Above – Cat drinking from a pottery bowl along a busy street.
Here are some photos from a couple walks around the neighborhood.
Below – Some kind of mushroom growing from a tree.
These men were enjoying chai together at a sidewalk cafe. They didn’t seem to mind me taking their photo from the sidewalk.
Jill “took one for the team.” I avoided the woman asking for money and giving bindis in return. Jill wasn’t so lucky.
Lunch time.
And a serenade while eating.
Wherever you go here you will see people on their cell phones. Here’s a whole line of people sitting along a block wall, all of them on their phones.
Flatmates – ManYee, me and Jill taking a rickshaw ride (not Nana) to look at some yoga props.
This photo is a little hard to see because it’s taken in a tunnel from from a rickshaw. What you’re looking at here is two men on a motorbike carrying a ladder.
ManYee, me and Jill enjoying a night out at the Marriott. Cheers!
The Marriott here is very nice. Here’s artwork hanging from the ceiling in the main lobby.
Here’s more artwork at the top floor.
I don’t know how I missed this little gem. This market is very close to our flat. I’ve never seen it in the 3 times I’ve been here, but you can bet I’ll be going back.
Here’s a photo Jill took of me walking home from the store.
When I was sick I missed the celebration marking the third year of Guruji’s death. Here is a photo Jill shared with me of the Patanjali in the practice hall decorated with Guruji’s photo and cast of Guruji’s feet. The photos on the wall behind Patanjali are Krishnamacharya on the left and Ramamani Iyengar, Guruji’s wife, on the right.
And my Pune friends Kathleen, Jill and ManYee at the celebration.
More photos from the road …
A common sight here. This boy can’t be more than 6-7 years old.
This is the entrance to The Bombay Sappers, which is a regiment of the Corps of Engineers of the Indian Army that has served in many wars. There’s a lot more to know about the Bombay Sappers if you’d like to google them.
Driving over the Mutha River bridge after Ayurveda.
An unfortunate site. A lot of trash.
More bus stop waiting.
And cows!
Demolition.
Across the street from The MoMo’s – This hungry girl is eating for more than herself and she’ll find food anywhere she can get it.
I saw this deity hanging on a tree along one of my walks in the neighborhood.
I had a great day today. Jill and I spent all afternoon with Nana. We visited three temples and I took many beautiful photos I’ll begin to share with you tomorrow.
btw, I’m feeling much better today. I believe I’ve made a huge breakthrough with this cold. I’ve got 7am class with Prashant tomorrow and very much looking forward to it.
