A day in Rishikesh relaxes me so well. I spend a large portion of it taking pictures and walking around to take more pictures. I stop here or there for a tea and a bottle of water and by evening, satisfy my hunger at an outdoor restaurant, sitting on cushions on the ground and watching the sun drop over the Ganga River.
It’s a great way to live but uninteresting to narrate at any length. I suppose I’ll just go over the highlights of the day, instead.
1) Coming out of my hotel room, there was a cow in the lobby. It wandered in off the street. They hit it with a stick until it left.
2) I took a few of my all time favourite pictures today.
3) I discovered that I have trouble making friends with somebody who insists on being pretty weird and seems to be pressing me to parrot him.
4) I ate a whole pizza for dinner.
5) I washed my clothes in the shower, killed three cockroaches and I’m puzzled by the number of fruit flies that live in my bathroom.
6) I returned a book lent to me by the yogi who taught me pranayama.
7) I saw more sadhus today than I have ever seen in one day. They’re all completely broke and a lot of them are pretty giggly.
8) I realized that my beard is growing in pretty well. And I combed my hair with a toothbrush.
9) I took so many pictures of the sunset that I saw spots in my field of vision for almost 10 minutes afterward.
10) I can’t think of any more. . . so here are a couple pictures instead.
