An Open Invitation

Darmabum · Mar 3rd, 2006, 18:11

No need to RSVP

Any Im'er's passing through Varanasi for the next five or six months, stop into the Tawari Guest House on the Asi Ghat Road, ask for Scott . . . I'll buy you a chai.

Oh So Good to be back.

Namaste
Scott

Have a Great Stay Darmabum. Don't be afraid to give us a "Day in the Life of Varanasi Journal" or something since you'll be a towny for a while!

Asi ghat is a great place to be. I hope u enjoy the place. I also remember Tiwari house. Friendly place.

Hey, Scott, you made it! I have fond memories of an extended stay at Asi Ghat; I know you'll love it.

Hoping to be able to take you up on that offer of chai...

So good to be back.

And yes, it has changed. It's been five years! Did, however, find my flute teacher . . . room at the Tiwari . . . nice big room, and yes, they are very friendly people. I would recommend the Tiwari to anyone. Prices from Rs 60 . . . an honest man, Raju. Aalso gives very good breaks for us long termers.

Weather only now starting to warm up some. Just a glimpse of things to come. Nice high fluffy clouds in the east at sunset tonight.

What an amazing thing to walk down the street . . . just smiling . . .

Will try to work up some kind of Varanasi-log . . . but I'm here to write a book, actually finish one, one begun here six years ago. If I don't get the log going, you'll know where the words are.

Namaste
Scott

AFAI can tell he wrote this around 6:30 when the blasts/bombs went off. There's a good chance that he might've escaped if he hung around to check his mail/chat with some pretty babe or something like that.
