back to sanity...

well...how to best describe it is a challenge....10 days of pure torcher...

the "ideal" vipassana time table was:

4:30-6:30 am-meditation
6:30-7:15-b'fast
8-11-meditation
11-11:45-lunch
1-5pm-meditation
5-5:30-meditation
6-7-meditation
7-8:30-discourse
8:30-9-meditation
9:30-lights out
"ideal" because this is what we were supposed to do.....u must be kidding me....ended up bunking as much as i cud...
the funda behind the meditation is that same as what buddha did and became enlightened...u r required to concentrate on and observe the sensations throughout ur body and observe them...by that logic...most of us were concentrating on just the ass and the back...gosh...did they become stiff :-)
the place...igatpuri in nashik....is simply AWESOME.....one realises this even when u r on the highway....the lush green farma...the greean western ghats....the fantastic climate....it just rocked...perhaps the only thing apart from food that kept us going...
coming to food.....after I left delhi....all i have come across in pune is ridiculous food with evrything ended up being made sweet....igatpuri was a revelation...the food was simple but so damn tasty. We used to get the worlds best butter milk and fruits daily....prolly worth going back just for the food.
vipassana lead to a lot of introspection.....made a list of "things u shud know about me"...will put it up soon....
