"make a decision from a position of knowledge, not a position of ignorance"

So! today was a bit of a break from the norm - we actually did something and it wasn't teaching or planning! Lol!

Not that we are tired or anything...

Sanajana - if I haven't posted of her before she is a friend of a friend of a friend of Jon's - promise it isn't that complicated - took us to the Lotus Temple, a Baha'i House of Worship, away from the tourist times for morning prayers. It was beautiful and so peaceful inside. It is in the shape of a Lotus flower and built partly of marble - in the morning haze it was a spectacle to behold!

We then went on to a Personal Development course that she had invited us to in the Baha'i House in the centre of Delhi - also set in really beautiful grounds. It was a bit of a hit or miss thing for all of us because we didn't know much about it, but actually it was really interesting. The man was Baha'i but it had something for people of any religion or athiestic beliefs. It was certainly something different from what I had been doing in Delhi up until this point. Anyway, despite leading Sanjana round a bit of a wild goose chase getting Jon phone cards and petrol and stuff, it was a great day and we promised to thank her with dinner after the course completion on Saturday - she really was great!

And from her we went to Freedy and Kiran's house to yet more amazing Indian hospitality. Despite turning up late, being held up by big Hindu weddings causing the traffic to become choc-a-blok, we went over for dinner. They really make you eat and don't take no for an answer! Like really! It was great fun, though Freddy, bless him, was exhausted. They really must work so hard that pair, it is riduculous that they spend time with us. But it is so much appreciated!

Anyway I am up here now, waiting for Orlagh's plane to arrive in (at 1.25 AHHHHHHHHH!) and then off to Zakhira for a new week. I really like Zakhira and can't wait to see the kids - and learn a bit mroe Hindi of course! Peace friends,
