And then I got high, and then I got high...

Greetings from 2,050m above sea level.
Well it is now day 5 with the boys and other than sharing, beds, drinks, seats and loads of other things together this trip is turning out to be quite good. And yes I have stop shitting across india, though it looks like Govin has picked up the batten on this one.
Let see, how do I describe Amritsar,
Seeing the Golden temple reflect of the lake was calming and peaceful.
Standing in the land of my forefathers was enlightening.
And having a cup of cha in a dhaba in the middle of nowhere was just amazing...
McLeod Ganj was quite chilled, literally for as we just arrived it was pouring rain,
so me and Ravi did the only thing we could do then, proceed to the hotel bar to have a couple of shots. Once the rain stopped and we were errr a bit more chilled (ahem as the temperature dropped of course) we just walked around the streets and was taken aback with the breath taking scenary. Next morning we packed up and moved to Manali. Although we had to amend the plans from taking the toy train due to Govin's unhappy tummy, the van ride was great.
Todays plans are to just walk around and absorb the sights and sounds and chill ;)
On that note, I shall sigh out now...
~Peace to all~

Shitting all across India...

Oh yeah, as someone so adequately put it,
I'm going to Delhi with a Delhi tummy...
Tho I did enjoy the 17hrs or so train journey,
the view from the toilet in A2 class was excellent.
I know a certain person would be all smiles now
whilst shouting at the computer screen;
See, see I told you soo ;)
Anyways all is good, the purge has reduce from hourly to 4 hrsly to now about 8hrs...
And hopefully by the time I leave with the boys, it would be totally over and done with,
For it would only be fair that I get the Delhi tummy as I come here
and be done with it as I leave here
let the adventure begin...

Good bye Nareshwadi, Good bye Mumbai

Hello Delhi...

Yup the volunteer program has ended...
Hmmm im trying desperately to articulate my feelings about leaving here
This uneasy feeling i have as i say good bye to this place ive called home for the pass 3 months
For its been a bitter sweet experience
From the first going through the mad heat wave of Nareshwadi
To seeing the first droplets of rain on a hungry ground
From observing in Mumbai the blanten poverty all around
To seeing the hope of a better tomorrow by NGO programmes.
To loosing my fav mobile phone...to realizing Nokia has got some decent phones after all ;)
Well Iwill have to just rearticulate a saying an Aussy gal told me
Mumbai mere jaan, It hurts so much that you must just love it...
On that note,
alvida mumbai mera jaan...may i paths cross again soon
