Growing.

I woke this morning to a tiny patch of blue sky peeking through the relentless monsoon cloud cover. I sat by my window like a little flower, soaking it up.

Another long week, but I'm off for the next three days (India is celebrating it's Independence Day on Tuesday). I've decided to visit a little city called Pune for the weekend. I'm staying at a "meditation resort." The resort has a multi-acre zen garden, conducts meditation classes (including one on dancing as a form of meditation), and serves all organic food. I'm really looking forward to it.

India is on high terror alert for the next five days as the US warned India of an impending attack, likely to occur in Mumbai or Delhi before or on Independence Day. They specifically noted airports and hotels as likely targets. Which is lucky for me because I'm rarely in either.

I had a great week at work this week. It's been a long time since my brain has really felt challenged. It made me miss school a bit...when your brain is constantly absorbing and growing.

I received an email from my mom yesterday and it made me so happy. Hi Mom!

I shaved my head for the last time tonight. (A collective sigh of relief sounds from India to the United States).

Time for bed. I'm hoping there's some blue sky in Pune.
