jagged little pill

Back on the east coast. It is so humid, I am sweating like in a dream. I had forgotten how humid it can get. Tomorrow there is a snake boat race which is apparently a big event. They will show some dancing and live performances along with the competition. Sonija Ghandi is invited to the party as well. She is Italian and she is a minister. Awesome! People seem to love her here. My hotel bedroom is a cell with a bed and a metal desk. Toilets are shared. Im hoping to find somebody to share a house boat for Sunday night to sail through the canal system and sleep under the stars (the price is quite high) and on Monday I wanna go to Amma's ashram. Amma is a lady guru famous for hugging her devotees. Apparently she can hug more than a thoudand every blessing session. Im quite close to the tip of the continent. I'll head there soon to watch the sun rising on the Bengal sea and set on the Arabian sea while Indian is watching. So far so good. Roger.
