comments?

for those who have sent us emails saying you want to make comments but can't, i just tested it out and anyone, even if you don't have an account with blogger or google, can make comments. note the comment under the entry daily routine, by anonymous... shhhhhhh... that was me! don't tell nisarga!

he's actually in another vipassana in case you are wondering. we finished the gurdjieff workshop on the 29th and he decided the best thing for him would be to go deeper into himself and to be alone with himself. so i headed back to delhi, and he went in for his second vipassana (yes, another 10 days sitting observing his breath and inner deamons).

i came to delhi to observe my inner deamons and patterns in the hussle and bussle of the city. this city has graciously (i'm being diplomatic) been my home for almost the last 5 years and when i left at the beginning of the year i had no idea i would not be coming back to delhi as a resident. there are the practical things to take care of like putting my personal belongings in boxes and suitcases and storing them away, and the emotional closure that i feel i need, with places, routines, people, myself. i have been quitely avoiding doing this, and this resistance shows me that there is a lot of letting go that can happen for me through the mundane process of packing up and saying good-bye... definitely an opportunity to grow and become lighter.

nisarga gets out of vipassana on the 12th and i will meet him back in mcleodganj then; the goal is that when i board the bus for the north again i will have officially and finally given up my apartment, put my things in storage, and can proudly (sprinkled with a hardy dose of fear) say "i no longer have a base!" (refer to blog entry on "stuff" if you need to understand/ remember this better).

don't get me wrong... i'm also having lots of fun while i'm here. francois prepared a light brunch on the first day served with french wine! he even saved french sausage and cheese for me this whole time i've been up north. what a darling. yesterday i went jogging around the park next door, the most beautiful and largest park in all of south delhi: deer park. i had a sinful brunch with my friends dharma and ananthy at a restaurant called chocolat... need i say more?!?!?! then my friend sandra hosted a dinner where i saw more friends, wanny and kuku. sandra and i stayed up late into the night gossiping and catching up. this morning i went to the beauty parlor. this evening my dear friend anita is taking me to the yummiest muslim restaurant in delhi... which is in old delhi in fact, karim's. (did i mention? i went 2 months without eating any animals! i'm definitely ready for some serious meat eating)

what? packing? what packing? oh yeah... that! right! exactly. gotta go!!!

more soon...
