My birthday in Delhi, March 8, 2006
I am really looking forward to relaxing in the sun on Ajay's marble terrace in Delhi ... again ...Hello all,
I am getting ready to travel to India for the second time. This time a short trip, to North India only -- 3 1/2 weeks in Delhi, Rishikesh and Puskhar for the world-famous Pushkar Camel Fair. In Delhi I will be celebrating Diwali and attending a really big Hindu wedding with Ajay and his family. In Rishikesh, I will be visiting my yoga teacher, Yogi Vishvketu, and seeing his brand-new ashram.
I will be leaving on November 4 and returning home on November 28, after a very short stop in Amsterdam. So, leaving in about three weeks. It's a lot different than last time I left for India, almost two years ago -- so much less planning and excitement. This time, all I've done is buy the air ticket and send for the VISA.
Last time, I was packing everything up and heading out to an unknown place on a great adventure. This time, I feel I am returning to my second home and my Indian family. It's a completely different feeling, a completely different adventure. And it feels great!
So, if you wish to join me for India, round two, please stay subscribed. Otherwise, you can unsubscribe at any time.
P.S. I also have plans to return to India this winter for an extended trip that will include going to a whole bunch of places I didn't get to last time, such as Mumbai (Bombay), Calcutta, Darjeeling, Varanasi, the caves at Ellora and Ajanta and the temple carvings of Khujaraho.
