Finally made it to Pune

I arrived in Pune on the 30th of December, but I have been so sick, I barely left my room. Luckily I was staying at a very fancy hotel so they took really good care of me including letting me use their office for internet yesterday for free. I stayed in bed for two days. That's right. I spent New Year's Eve in my bed solitary. No problem. I figured I really did not come to India to find a big party. That was easy enough. I could have partied, but I spent the time recovering from a 24 hour bug. The only time I came out of my room was to be in communication with you.

Anyway, today I moved next to the Osho Ashram. I went over there to register, but they close down for lunch time. India does that often. So, I found my way to the famous German Bakery and then found this internet cafe. I will return to the ashram for my aids test and my welcome and to buy my maroon robes shortly.

By the way, I caught the Times Square Ball going down this morning on TV. It made me feel like I was bilocated. India is 10 hours ahead so it really was live while I watched.

I will continue to keep you posted about my experiences at the ashram as they unfold.

Much love & success in the new year,
Laurie
