Hello everyone!

Its good to start writing again. missed this very much for the past few months, and after tirelessly getting myself tired down to the point of tiring everyone else, what else to do than to write again.

right on!

now, after a long time, i finally got myself the break i needed. a trip to india, back to a land in which i feel truly at home. preparations were made to go there, and with Gus’s blessings in abundance, the trip manifested itself. everything was like destinied to happen, like a series of coincidences just waiting to take place, the domino effect finally took its toll.

enter-india

it brought back tears of jo to finally step back to the land of my fore fathers. everything around me was indian, from the people, to the culture, to the vehicles, to the road manners, the driving, the roadside wonders (go figure, much to be talked about) to the whole spiritual plateu that i’m getting into, its simply amazing. a land of wonders. what did the british see in india, one might ask. you just have to be there to believe it.

onwards, to puttaparthi.

now, my journey this time took me to the abode of peace, Gus’s residence at puttaparthy, which is like almost 12++ journey by bus, that too, mind you, is a modern, air conditioned bus, and not the local one which is like getting into a one way ticket to the river styx. the bus journey was fun, some of the highlights of the ride was learing the vehicle lingo; the sounds of the car/bus/lorry/motorcycle/auto rickshaw horn blazing away more than people talking, the vast country side and it’s beautiful plantations, the atmosphere inside the bus (inside enterainment was provided by the girls singing bhajans and the guys just making a nuisance of the bhajans by banging their way to glory on the kanjeera , which will be me!) and the roadside stop to have lunch and tea (gun powder…don’t you forget that). arrived at the gates of peace at sometime past midnight, what is to be the adventure of a lifetime for me and many others…

to be continued……… (must have been the staple diet of tamil and hindi serials…….)

plain ol spiritually energised joe
