I&#8217;ve contracted a cold, have gone through all my good tissues and am now working on the less than adequate tissues (very thin sandpaper) provided at the airport. I slept almost the entire 9 \u00bd hour flight from Delhi to London and it was nice!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I said a sad goodbye yesterday to my Pune Sister, Jill. She and Cyndy Cordle (also from San Diego) braved the drive to Mumbai after the early class with Prashant. Jill went off to Australia and Cyndy was returning back home (probably arriving in San Diego before I do). As you can tell from a lot of my photos Jill and I had many great experiences and a lot of laughs together. <\/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\/09\/c3886074-99c4-4728-914c-9d2bb0f38a94-1500x1125.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14077\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.obyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/c3886074-99c4-4728-914c-9d2bb0f38a94-1500x1125.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/blog.obyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/c3886074-99c4-4728-914c-9d2bb0f38a94-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.obyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/c3886074-99c4-4728-914c-9d2bb0f38a94-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.obyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/c3886074-99c4-4728-914c-9d2bb0f38a94-624x468.jpg 624w, https:\/\/blog.obyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/c3886074-99c4-4728-914c-9d2bb0f38a94.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption>Jill and Cyndy bonding in Mumbai.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>I stayed for Sunita&#8217;s 9:30am class and Nana gave me a ride to the Pune airport later in the afternoon where we said our final goodbyes and I gave him a stash of left over rupees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"1127\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.obyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_8879-1500x1127.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-14078\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.obyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_8879-1500x1127.jpeg 1500w, https:\/\/blog.obyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_8879-600x451.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/blog.obyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_8879-768x577.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/blog.obyoga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/IMG_8879-624x469.jpeg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption>A last 2019 chai and selfie with Nana on the way to the airport.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The Pune airport is like the rest of India &#8211; chaos.
