Now my dongle isn’t picking up wifi. Go figure.<\/p>\n

It’s 6am and the birds in the park are going wild. They’re my alarm clock every morning without fail. As I sit in the dining area in this early morning darkness, small birds come and perch on the grill outside the window bobbing their heads and chirping at their reflection. I keep the lights low so they don’t get scared away. It’s a highlight of my trip and my every morning. Class (pranayama) isn’t until this evening and practice doesn’t begin until 9am so I have a bit of leisure time to enjoy this.<\/p>\n

Below – Another outing with Nana which always leads to more photos.<\/p>\n

The children here are beautiful. Many times they run up to us and say hi and stare at us just like this boy. They have a fascination with westerners. Of course, they’re always happy when I ask if I can take their picture.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This building like many others looks run down and uninhabitable but there is life inside.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There’s life inside the back of this tuck-truck also … (I just made that name up – “tuck-truck”)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I have to say that some of the best photos I’ve taken are those with people riding motorcycles and motor scooters. They’re usually also very happy to see westerners and wiling to smile when they see I’d like to take their photo.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

India scaffolding made of bamboo. Scary. Oh, and look, they sell Levi’s.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is a deity on the front of one of the small temples we came across.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Selling “stuff” you can’t live without.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

People People everywhere.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

And now, the moment you’ve been waiting for … Cows!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>
\n\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Men at work. Look closely in the lower right hand corner. There’s a worker in the hole. This is a typical site around town – men working on the road or sidewalk. No cones, no traffic control, no safety gear.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

Commuting …<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If you need your ingin repaired, go to My Ingin.<\/p>\n

Yesterday the institute offered a workshop on the rope wall. Three of the younger teachers demonstrated and gave all the students turns at the ropes for each pose demonstrated. Because there were three of them, we were watched closely and given adjustments when needed. What made this even more special was Sunita watched on from her practice in the corner where Guruji used to practice and she pitched in just as Guruji used to do. Sunita has had a great presence in the practice hall this visit. It’s wonderful to see her there and to be the recipient of her beautiful, genuine smile.<\/p>\n
