The Jungle Alarm Clock
New Year's Eve I was in bed after early am practice for the rest of the day with GI upset and it was as simple as Pepto Bismal, but I can't treat myself like i can treat others..so I went 3 days in misery and finally met with this Ayurvedic doc and he is talking up a storm. He has a boy run up to the pharmacy; I think he is saying papaya enzyme etc.. and it is "Gelusil". The Indian version of Pepto Bismal.
3 days of that at 3x a day and back to better tummy. Then a sore throat came on right after and now I have a nice head cold. But still practicing as you only let go of practice if you have a fever.
Lino offered me to travel with him up to Bangalore and to Mysore and he would introduce me to Guruji himself.. I have a hard time passing that one up although I must say on some level I am preparing to leave this country.
3 weeks or so left. In the moment, but definitely getting hits of... OK, I have had enough of India. Not Lino, but India. The bartering, begging, noises, smells, pollution, European cigarette smoke in restaurants, on the beach, and in the internet cafes.
Probably when you do not feel 100% tolerance for things go down. So I will NOT rush home, but sit with all that is around me and everything I have gained from my time here. Montana can wait as my life will resume there slowly.
The solitude has been other worldly on some level despite the jungle alarm clock. The lack of phone, radio, TV etc. has been great. I do not miss any of that, but I have put my walkman on a few times to hear some classical music and also Micheal Franti.
I hope you all are well. Other than my head cold and nice waves today that I am refraining from surfing, I am in good spirits and doing my own cooking. Indian food esp., the spicy dishes which is every dish was enough for 5 weeks . I had to take a break and will get back to it when the pal late says to.
I love you all..mwah
Much love, Randa
