguing me for a few years now. I think it's the chance to be quiet , meditative and mindful. I am really glad I did this trip :).
Ara :):):) How's the little one?
The ashram was a yoga retreat and because it taught me to focus and concentrate so well, I have been bugging my sis to let her 10 year old girl join yoga classes :):) so that she too cna learn how to focus and concentrate. My niece really has an attention span of a 5 year old still :). I will tell you more soon :)
Maria Luisa :)hola hola!
Tuve un gran tiempo, pero quizá no en Delhi! :):)
India no es un paÃs fácil. HabÃa muchos estafadores y yo estaba engañado tres veces en una fila .. jajaja! :) pero cuando fui a las montañas del Himalaya en el ashram fue, cada uno fue directo y tuve que lidiar con gente honesta. Yo estaba agradecido:). Te diré más pronto:)
Birgit, I don't think I will ever be tired of that clip. And guess what? When I was in India, I saw many many many of the life size ladders that looked like the mini one I made! :):)
My dear Betsy, I think you, in particular, will enjoy the ashram experience. Being so close to nature, spending hours on meditation and yoga every day , having vegetarian meals ...hmm, which may be a problem..
Do you like Indian food? The ashram I went to used loads of beans and potatoes so I worry all the time about gas during yoga or worse, when we are quietly meditating ..lol!
I am back Piiko. I will really love to read about what all of you have been up to during my time in India :):). Soon!
Ana, I did and I told my friends about how I may be visiting Portugal and Spain soon :)
Grace, it's pretty surreal that I got to stay in the very palace where that hall was. It is really mind blowing and absolutely gorgeous . I will show you pictures soon!
Cindy, it's been 2 weekends and I am back already :):) Soooooooo happy to be home !
*waving at Kikka :):)
Marion, you can do anything you want :) including visiting India with me. I am planning a craft trip to India next year. This is a trip I will love to make together with anyone of you because it is doing what we love. Embroidery, block printing, silver smithing etc etc.
Let me know if you want more details :):).
Kathy O-O :):)
Honeyyyyyyyyy I'm Home!!!!!!!
Norma, :):) Thank you for being here :).
Ani, this trip may very well be a life changing experience :).
Kim, I read your email before I left and felt really heartened ! It's amazing how much we have bonded over this short time :).
I am very eager to share what I did in India with you :):).
Patricia !!!!!!!! Museum of Childhood? Yay! I went to the Craft Museum in Delhi and saw the most amazing exhibit of an Indian market scene in 1:12. Sadly I was not allowed to take pictures :(:(
I can't wait to see those pics you took! Quickie quick quick , send me :):)
Jayne, you have been greatly missed. Guess what magazine I bought when I was in Delhi ? Elle Decor India of course ! LOL
Loan it to my sis without reading it 1st so I don't even know what's in there.
Now that you are back, don't go away for too long again.
*GLOMP*
WELCOME BACK!!! ^ ^ i have been checking in time and again to see if you have been free enough to update! WHEN IS OUR NEXT MEET OMG!! XD
Cindy, I have the kiddies (nieces and nephew) coming over to stay this weekend but I want to do one this month !! Howzzzzzz???
Email you soon :).
I am glad to hear you are safe and sound and now at home. Cindy told me you were away.
I look forward to seeing the pictures from your latest travels. :)
As you may have read by now, I fear my narration my end up being epic-sodal. Teehee
Thank you for posting the lovely photos from your travels. Wonderful!
Minka, the ones in this post are not mine :):). I did this post before I left . But if you have seen the ones I posted later in late March and April and you still like them, then I am very flattered because after seeing Claude Renault's work on the blog you recommended, I know mine pale in every way :):):)
