It never felt so right before
I need to be with you much more
You're always on my mind
I hope that I'm not dreaming
What a brilliant song (IIO). Can't figure which version this is but since it's a more 'dance'/techno, it's all good.
Don't know why the song gets cut in this video but still it's better to have this video than the other ones that were uploaded.

One night at an Ashram...
Got to Mathura and stayed at an Ashram for 1 night. There were MANY firsts that happened that night. All of which I don't want to experience again.
Never felt that cold.
Never had coal smoke killing my eyes. Also killing my lungs I am sure.
Never seen my fingers turning blue before.
Never seen SO MANY mosquitoes at one time in a room.
Never seen someone become an ace mosquito killer after just learning the art (my cousin from abroad). I guess he got a lot of targets to practice on.
Never had such a laugh seeing paste on the floor - our tap drain opened up over a drain on the floor instead of going into it.
Never slept in socks before.
Never though of not changing into my pjs because it was too cold to get out of my regular clothes.
Only one before have I slept (at night) in the same clothes I was wearing the whole day.
Never wished I was more exhausted so that I could fall asleep faster.

Fun Weddings
Now I didn't go crazy or anything but danced and sang more than any other wedding I have been at. Of course it helped that we were only 40-50 of us - all family or friends. No one looking at you, judging you, commenting on what you are wearing, being all hoitie toitie etc.
Also visited the Taj.
Did the whole 'choreographed dance on stage' routine again. This too was easier cause there weren't a million people going before or after who were brilliant so it didn't matter if we were good bad or just plain average.
No internet so no worries about work.
Stayed at a really nice hotel. Freedommmmmm sort of. Woke up when we liked (unless we had a ceremony or function or outing) and slept when we wanted.
Made new 'friends', met lots of people from Spain :) hehe I now have '3 houses' in Spain. Well at least for the sake of visiting, as in when on vacation.
Even ended up shopping a little too which is not common for me. Could also find good enough souvenirs for everyone. Cute little elephants (trunks raised) from Agra.
Had experiences I would not have even imagined - example - my fingers turning blue because of the cold.

Storytelling Rediscovered....
What a brilliant ad.
Unfortunately the video doesn't look as good as the commercial on the TV (don't know why - maybe just the sound and picture quality).

Another city...
Mumbai seems like a whole different city this winter. Every 2 out of 3 persons is wrapped up in a shawl, muffler, sweater, jacket, etc.
It's a little strange cause I never remember Mumbaites walking around like that :)
Of course it hasn't been so cold in decades.
Anyway I do hate the cold no matter what but getting home today, I couldn't help but smile cause the experience was so different.
Also as the train pulled in, I noticed that all windows in nearly all compartments were shut - again something very unusual. Of course it was a sight for sore eye :)
I finally own a sweater. The only sweater I had before was a school uniform sweater. I guess this new one I will be using tomorrow cause I don't want to come back home like I did today - thinking that my fingers and toes are going to fall of and my nose is going to turn to ice.
I feel bad for those people who can't get home and shut all the doors and windows and wrap themselves up in blankets. Living on the streets is one of the most terrible things in the world. If I prayed, I would have prayed for those living on the streets. I finally understand how people die in cold waves (and heat waves for that matter). It's really sad...

Happy New Year....
Ming, Ruiyu, Shuyi, TienLoon, Nico & James.
Chinese New Year I think is the coolest New Year - Celebrations go on for 7 days and everyone is on holiday :)

A specie disappears every 20 minutes....
Somewhere on your planet, a specie goes extinct every 20 minutes. You do the math... that's 3 every hour, 74 every day, and nearly 27,000 every year.

Most of us didn't know. Most of us won't care. Most of those who do care, will do little or nothing.
Let's not be indifferent to those who share this world with us. You don't donate all your money. You don't have to go to the Amazon Rainforest. You don't have to adopt an Orangutan.
Small changes can make big differences.
Turn off electrical appliances when they are not in use. Don't waste paper. Don't wear pure leather/fur. Don't waste water. Don't waste food. Get into a car pool. Use public transport if it is viable.
You won't save the earth, you won't save a specie but at least you won't waste. You won't pollute. You won't add to so much that is already wrong in this world.
