| Lunch! |
It has been awhile since I sat to write except on my book. I felt so at home today as I sat down to a lunch of chicken & dumplings and a spinach salad with my own home-made dressing, paneer (farmers cheese), mushrooms, red onions, and tomatoes...delicious if I do say so myself!
Although my doctor recommended I eat some of my protein as meat, I dreaded buying it. My partner, Himanshu, took me to purchase a chicken, but what I didn't know is that they would pull a live chicken out of a stack of cages, and proceed to slaughter it, put it in the bag warm. and hand it to me. Oh my God! As I held the warm. soft, bag, I felt tears form and run down my cheeks. I realized I could never kill anything, but I may as well have killed this chicken. I thanked the earth for providing this animal to improve my health...it helped.

| Little Prince & Jasmine Cafe |
These are two of my favorite restaurants, The Little Prince & Jasmine Cafe, all veg., right on Lake Pichola. At times people bathe and do their laundry on the ghats (steps) while you are eating lunch. It is both a relaxing place, and a very interesting one at the same time.
And life rolls on.... I am planning to go see H.H. The Dalai Lama teach the first of June and will finally make it to Nepal when it gets unbearably hot here. But, hey, I'm a Texan and we are used to the heat! Enjoy your life, it's the only one you have at the moment!

| 20085 Maruti 800AC |
Oh, I almost forgot...I bought a car! It is made by Suzuki and is a 2008 Maruti 800AC. A bit twinky, but small and perfect for India!
