lazy (?) Sunday

The day started with some “off” time at the hotel pool. it was cozy and calm until the Italians invaded the territory. Finally came the ugly and old German, who took the stretcher next to me – thats when I had to leave for the tranquility of the air-conditioned hotel room.

After noon I walked of towards the Aga Khan Palace were Gandhi was interned. From there I tool the 3 wheeler to Osho a visit. Unfortunately the “Purple cloaks” wouldn't let anybody into the Ashram. If they don't want to – hey I don't beg for meditation courses with those people.

Walked some of the streets of  Koregaon Park, and some side-streets over there. Luckily i made it out of the “suburbs” again – actually it wasn't really dangerous but just dirty and shocking.

Seen the elephant again – roaming the streets – the holy animal had a swastika on its forehead – i know its an ancient Hindu symbol – just an awkward experience.

After a couple of kilometers waking the roads of Pune, I had enough and went back to the hotel.
