so this little tally to my left tells me that 123 people have visited my blog this week. ummm where are you? speak to me people.i am having a moment. and indian moment if you will... where dogs come through restaraunts without care and cats jump out of my window as i come home, and right now i am listening to some sort of fighting that sounds like chanting... and yes i just got up to look and some bare chested indian men are yelling at each other while about 100 people watch. however, no fists are being raised. i dont think actual physical fighting is ever an issue here. although men constantly staring at your tits is.

so back to my moment... if i can think of it within the yangwashi sa bu ra fighting... is that i am a bit lonely. but the kind of lonely that propels me to do things i wouldnt usually do... like befriend a 50 year old woman who has been travelling the world for the last 20 years i met sitting next to me at the cafe, or going to morning yoga on the beach, and tearing through travel books i have been trading with the man in the hut next to mine.ok. i just heard a slap. maybe they do really fight.

one thing they definetly do is cuddle. and hold hands. the men that is... i was feeling so san francisco comfortable but alas none of them are gay. the culture just breeds men to be touchy feely with each other, walk around half naked, while the women are god knows where - not out and about here... and if they are they go swimming in full sari's while the german ladies sun their breasts, and everyone else wears normal swimming attire.i am however, getting a bit sick of the electricity going out. nothing sucks more than going to bed with a cool breeze from your fan and then waking up sweating and not being able to sleep its so hot... and then when you finally start to drift away, the chanting from the temple down the way gets going and its almost time for bamboo cake breakfast.

(this is the beach where ive been the last several days... because my camera charger is broken i can take no more pictures until i get back to delhi and find a camera shop.)
