Day 63 - Sivananda

Hellooo

Well, haven't written in a few days - unfortunately the internet slot is only one hour (3 computers for the whole ashram - riiidiiiculous) and the power has a habit of going off for half of that!

Still getting along well here - though unfortunately the mornings are becoming harder and harder, not the other way round. Lately swamiji has been ducking out of the evening satsangs, and an old biddie has been taking his place. Old biddie is about 70, and has a the most painfully squeaky chanting voice imaginable - thus satsang becomes even more of a torture. I have started sneaking my mp3 player in and cranking it up to full blast to drown the general cacophany of sound that is everyone trying to match old biddies tune.

Lisa is just leaving now - she is going to Kovalam and up to Cochin - we have been pretty much in each others pockets for almost 2 months - so it is wierd to see her go. I've been making plans too - I'm leaving on friday with Becca from America and Celine from France. We are planning to go to Verkala, Cochin, Mysore and Bangalore before heading our seperate ways to catch our respective flights at the end of next month.

So in my last days I will aim to 1) finally get into locust(hard yoga posture thing) 2) Get another massage (I've already had one - 400R for an hour of heaven on earth - bargin!) and 3) Manage to sit through 30 minutes of meditation without fidgeting,thinking about food or counting the seconds.
