Above – Another pose (Vrksasana – Tree Post) near the top of the hill.
Below – My post wouldn’t be complete without including some of the pretty flowers in bloom.
These were teeny tiny buds. They looked like little tomatoes, about a half inch in diameter.
Also very small …
Even smaller …
Large!
Tiny, but lots of them …
These two little ones were playing cricket next to the big boy field.
Dead center here is a small squirrel.
Cadets.
Here’s a before and after photo. Below, these students were crowded together looking at their cell phones and talking.
Here’s the result when they saw I was taking their photo.
I love this mailbox. It’s very old, set in concrete with a padlock on it, and although it’s a relic, it appears to still be in use.
Leaving the campus there is still a lot of greenery.
Oh, these two guards (Pune version of rent-a-cop) were characters. They were very happy to see us and stopped to talk to us, asked us where we’re from and other small talk. They also had no problem posing for a photo.
This is the back side of the Electronics Science Lecture Hall. When I first saw it I thought it was living quarters because of the laundry hanging on the side of the structure.
But on the other side the sign above the door reads “M.Sc. Electronic Science Lecture Hall.” I would love to have seen the inside.
This map was posted near the exit (or entrance).
Alumni area.
A very overgrown “Tropical Garden.”
Lastly, this young gentleman was hanging around the guard booth. When I asked if I could take his photo he puffed up his chest and took this mighty fine stance.
And this, my friends, has been story of my trip. Yesterday two wifi technicians (??) were here to fix it and I was told after it still didn’t work that someone would be back in two hours. Two hours is the magical time period around here when something might happen. Well, nothing happened. Wifi was on the blink most of the day and into the night, coming in only intermittently. This is why I’m unable to post daily. I have found that morning wifi is more reliable, so if I get up at the crack of dawn or before I may have some luck.
I have been feeling a little better each day. Yesterday I ventured out of the flat for the first time (besides the doctor visit) and went for a walk, then later went to the Institute and sat through a 2-hour talk Raya gave on using the ceiling ropes properly and assisting those going up in Adho Mukha Vrksasana (handstand) and Sirsasana (head stand) – new methods to me. He also told personal stories about his Sadhaka/Guru (student/teacher) relationship with Guruji. It was priceless.
I plan on observing the Women’s class at 9:30am today and if feeling up to it, I’ll practice in the hall (4-5:45). Otherwise, I’ll do another restorative practice here at the flat.
