Wednesday 21st July

Bear necessities.
Found out today that ''Baloo'' is Punjabi for 'Bear'.
This pleases me greatly and causes me to believe life is now complete.
Also, we're surrounded by what are meant to be called banyan trees but we all know they are really 'Junglebook trees'.

Verevaumnumnum....
Veeravaram is a really cool place, it's part of some tribal reserve thing to promote traditional crafts and living styles. Every time someone says the name they just sort of trail off and it's not something I can pronounce but hey, doesn't stop the thatched mud and clay huts being super cool.
All the Christadelphians here are women and they seem so strong in faith and living the word of God in a simple and practical way. I think spending some (some) time her would do anyone a world of good.

17 years without you all.
Dr. Edwin-Arthur gave a talk today concerning the benefits of being a vegetarian. It was more practical than spiritual and offered some interesting pointers based both on his medical knowledge and examples from the Bible.
Many women weren't there as they were working in the fields so they missed the fact that Seventh-day Adventists, all of whom are vegetarians, live, on average, 17 years longer than 'normal' people due, in large part, to their healthy veggi diets!
Or maybe I'll live to see 930..!

No, not the Maaza!
Maaza is a delicious sickly sweet mango drink sold across India. My stomach has being aching for a few days and Edwin suggested that I stay off the Maaza as lots of people are allergic to mangoes and don't realise it..! =S
