I asked this fine specimen of a student if I could take his photo. Me: May I take your photo? Him: What for? Me: For my blog. Him: Where are you from? Me: United States, San Diego. Him: Yes.<\/em> He was the first person who questioned my motive. I figure I explained myself sufficiently.<\/p>\n This is a panorama from close to the top of the hill looking out over Pune.<\/p>\n This little temple was nestled away in the bushes.<\/p>\n In the following photo I tried to capture the beauty of this fern.<\/p>\n A little fun and frolic…<\/p>\n What you can’t tell from the photo below is that I’m standing on a foot wide rim of a large pool of water. Dirty, very dirty water.<\/p>\n Part of the path to the top. So typical here that even in the beauty of things, there is garbage.<\/p>\n At the top – another small temple.<\/p>\n We didn’t see any snakes besides the red one on this sign.<\/p>\n We can see the temple in the photo below from our flat.<\/p>\n I spoke with this nice man and his children who are from Pune but live in the US. They were here in Pune visiting their family.<\/p>\n View from the other side of the hill. The building right in the center is the Marriott.<\/p>\n There was quite a bit of cactus that appeared to have been planted here at some time. It seemed a bit out of place, surrounded by fern.<\/p>\n As you can see, we came across a lot of people walking up the hill. Many students, but also those who aren’t students who come to get a little exercise. It’s truly beautiful there.<\/p>\n It has been raining non-stop for over 24 hours, pouring down heavily, and I have a cold and have been sleeping all day. I missed the Punyathiti (death anniversary) held at the Institute this morning for Guruji. It has been three years since he died.<\/p>\n Blogged on Amma’s iPhone and MacBook from iNdia with LOVE!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Above – Young boy swinging on a rope near the sports complex.
