Found the perfect plug-in light up Ganesh alter at the Fancy Gift Shop (FANCY!). Took him home, elated. He caught fire. I think it was arson (*sideeyes roike*)
Ganesh *after* dark.
Ganesh before dark.
I just saw two cow friends sprint down the street. That's new. They were really mooooooov-ing!
In bed at 7:30, and still worried about proper amounts of sleep.

That nap felt like a total nervous system reset. Intense week!
The sunrise and jingles-growing-fainter chanting gently remind me to not leave until I've left.
More sneaky temple.
Tomorrow is my last Mysore practice in the eponymous city. I'll share a bit more soon, I promise.
Finished my final practice at the Shala for this go 'round; carried Butternaan the Shala Dog out like a princess. Nava-- go home, take rest.
I miss Mysore, but we're ready to discover Goa. For better or worse, they're different worlds. We can do it.

Well, I better get to India quick. That December 1 acceptance to the shala won't fill itself.
All this space & time on my hands! Who wants to learn Ashtanga? Mysore newbies, 2 months for $220. I leave for India on November 29th. Hurry!

birthday lunch buffet in the jungle palace's dining hall. then, bonding over indian uno. operation: be kind, connect is happening.
The utter barking of the street dogs and the vivid dreams were both fondly dis remembered. Only truth at 2:04am.
4:45 is a totally appropriate time to wake up for a 7:30 start time. Gooood Moooooorning, Gokulum!
Overheard in Mysore: "Funny that the gays can't keep their legs behind their heads, no?"
Crystal Y. Jolley-- I wanna tell the story of the natural mystic who told us my future, but its so creepy and unbelievable I need someone to back me up. I need someone who was there!
A quick aside from conference yesterday: Sharath took a nap in his car at his cousin's wedding. He is my teacher #teamcarnap
Physical therapist was just shy of unbearable. Dr Akash found all the spots & gave me homework. Can't wait get to work!
