Sama, tell us more, please...but, hang on a minute, what about Ahimsa? Of course, it also applies to the self, right?

I did a course at college too, it was hilarious. The guy had a "sidekick" and he would demonstrate all the moves on him. The poor kid got dragged around by his ear, choked, and sat on by a burly middle-aged man.

It's worth going just for that!

there is an old story about the sadhu who told the cobra that was terrorizing and biting everyone in a village that he (the cobra) should practice AHIMSA. the next time the sadhu saw the snake, he saw it was all beaten up, torn up, and dying....the cobra told the sadhu, I did what you said, I practiced ahimsa, and now I am dying....

ah, said the saddhu....but I never told you not to hiss.

I like the classes where one guy is all padded up from head to foot and the women just start wailing on him....

then the instructor says, OK, ladies, now I'll show how ya how to REALLY hurt him....

An ex of mine (not ex for this reason I hasten to add) taught me swordplay. One day when we were practicing beside an old quarry, now a lake, on the Malvern Hills, he said "Okay, now just come at me"

We thought we were alone until we heard the bird watchers above the cliffs calling "Go on love, run him through!"

So anyway, I did a bit better than either of us expected. To be fair he too was a bit disappointed when his resulting (minor) injury didn't leave a scar.

And no, I won't be bringing a sabre when I return to Delhi.

Like the snake hissing and sabre rattling stories

I prefer my "If I throw a stick, will you go away?" T-shirt.

Or maybe the "I'll try being nicer, if you'll try being smarter" one.

Response to the hand tickle...

Smile sweetly. Draw the guy slightly closer. Bring knee up sharply.

Be embarrassing f you then find he has a genuine twitch!

Unfortunately for the poor chap who tries that one, until my language skills are a lot more advanced, the chances of my remembering the Hindi for "You have exactly ten seconds to persuade me that you have a neurological disease, after which my knee will be paying a swift visit to your family jewels" are negligible.

I'd read this thread (and countless others!) on Indiamike previous to my trip, and was relieved to find that I didn't have any major issues of it...
until I got to Hemis Monastery! How sick is that? A monk there (who had to be young enough to be my son, even sicker) moved in, asked for a kiss, and then grabbed me; there was no one around, so I just yelled and ran out of there double quick. Nasty.

(I believe I may have used the expression, "You're a MONK for G-d's sake!)
