    This was one of my smoothest cycle transport experiences so far. I have had many adventures of carrying the cycle on airplanes packed in plastic bags and covers. Adamant discussions with airport authorities about the cycle safety. Waiting at the baggage retrieval counter to find the plastic cover had been totally ripped up, and the…

    Most of us Isha Yoga meditators are always eager to visit Sadhguru SriBrahma spots and usually find them to be palpably powerful.

Or sometimes delegated to the house help, who is also South Indian, and sees value in it. Many will sprinkle the cow-dung mixed yellow (turmeric?) water on the Earth before doing the rangoli.

    In Thailand, too often I found myself explaining to people that I was an Indian vegetarian, meaning that I was highly particular and strict about my food.

    It has been a long day. I will myself up from the bed. I have yoga practices to do and then I have to consider my sprained ankle. And consume some fluids. And if the body aches, only stretching vociferously helps. I have cycled for 3 days. About 190km across southern Thailand. This is quite…
