Reality update

Hello
I have much I want to write to you, about spirit and buddhism and hinduism and mythology, which I have to say, but I have no time at all to do so, so it will wait, because there is always more time in the future. But now, I just want to say what I have been doing and what I will do, because it's interesting and if there are avid readers of this blog, then I guess yuou want to know what I'm up to.

Yesterday, trip to Sarnoth, the place of Buddha's first teaching, sacred site to buddhists. Have much to say about buddhism, will save it for later. today, I had class and program-stuff, and just went shopping for wedding clothes with my host brother, which was an intense and trying affair. I needed western clothes, cotton pants and button down shirt. Indian pants are tight in crotch area. Family very approving with my snappy looks. The first night of the wedding is tonight, which I will miss unfortionatly, and the second night of the wedding is tomorrow night. It is my host-cousin (a girl) getting married, a very big deal, long wedding, very auspicious day. TOnight i will go to the Drupaud Mela, an all night concert of Indian classical music, until six in the morning. Then tomorrow, I will conduct my first two interviews about hindi mythology to two grandmothers, who I hope will tell me good stories of the gods. I have a translator. Then tomorrow night, the wedding, then on Sunday I go to the Ashram/orphanage to volunteer, then a meeting with Shukaji, then sunday night is Shivratri, Night of Shiva, which is a huge hindu holiday, especially in this city which is sacred to Shiva, and will be quite insane and crazy.

Will post more later.
love
jed
