making more money in India

Hey!
did my first paid massage yesterday.
Nakul does ayurvedic massage and occasionally gets a female client who would prefer a female massage therapist. So I volunteered. What the hey.
I was a little uncertain at first, about committing to that but decided to dive in.
We had two friends last night come, Australians, one boy and one girl, looking for a massage at the same time.
We only have one room, so we decided that we would partition the room into 2 using saris. It worked fabulously and i have to say it was fun giving two massages at the same time in the same space.
It was very personally rewarding as well. Satisfying to just give loving touch to another human being on this planet.
Afterwards when we went outside to let them get dressed, i could overhear her telling her friend that that was the best hour of her life and a hundred times better than the last two massages she had. It was so so cool. I was on a high for about an hour afterwards.
Sure, it only pays $8 an hour (which, by the way, is about 4 times what the average Indian earns for a full day of work somewhere else) but i wasn't doing it for the money.
Hmmmm. Interesting, very interesting.
