Catch Up

Catching up on some photos I was unable to post when the wifi was down. The following are photos from one of my rides with Nana in his rickshaw.

This is a Ducati motorcycle dealer. It’s a pretty high-class establishment for Pune.

Waiting for the bus.

Lovely artwork on the front of this building.

Looking down the Mutha River.

Below is a group of people preparing for the Independence Day celebrations that took place a couple weeks ago.

I’ve gone past this area several times and never saw water spilling out like this. Nana (who knows everything) didn’t have an explanation so it remains a mystery.

I may have posted this photo before but I don’t remember. It takes too much time and energy to go back through all my posts, so if you’ve seen it before I apologize. This is me and Nana.

This is my friend Kathleen from Milwaukee talking with Vasant, one of the merchants who sells t-shirts, yoga props and other things.

Selfie with Kathleen. I met Kathleen here in Pune in 2013. We stay in touch and met back up in Pune in 2015 and 2017.

ManYee trying on “Pune shorts” from Vasant. She’s a bit whacky.

You know it’s a crowded bus when the doors don’t close and people are hanging out the door.

More cows from the car ride to Ayurveda.

Now this is awesome. I’ve seen several of these contraptions around town. It’s like a big shop vac. What amazes me the most is that it doesn’t appear to have much vacuum power, so whoever is running the machine tends to walk around all day pushing garbage around. In other words, it doesn’t seem to work very well, if at all. You can see in this photo this guy is pushing some garbage with his foot. I’m guessing that never made it into the basin of the vacuum.

Nap time.

Pizza! Not the best pizza ever made, but I managed to eat half of it at one sitting.


Today was the first day I went back to class in over a week. I’m finally getting close to 100%. In fact, I yawned a few minutes ago and my ears popped so maybe the fuzziness is going away.

This morning’s class was Pranayama taught by Rajlaxmi. It was the best Pranayama class I’ve taken so far this month. After class I took a trip to Ayurjoti for another treatment, then back to the Institute for late afternoon practice. Many foreigners have left to go home so the practice hall was peaceful and quiet with a lot of space to spread out.

Tomorrow Jill and I have a last Sunday outing with Nana. I’m not sure what he has in store for us, but I can guarantee you will hear about it.

It’s raining here. Monsoon.
