Cows are still hanging streetside in Pune!



Whew.   The cows may not be hanging out in the streets near the Iyengar Institute, but they are still around town.     I woke up at 5am ravenous (but without my camera) and while I was searching for chai, I did see a gigantic hog in the hood and a random chicken walking around....later in the day, when I was closer to Laxmi Road, the central shopping district, I saw this fellow and a few of his cow friends hanging out along with a couple of long-horned goats.    Truthfully, I'm a bit relieved.....India is still India, even with it's new found wealth!

I registered at the Institute this morning and am lookng forward to the practice session at 9am tomorrow.   I've been given the "Geeta" schedule (hurrah! hurrah!), meaning most of my classes will be with Geeta Iyengar in the evenings.

  1. Hi Karen,

    I'm so excited that you drew the "Geeta" schedule. Your practise and your dedication to your yoga deserves the best that the Iyengar Institute has to offer. Glad you didn't get stuck in Queens. I guess all of your items (blocks, cooker, foods) arrived in India with you? Watch out for those cockroaches. Don't bring any eggs home in your belongings. Those suckers do that you know. This blog is the first I've ever joined. How Fun!!!

  4. Susan here ... it's great to read of your adventures. Too bad the American life style has corrupted so many other countries. Although I've heard it's not the sole property of America. Some European countries are just as bad, and they came up with it all by themselves !

    Hope you are enjoying the classes and learning a lot.
