Over/On we go
Sabha Kuch Milega
30th January, New Delhi

Hello again, I think for the last time from India. Today I got visa for Thailand and tomorrow afternoon is my flight. With Biman (Bangladesh) airlines, which means that I'll have to spend one night in five star hotel in Dakha. Can be interesting, especially cause I know only one thing of Bangladesh: that in some (visual) aspects can be even worse than India. If I've not heard this from an Indian, I wouldn't believe. But: everything is possible (Sabha kuch milega). So only one thing to do: let me experience this.

Getting a ticket for a flight can be also complicated. I was for two days running from agency to agency and asking for prices (which depend on date of journey, airlines company and travel agency comission). Of course, there are also many cheaters and such staff and beside all that, everyone tells his truth. So finding out what's true and what are the real prices can be exhausting. But I did it. 17 hours to go...

Delhi is chaotic, polluted and overcrowded as any other big Indian city. But there is metro. Yes, real metro. If compared, it would be close to Lisbonian, but the level of security and cleaness is even higher. So it is, a product of westernised mind in the middle of India. Same are people who use it. They are normally looking well-situated and quite well educated. For a moment it happened to me that I forgot about India and all its sweatness and disturbances...

Delhi seems somehow a city with good perspective. Also the vibe seems young and revitalised. But don't think you're gonna go out on the street easy. Don't never ever forget that your skin looks different and that most of Indians see black-white. But future rises as I progress to Thailand and with my promise that I come back one day.

Aaaa, soon I'll be 6 hours before Europe :)))
Enjoy

Still Pushkar

26^th January

Tomorrow, tomorrow, is always tomorrow… goes a song once my friends composed. I know what I promised, but I could instead of never say never at this point make up I promise I won’t promise never ever :))

I felt my promise like have-to thing, and so it was always postponed. You see, quite a time ago I stopped doing things with my head, mind; I gave up. I said to me: “I’ll do things that I like, that I feel.” So it was.

For two months now I’ve been traveling around India, meeting different, very different people. This impressions in combination with shortage of some material things (giving me happiness and power for setting such belief system as I had; read: music), affected in short time of self-absorbance. It means I was rather chosing to stay on my own. I had no power – no need also – to go out, communicate with people, breath the air truly.

One of the things bringing me back was the fact, that in each head of ours exist more than 3.7 million belief systems!!! I gave up. This is work for Marvin…

And I’m finally going Delhi. Tomorrow evening. That means, that after getting visa and ticket I fly to Thailand. Maybe I’ve not done some things I wanted, but with each new day I’m realizing that my trip (and this blog) are more consciousness travel than anything else. I actually went to see possibilities that exist. I know I don’t look for physical place on Earth; I look for grander view on myself, also my Self.

India was (is) great. Meaning both, big and wonderful. I learned a lot. And because the review of past two months and a half is nearly visible, I’ll stop for today.

And I don’t feel like writing about Pushkar and surroundings or people I met. The fascinating ones I didn’t let into my reality, I wanted my own. I finished with shopping and so it’s done. And second story/promise are pictures. But I give them with love. Jah bless, k

This all four are photos of Pushkar, first on the day of kite festival.

ps. Don’t even wanna talk about the electricity fell-outs in Pushkar. That is the main reason you’re getting this with extra 5-day delay. And the virus afterall ate half of pictures I wanted to publish, so ...

Fresh blog coming soon-soon (like monsoon)

Brahma
North India
14th Jan, Pushkar

Smesn mi je na vsake quatre prebrat, k jih znate pokat :)) ampak ostajam na anglescini; cause it is more relaxed. You know - sometimes our mind just flies. Like day-dreaming, some would say. And so I make complicated sentences. But, no worry, my friends. I make easy. OK?

In the state of Rajasthan; deserts, devotion to God, a place where you can nearly feel the Himalaya. Yeah, it was interesting wat to get myself here in Pushkar, one of the seven holy cities. It's a small town, rather a village, with most of its prosper built around the lake. When Brahma stepped, a big hole appeared, which is today filled with (sacred) water.

And I find myself here, doing whole-sale. Actually, I came to buy a tee-pee. And I do find whole situation funny, easy learning. So far so good. You know, when you're ready, the teacher comes, says old truth. Whatever...

I wanted to tell you, that North India's much different (than South, of course :D). It's, from todays' point of view, great shift in consciousness. But who cares. Closer to Himalaya has the double meaning; I doubt you can('t) smell the other one :))) Some nice photos coming soon, when I meet a propher computer.

And afterall, it was great and pleasant coincidence to meet Christian, frood from Vienna, one of the couple of Austrian guys I travelled with at the beggining of the trip.

So, see you on the board, ha? :))
Peace
k


ps. this is few days old blog, written in days after arriving in Pushkar. Tomorrow - promise - you read fresh news :D

Restart
Ufff, no words
11th Jan, 2007, Mumbai

Hell-o. It was, a little longer stay that I planned. Actually, I don't know ecsactlly, but for me the vibe of Goa works lick sick one. On one side many tourists with (spending) a lot of money and on the other Indians, who are not this any more. I don't know, but far away from real India that I like, that I feel. Whatsoever...

I went to take photos, but one ego-full "saddhu" brought me down. Of course it happened because I let him. I'm telling you, that this caused 3 days longer stay, which was anyway good (maybe too much chilluming), and no photos comeout.

Slowly I'm finihing with India. After nearly two months I'm at starting point in Mumbai. Two cities (Puskhar and Delhi) left to go. Towards SE Asia. I think I'll be back here soon, but Jah let us give his bless, ha? :D

Ufff, nearly forgot to tell you the story of my sleeping place this night. It was on the shelf, where normally the luggage in the general class is stored. But if you have no ticket for sleeping class and you want to overcome the night sleeping, that's the best solution. He he, experience. Nice one, practical.

3 to go

3rd Jan 2007, Arambol, Goa

Yooo! Hardly believe it. New year's begining as I never imagined. At Sai Baba's ashram. Don't wanna talk about devotees, cause they're sometimes worse than sheep (specially "domestic"). But I must pay respect to Him, for whom I went. With great thanks for two beatufil darshans on the first day of this year of the 9 (2007). Most of words just can't describe it. I was crying because of the stomachache (hmmm, means releasing the attachement to family, home and community, and it's partly true), I was enjoying, resting, rediscovering and whatever else. Anyway it's just my way. For those maybe interseted let me write down the url: www.sathyasai.org

Today, after one and a half day travelling I arrived in Goa. Yes, the beaches again. And the things that somehow stay a taboo to this blog: girls, smoking, etc. I will let you know about my "progress" constantly, but for now I take a day or to off. This is probably the last swimming time this "summer" in India. And I'll make some good photos. So expect next time a little more of material.

For now I'll just say you for the last time in this session of wishes: Happy New Year. Let it be joyful, playful, healthy, powerful and all-a-like else. With Jah bless, k
