1. CHAOS : First impression. . . What else can I say?
2. LUNCH : In a bag - truly - even soup and they were all tied with just a little white string - not even a knot.
3. CHAI WALLA : Ah, I love the boy or man who walks around and offers me chai. Okay, really I just love the chai and that it is offered to me all the time.
4. EQUANIMITY : This word may live in my brain for ages to come. It was constantly repeated during the meditation. I am not sure I've ever heard it before and felt I needed a little clarification on exactly what it meant, so I asked my teacher. He just repeated exactly what was on the tape and instantly I was annoyed. Then I had to remind myself, just as the tape always did, "This to shall pass."
5. RELAX : While my friend went to pick up his in-laws from the train station, I had the morning to myself. Later when we all got together, everyone was so sleepy; lounging around taking naps. I was glad to see that it's not just my family that gets the sleep-ies when we finally get together. I think it must be all the rushing around to make it/prepeare for each other that by the time we connect we're exhausted, and since we're family we think, "They'll understand - They're family."
6. PRESS : The Chhaap press - ou la la! At last, a big press to make big prints! Hmm, why is it I've spent the first four days making only mini prints and wishing for my baby press? Time to switch modes!
7. NIGHT TRAIN : Another excellent night on the train. You get on. You're given sheets in a brown bag, a blanket and a pillow. Then the lights are turned off, the curtins are pulled and everyone snoozes till we reach our morning destination. So cheap = So nice.
