About Us

traveling around, India
sanyasins, seekers, travellers, companions,life lovers...

thank you for joining us on these journeys...

internal, external, individual, shared, in place, in movement, with friends, with family, with lovers, with strangers, with soul mates, with teachers, with guides, in body, in formlessness, through fire and heat, with rains and oceans, with breezes and storms, under the stars and the moon and the sun and the planets, with dust and dirt and mud, with flowers and butterflies, with arousing smells, in mind, in the heart, in the soul, in spirit, in this life time, in past life times, through time, in timelessness, in laughter, in tears, with screams of joy fear and pain, in silence, linear, clear, vague, zigzag, full of curves, with tons of detours, with a purpose, without a destination...

CooCoo's Kisses

Nisarga has gone to an acupuncturist before, and has experienced great results. So he decided to go again, to speed up the healing process for his leg and ankle, for his psoriasis, and for the lump by his ear. This CooCoo guy was at the Osho commune for a few years back in the ‘80s and now has his place in Goa close enough to Akash’s. Nisarga decided to give it a shot. I said sure, why not, i’ll go too. I had never been to any “faith healers” as Akash puts it, and although acupuncture has now become pretty main stream in many places, i would still categorize CooCoo as a faith healer

He diagnoses you largely by reading your pulse. Then there is a technique where his assistants poke a bunch of holes on you with a needle, based on where he says to poke, and then a suction cup is placed around there and the blood is drawn. Maybe it’s my public health background but this reminded me of a modern version of leeches. The longer the marks last the more toxins that were there to be taken out. Mine lasted over a week. Guess i was in pretty bad shape.
