Hello Everyone!
Just wanted to let everyone know that I’ve made it home safe and sound!  I had a good flight home and am very happy to be back in Florida.  It’s quite cold here – ohh – much more so than comfy ole Mysore!  I miss everyone there very much and look forward to seeing [...]

Ok, gotta make this uber quick as my taxi will be here any minute to take me to Bangalore!  I had an extremely busy day today running around getting things taken care of before I take off…So busy that I haven’t had any time to contemplate the fact that I am leaving India, a place [...]

           I am truly amazed…My inbox was flooded, this morning, with requests for my password for my blog – I never dreamed so many of my friends and students actually read this thing!  So, I’ve thought a little and decided to forget password protecting my blog – I’ll keep it free and open to anyone [...]

After every storm comes a rainbow!  Well, she is beginning to show her beautiful face!  I have had a few rough days….Was able to sleep with the lights out last night, but the workers woke me up at 2:30am in the morning!  The landlords had let me know the workers would be here late and [...]

Here is another nasty comment from some unknown person who doesn’t seem to understand what I’ve been through and seems to somehow think that I am bashing all Indian people!  I’d like to apologize to anyone out there who feels that is what I’ve said in my blog entries because that is simply not the case whatsoever….I [...]

Some unknown person, from this email address – justnikhil@rediffmail.com, just left this comment on my blog entry “Lights On”: 
“We do admit that we (Indians) are poor, uncivilised, uneducated people.  But we do take pride in talking our language, paying heed to our traditions and cultures. (maybe you were ignorant enough to assume English
was our national language since we [...]

Night two of sleeping with the lights on!  In my wildest dreams I never thought I, Krista, would sleep with lights on….I always loved the dark…I just couldn’t even stand to be in that room with the lights off for even a second last night…But my landlords have been great – they stayed in a room downstairs [...]

Your phone alarm goes off at 4:40am – you turn it off and rest your head back on the pillow for a moment…You hear a slight rumbling noise very close to you…you roll over in bed and see an outline of a man digging through your closet – he is standing 2 inches from your [...]

Oh my gosh – where to begin????  Hum, well yesterday mornings practice was good – exhausting to the bone but good nonetheless.  Guruji always leads a very fast paced practice and I found myself trying to catch my breath!  After practice was over I rushed home to shower and get ready for the Rashinkar’s Puja [...]

Ok, so Sharath did leave yesterday L  Pretty bummed that I didn’t get to say goodbye to him…It’s alright though – I’ll just have to wait till I see him next year! 
            Practice this morning was good – but my energy levels have been uber low the last week or so…I’ve noticed it throughout [...]
