"When you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break their bonds: Your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and you find yourself in a new, great, and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be." - Patanjali

The inventory

Right now I'm in Pushkar, most famous for the Camel Fair which occurs in October. I first caught a bus from Bundi to Ajmer and then another for the short trip to here.

I stayed at Hotel Poonam last night and this morning moved to Hotel Khanhiya, which does NOT have a TV.

I did a bit of shopping and picked up some socks(only wear shoes in India, cos I don't want cracked feet by the time I go back, and that it's easy to step in anything), and some Rupa Frontlines (if you know what I mean), bringing the playing XI to about 7.

I also have about six t-shirts, four jumpers (which is way too many!), a big Nike jacket, three trousers (jeans, and two cargo pants adjustable to be shorts or thee-quarters), a pair of shorts, some Johnson and Johnson baby wipes, a large scrolled map of India, and heaps of cables and wires for my PDA, camera and phone.

Thanks to Malaysian Airlines, I have a thin blanket (which always goes between me and the hotel-issue blankets), and a mini pillow. Asteron had a whole bunch of St.John Ambos medical kit which I supplemented with some local pills, which, inshallah, I may not need to use.

So that's the inventory thus far.

By the way this is the dribble I produce when given too much time!
