Some Good Things

1.) it rained today - hard and long, the sky was almost black. the road flooded with water and mud, but it was kind of fun. all my coworkers clustered in thedoorway watching. the regal vahasendra tucking up her long sari and belining for her car.


2.) accupressure and massage. the doctor cracked my elbow!! it hurt for a second but i might help - keep your fingers crossed. the chinese-indian lady who did my massage and stretching is really nice. i think she likes me. the stretching was really tough, but again i think needed. she knows my body now i think better than does my husband!!!! ... to be fair, better than i know my own, i think.

western doctors have been so frustrating - for one thing, the back specialist and pt in particular hardly even touched me! x-rays, nerve conduction studies yes. but good ol' fashioned palpation, not at all.

anyway. the massage/clinic is my favorite place in delhi. good music, too.


3.) coming home from massage near nightfall through the river of the street in my "enclave"- i love being out at night. it is a rare treat for me here.


4.) taj mahal tomorrow... we will see how that goes!
