Poorer Side

Gandhi Bhavan

The room where Gandhi stayed when in Mumbai.  A very touching little museum and for me, the room, very inspirational.  Keeping it very simple.

Steamed Idli

My all time favourite meal, simple steamed rice bread with coconut chutney and spicy sambar soup.

Hare Krishna

Stayed in ISKCON in Mumbai, one of my favourite places to stay by far.   Beautiful, clean, cheerful, full of happy healthy faces, and a wonderful atmosphere.  Not to mention the delicious buffet meal in the evening of pure vegetarian food.  Bhagavad gita in the room and constantly being greeted with a smile and a Hare Krishna.

Rural Problems

It says "Give up the bait of open defeca and enhance the dignity health and honour of the family".  Positive work for the villages going on, good to see action in progress.

The way to the Beach

Chocolate Tart

One of THE best I've ever tasted.  Because of the large foreign community you could get food from all corners of the world, this was a cafe run by a British couple: good cakes and tea.

Houseboats

Life in Goa really is very idyllic, slow slow slow peaceful pace.

Anjuna Beach

With a Shiva Trident.

Ashwen Beach

Beautiful relaxed, and end of season so hardly any people.  Oh and good waves.

Elephant in the Village

Rolf

Teaching a pranayama class.

Cashew Nut

This is the fruit of a cashew nut, I never knew how they grew!  The fruit was an interesting experience too, wouldn't eat too many of them.  Think they usually get made into some kind of alcohol.

Little Vagator Beach

Beach Time

On H's birthday.
