Three days. This might sound crazy (because it is), but I&#8217;ve devised a highly scientific method of counting down the days using eggs and watermelon. That&#8217;s right, eggs and watermelon. You see, I have six eggs left. That&#8217;s two eggs for each morning &#8211; Thursday, Friday and Saturday. And I now have one whole watermelon which means I have half a (very small) watermelon for tomorrow night and the other half for Friday night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m finishing up some business here with Sudhir, the owner of Dimpex, who handles all my batiking. It looks like he&#8217;ll be done with most of the t-shirts I brought, but he&#8217;ll have to parcel the long-sleeve hoodies. The rain we had the first half of the month put a damper on this project because they don&#8217;t use dryers here and the batiking process requires the different colors to be done in stages, and each stage requires the shirts to dry before the next stage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1125\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.obyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_8813-1500x1125.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-13991\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.obyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_8813-1500x1125.jpeg 1500w, https:\/\/blog.obyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_8813-600x450.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/blog.obyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_8813-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.obyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/08\/IMG_8813-624x468.jpeg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption>Sudhir with a few of the t-shirts he brought for me to check out yesterday.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Alandi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the remainder of my Alandi photos, including a video that gives a good picture of what it&#8217;s like by the river. As I mentioned in an earlier post and posts from prior visits, Alandi is a pilgrimage town and resting place (aka Samadhi) of Saint Jnaneshwar. There is a very old and popular temple here. We opted to not go into the temple this visit, but I&#8217;ve been there on all my prior visits. If you want to know more about it I&#8217;m sure you can find more information online. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"190818 Alandi\" width=\"625\" height=\"352\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nbAfffENrp0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption>This (above) is a video.
