4 March, Wednesday. A nice talk with Toni (H.E.-owner) on the phone.
Breakfast at the Real Coffee place and to the Internet where I updated again 4 days. Sad to read that Rita2 has a tummy bug.
Back at 14.00 for Samadhi and again it feels good. It is my last day of the workshops, but then Sagar invited me for tomorrow morning for one more technique he wants to teach me, a yoga technique which he says is very powerful. “Rebirth” and it gives you a lot of energy and strength.
After learning this technique we will have breakfast together.
I will include the program of the OM Family in the trip for the people who are interested (either to do yoga, Reiki (you can become a Master), healing or one of the many other workshops.
15.00 on my balcony sitting in the sun while working on the travel photo album.
18.00 time to go to H.E., chatting with Sanu, Asta and Rohit. Dinner and after dinner coffee and back up to the room to write in my diary.
From 20.00 the power was on, so I worked on the diary until 23.00.
Still my laptop is ‘playing’ with me. I think my old lady wants to retire. Good thing I did not spend any money on a new battery, but will use that money now to buy a new laptop. I will have a look in Bahrain at the airport. I am interested in the ‘pocketsize laptop. I know it is just a ‘travel’ laptop, but with keeping the oldie as a back up and using the ‘little one’ for my diary work on theUSB stick – and only internet connection it should do the trick.
The little one fits in my handbag, at home with a battery that works a few hours I do not need to sit inside to do my work. I can use different UBS-sticks for different jobs: 1 for website, emails and 1 to work on my book.
Another decision made: not to rewrite my book, but to use my writing of this year. It will not end up in as many pages as first planned (which will make the publishing cheaper). I realised that nobody needs/wants yet another travel guide, there are plenty of them available: The Lonely Planet, The Insight Guide, just to mention two out of a long list.
I believe I will have more interested buyers if I write a different kind of book: Nepal, destination or destiny. An ‘insight’ of a 6 weeks travel to Nepal.
I will copy and paste the 3 weeks itinerary as an example how the first encounter for people who want to visit Nepal can look like. By reading my book, they will get an impression about the country, the people, the style of life, the places of interest and the options to do activities, adventure, including being a ‘volunteer’.
For more detailed information I will refer in the back of the book to other travel guides and give a list of websites.
Why to use my energy and more paper to provide information that is already available for every one?
A personal comprehensive ‘example’ how a 3 weeks tour to Nepal can look like.
Just on my way out this morning Gomaya called me on the phone. It was Toni, owner of Himalayan Encounters, who is at the moment in Nuwakot. It was great to hear him again. He is spending a lot of his time in Nuwakot lately, also confronted with a body that is telling him to stop running and working around the clock. He is in his late 50’s, time to slow down and enjoy life. In the course of our conversation he got interested to hear more about my experiences of this year visit and my plans for next year. He could not really promise to be in Kathmandu when I am there, but we finished our talk with his more enthusiastic comment then when we started, that for sure he is going to try to bend his ‘schedule’ as much as possible to be able to spend a few hours in Kathmandu to continue our conversation. I felt like we could talk for a few days to share each others opinion about living life, living in Nepal, about so many subjects. I really hope we will be able to meet. If for one reason or another it will not work out, I will use the old fashion way: to put my thoughts, reflections and ideas on paper and to sent it by mail to him, so he can read it in his own pace, sitting in his garden in nuwakot, to give it time to sink in and write me his thoughts and opinions, point of view.
Which again is a way of ‘meditation’ for the both of us.
Peri betonlah = see you tomorrow.
Love and 24 hugs
Rita Sanghita
