Right now I'm in an internet cafe near Neah's family condo in Benaulim. Tomorrow afternoon I leave for Pune (Poona) where B.K.S. Iyengar teaches. B.K.S. Iyengar is the person credited with popularizing Hatha Yoga in the West, and Iyengar yoga is the style. Unfortunately he's stopped teaching since he's 88, but I hope to take an Iyengar style yoga class or two there before I get back on the train and head up to Mumbai on my way to Delhi.
Note: I think I may have forgotten to mention that Mumbai and Bombay are the same place. As part of the Indian Nationalist movement, many place names are being changed to sound more Indian. This gets very confusing at times---especially when it comes to streets---because sometimes people still use the anglicized versions, and maps usually only list the official names for everything.
