Ok, so its not 68 days yet - but by the time i get on a plane to go back to Canada, it will have been.....
I should have said - what an amazing 365 days, coz for the past year, life has truly been a celebration. Every day brought fresh new surprises and amazing people and situations into my life. It has not necessarily been easy, but it has definately been too much fun!!
I landed a day before Guruji's Birthday, and we had an awesome satsang and prasad at our local Sanatan Dharma Temple for HIS Birthday. It was good catching up with everyone and seeing everyone.
The next month was a blur - we had a great course at Kamiti prison - see some experiences here http://www.youtube.com/user/ShreyaYES - still have to translate and caption the videos, and then meetings and intro-talks etc etc... was socialising and catching up with all my family at the same time. So every moment everyday was preciously used.
Anyway - took some time to attend a friend's wedding. IT WAS AWESOME!!! normally i dont enjoy them too much, its too much indulgence in everything and makes me ill by the end of it. This wedding was short, sweet, to the point and the food was also balanced and not ridiculously unhealthy and rich - the family was happy and not tired all the time and EVERYONE really enjoyed the wedding and all the functions. It was for once a perfect Indian wedding, not too much and not too little.
For the hen night we went to Sunbird Lodge - i give it 7 stars!!! Amazing place to go relax and catch up with friends. Awesome sceneries from every cottage and Lake Elmentaita was FULL of flamingos, it was soooo pink. We saw great game at Lake Naivasha Game Reserve....every time i make a trip out of Nairobi, the beauty of Kenya stuns me more and more......we have so much natural bueaty and wildlife here....i wish we looked after it better...
Anyway came back and had some great intro-talks, made some good contacts and had a YES+ course organised out of it. It happened at the Gurudwara in Brookside. At the same time we had a 2 day refresher course going on and a Breath Water Sound course going on in Kwangware area. It was a great week and weekend, very busy, but there is nothing better in the world than being busy doing what you love to do, you never feel any tiredness and can keep on going! Really, ask me... ; )
Since then my partner in crime Nimo left to go back to her home far far away....so our chill time at Zen Garden also was no more... (seriously try the chai tea latte there!) Its where we would go and plan our next course, or action plan. So of course, something exciting has now come up.....I AM GOING TO SOUTH AFRICA FOR THE WORLD CUP. In case you didnt know it from my facebook, you do now! I am excited....and very very greatful to an extremly generous cousin who i have not met in the longest time for doing this for me. Yes, there are still people like this on the planet, and i am related to one, actually i am related to many of them : ) So off i go to S.A and will be posting the next blog once i am back....
In my cousin's honour - i'll post a pic he took during the opening game...JGD.
