Finally snuck away to come upstairs and type up a note. Just got hooked up and online and all systems go and Manu, Nakul's little niece came up with her little bag of presents i gave her this morning and wanted to file my nails. So i just had to take a little break and let her file mine, and then file hers for her.
OH! I guess i didn't say yet.... my bag arrived on my doorsteps a day and a half ago so now i have shoes and books and clothes and a zillion other things i had completely forgotten. It wasn't a big bag but it sure was stuffed to busting. So last night i was finally able to give out some of the small things i had brought for everyone. Manu was in bed when we did this so this morning early we get a knock on her door from her and so I went downstairs and gave her her gifts. She was so tickled. She is six. A kinder egg, sparkly nail polish and a sparkly new glass nail file. So ya, she came up to have a little manicure session just a second ago. Fun.
So, yesterday we went on a picnic with 15 people, including us, close family and friends, to a beach 25kms from here where there is a cave called Vasisth cave, named after the yogi ascetic who live there and practiced sadhana for many years solitarily. I had been to the cave before, and even written about it here, i believe, on my first trip to India. The cave has incredible vibrations. One can sit in meditation effortlessly in there and time stands still. Anyhow, we were 12 people, 3 kids, 6 bikes/scooters and several bags of foodstuffs to prepare rice, vegetables, mutter paneer papad and pakoras riverside on three fires. What a fabulous day! We have pictures. I will post as soon as possible. We came home around 4, I took a quick cat nap, then chai, then Nakul went to the shop with his friend who was visiting for the day and I went up to my room and turned on Bjork’s debut album and danced hard to get my energy up. Good one.
