Woke up at 4am and went to Bandipur National Park, fed baby monkeys and elephants. Went to Gopala Swamy temple on a mountain & hiked. Bliss.

|
| Just returned from a night & day in Mysore for Ganesh Mathurti's birthday/holiday. Got a massage, went go-karting (won), ate amazing food :) |
|
| Went to the zoo. Climbed 1000 steps to a temple. Ordered two tailored shirts made from handmade silk. Ate at The Cave in Pai Vista. |
|
| Received my first paycheck in the real world. India taxes me 34%! That could feed at least 1-lākh starving children for a day. |
|
| Had a delicious BoilerMaker at the Purple Haze in Mysore. Got to know some Brits. |
|
| Watching the monsoon flood. Up to the first step in less than an hour! |
|
| Being electrocuted by the frayed cord of your iron while ironing: fire hazard? |
|
| Ate & drank like a king for $10 in Mysore last night. The Purple Haze is fun and rickshaws are the amusement park ride of transportation. |

| Watched my first Baliwood flick in theater. The hardworking, honest protagonist vies with treacherous playboy antagonist for a woman's love. |
|
| Delhi Belly! |
|
| Getting sick for the first time. They told me it was unavoidable. I woke up about 10 times last night. :( |
|
| Grew a food baby! Meat. Cheese. Cheese. Meat. Bacon bacon bacon sausage. Booze. Bacon wrapped booze. We don't get any of those goodies here. |
|
| After work I went to yoga, meditation, dinner, then socialized for a while. I better start eating more selectively before I grow a food baby |
|
| Had my first day of work today. It ran a bit long, 8:30 to 6:30. Mostly just administration and induction formalities. Show me the mmmmoney! |
|
| Been awake for 17 hours; 4 or 5 to go. Played ultimate frisbee, lifted weights, rowed a 2km on erg, raged on elliptical, played squash. |
|
| I am seriously jet lagged, wide awake at 2:30a.m. after sleeping the afternoon and evening away. I decided to start reading Walden; in awe. |
|
| My ankle and foot swelled up to enormous proportions during the 14 hours from Frankfurt to Mysore. I got a haircut and a shave for $1 today. |
|
| Had the best of luck on the flight. Was seated by a gorgeous French girl whom I hit on for the last few hours of the flight. Great fun! |
