kabhi khushie kabie gham (sometimes happy sometimes sad)

So our friends, we are sorry about the outcome of the election, as all of you I am sure are. If you are not, you are reading the wrong blog, this is not Hickbillmcgee's weblog. Well I leave it all to those who can do something about it figure it out. But a leaving thought on political issues; if you consider Osama to be evil because he has commanded the death of at most 5,000 people so far, where is Bush's tally at?
Some good news though, there seems to be an offer from the Turkish government for my paid military service so it is very likely that I will not have to go to military service. Again, if you think this is bad news, you are looking at the wrong blog! So to celebrate we decided to move into a nice room. After leaving our room in Rishikesh at 10 we started for Haridwar. It was Bengali season in Haridwar so all the hotels where full. We had hoped to get a room in this art deco style hotel that used to belong to the king of Nepal, ooohh. Well the ganga in Haridwar was also not as roaring as in Rishikesh, so we decided to head back. After six hours we moved into the Suite at Green Hotel, 50 yards from our previous. There we enjoyed ourselves much. I took a bathe in the ganga so all my sins were washed off but today it is me again.

let me add an admission of guilt. it is my own judgmental attitude that caused me to make my puerile remark regarding the "hippies." for the record, i apologise to all those folks out there and those who identify themselves with this group.
