My routine is quite gentle. I awake in the morning at about 6am, and seem to be in a state of paralysis, and so I wait for about an hour until I can move. I then take a cup of hot water to kick start the bowel evacuation and digestive track. I now add a pinch of salt as I was informed by a friend that as we are electrical, it is important to maintain our salinity to promote full function of the synapses. So far this seems to be working well. It is my intention to be well here, and to this end that is exactly what is happening. Apart from deep rooted conditions, which I am going to have a consultation with Dr. Chauhan, and avail myself of the therapeutic treatments here that will help me balance my body/constitution, etc.
I then shave and shower, and such arrangements are also quite different. The bathroom is as follows: Spacious room containing flushing sit-down toilet, wash basin with hot/cold taps, small water heater/geyser on the wall, shower head, and two other taps/faucets, a large plastic bowl/bucket, and a small plastic jug. There is also another small plastic jug by the other tap close to the floor by the toilet for those who just love the traditional Indian way. I turn the hot water tap on for the shower, I wait, and eventually there is a trickle of water. I turn on the cold water tap. The trickle gets stronger. Now depending on the water pressure, there may be a trickle and there may be less or more of a trickle. It depends on what, I am not sure.
If there is nothing then I resort to the large bowl/bucket and fill that up from the other set of taps, and this is quite good, because I am in control, and with the use of the small jug I can pour water over me and really have some fun, because I am not worried whether the shower trickle may stop or not. As a kid I loved to play in water, and now I still love to play in water. This works. You just have work out your system. Everything is working well. Not exactly how I want it, but then I am learning to flow, am I not???
My bed is very comfortable, and my room is equally so. The people in whose home I live are the most precious and loving people I have met. I really am enjoying my stay here. The cleaning lady who cleans the house is also the washing service. She washes the clothes for the family outside in the back. I have been invited to have my clothes washed by this delightful lady at cost of 250 rupees per month. That is about $6 or maybe a little less.
