tech break down

i'm a little disappointed again as i tried to download pics from my camera and i can't. the computer doesnt have a program for that. i hope this isn't going to be an ongoing issue. perhaps i will have to figure out how to download a program onto a given computer that will handle my camera. when i first got to chennai, that first night i had a computer in my room and that was the only one where it worked. so if any of you technophiles out there have any suggestions....i'm all ears.

me and madras at the Regent Park after about 23 hours travelling from canada

footage from my first night in Chennai (i prefer the name "Madras" but they changed it to Chennai, i don't know why. Madras suites it so much better, and sounds better. i think that madras is reminiscent of the seaside fishing village it probably once was, while Chennai reflects its more modern identity with business and technology. needless to say, i got no sleep during my first night here.... as you can see from the dazed look in my eyes

crazy technology!!!
never thought i would be so technologically advanced in my correspondence. Big change from those first letters i sent from France, back in the early nineties!!

we all headed up river to a couple significant sacred spots. One of them was this cave here, where this picture was taken. Traditionally many sages and saints secluded themselves in caves in the Himalayas to meditate undisturbed. The cave stays warm and dry all year round. (cool in summer). It is a nice cave with very nice vibrations, due to the occupants continuous meditation there over the years and attainment of samadhi, the ultimate and final state of peaceful self-realization. Beautiful energy there.
