"What may matter not, at the end of the day, is how many conversations you had, how many friends you made, how many places you visited.... ....sometimes, things that do not matter are fun. " Sometimes, you just want to break free. It's not that difficult too. Sometimes. Had had enough of staying put in Gurgaon, the king of concrete cities as far as I know, and so, not anymore delayed for want of company, decided to head out to the Himachal lands for a weekend. Day 1 An overnight train to Pathankot, with time spent on the floor of the train for want of ticket confirmation, and a couple of hours whiled away at the sleepy little station, brought upon the time of departure of the Kangra Valley train journey. One of the more beautiful ... read more

Noch Rishikesh 5.-9. Juni Nach meinem Gangotrisabenteuer hab ich mich in Rishikesh erst mal ein paar Tage erholt. Ich hatte auch mal wieder keine echte Idee wo es als naechstes hingeht aber in Rishikesh gibt es genug Reisende um sich Tipps geben zu lassen. Jedenfalls faellt meine Entscheidung schnell auf Dharamshala. Dem Exil des Dalai Lama und Heimat vieler Tibetischer Fluechtlinge. Normalerweise bin ich ja immer mit Local Busses unterwegs aber dieses Mal bin ich einfach zu faul und zu bequem und ich goenne mir den viel teuereren Tourist Bus der auch direkt faehrt. Letzenendes ist der Bus so richtig frech unbequem fuer das Geld das man bezahlt aber ich treff im Bus soviele tolle Leute mit denen ich in Dharamshala auch weiter etwas unternehme, dass es nicht haette besser laufen koennen. Die Busfahrt ist trotzdem ... read more

We reached Galu Devi Temple(from here you can see distant hills with waterfalls), our first stop amidst lot of laughter and fun. Resting there for 10 minute, we again started our ... read more

Spent the last week in McLeod Ganj, Upper Dharamsala. McLeod Ganj was a mountain station during the British Raj, named after the assistant governor of neighboring Punjab state. Teachings with His Holiness were amazing, but for security purposes no camera allowed. I spent last Sunday composing an update here, only to have it vapourize into cyberspace upon saving. I'm in Bodhgaya now, and just wanted to post something here while I had the chance, and the few photos I was able to take there. I posted explanitive comment on some of them rather than elaborate in this blog post due to shortness of time. Further posts may not occur until after the 10. January when the Kalachakra teachings conclude.... read more
