Nov 19, 2008 - Kurukshetra

Since the narrow gauge train leaves at 8 we get going by 7 and even tho the guy at the desk at the Y had promised the nite before we could order brkfs early so as to be able to eat and leave by 7:15 (it's a 20-30 min walk down to the train), he failed and covered by saying he had not promised this, only that he would have our brkfst by 7:15! We left w/o, Mari lingered to try getting some $$ back to no avail. Arriving in the dark(the electricity has gone off in Kurukshetra) we hire an autorickshaw which ends us up at Hotel Harsh - an LP recom one which turns out to reflect its name well, certainly not what we were expecting from the LP's description. ... Luckily, directly across the street is the Haryana Tourism office and their hotel.Since the narrow gauge train leaves at 8 we get going by 7 and even tho the guy at the desk at the Y had promised the nite before we could order brkfs early so as to be able to eat and leave by 7:15 (it's a 20-30 min walk down to the train), he failed and covered by saying he had not promised this, only that he would have our brkfst by 7:15!

Mar 2, 2006 - getting a move on

I know journal entries have been sparse-I apologize completely but the problem is that I am just having far too much fun and too many experiences to find alot of time for updates! Moreover I am starting my two weeks in Ashram tommorow and will not be electronically connected, so don't worry, I have not been eaten by hungry tigers(at least probably not), and I promise to write some nice long updates and post some photos when I get back to Delhi.I know journal entries have been sparse-I apologize completely but the problem is that I am just having far too much fun and too many experiences to find alot of time for updates!
