You are echoing the same adage as one of our company's clients said about India quote "It is the worst and the best country exists on earth" and we all IMikers are doing our bit to smoke out the worst of it, if possible.

Cool A day In Himachal

Hello Folks,

How we all doing? good i hope.

Himanchal is looking good. Westerners are arriving in small number but the indian tourist(the most lucrative season) is in full swing.

After my chaotic journey from London to Himanchal I finaly got some sleep and then i went out to go look for timothy leary.

The day has been interesting since then. I am observing a lot and socialising with the locals.

The sun here rises in the morning and the cold dissappears. Then the villagers get up to go about there day. The higher the sun goes the warmer it becomes. Sun is powerfull in India. Ramdass told me this. I went out looking for timothy but I saw ram dass.

I did meet an american indeed. He was telling the waiter that they should make teas like americans man!

Ha HA ha

Anywas i better got before the light goes and i lose my data. The light went somewhere 3 times last night.

I wonder where the light went?

any detailed guesses?

Cool How to take a shower in India

Step one, Assuming the geezer has been on for atleast 30 mins before and the bucket is full of hot or cold water. Depending on the geography of your location.

Step Two: Use one of those mineral water bottle instead of a mugga! This will controle the flow of water while you pour it over your head and body.

Step three: Now stand up (if you already not standing) and pour water all over your body witgh one hand(same first bottle) and rub or rinse your body with the other hand. This is very important.

Step four: After you have throughly rubbed your body with soap or similar then do the step three again!

Now you see in england I would have never been able to learn that myself.


HAHAHA I am ram dass and I am exactly where i was suppose to be.
