Pune, Here We Come!

While Sharon and I, the only two going to the Osho Ashram from the tour, traveled, I received a call from my new web designer (who happens to live in Pune) Nikhil, saying that he would pick us up at the Pune airport and that he would arrange for a place for us to stay.

I felt so taken care of. And by the way, he took care of everything beautifully. What a doll! Sharon and I shared a penthouse apartment including a huge patio for the time we shared in Pune. This apartment was located one block from the ashram. How cool!

When we settled in, I thought we should get some food etc. so we walked down to the famous German Bakery area and I ran into my great friend and Butterfly from Florida (via Colorado and Pune), India - that's her name. We had not seen each other for over a year and there she was standing on the corner calling my name. I almost cried I was so happy to see her.

Then after we shopped, we ran into my friend Ashiq from Kashmir who did Reiki on me last year after I had had a fight with someone in my hotel. He gave us rides home on his motorcycle and said he would clear my energy. Who could ask for anything more? And he did. He took off all the stress from running a tour and trying to please everyone while teach in such a foreign place.

I can say one thing for sure. When I arrive in India I feel home. When I arrive in Pune, I feel like I have lived here for years. I feel as familiar with Koregon Park as I do with Cleveland Park in DC. I lived there for 20 years. That's saying something.
