January 25 Pondy

Up early to get to the Bureau for 6:30 AM. On the way I notices 4 people sleeping on the road. This is normal, and the road was not busy. One guy was lying in bed on the road checking his cell phone. I found the Bureau of Information, and got a coupon for meals at the Ashram. ( 40Rupees or about 80c Can for three meals today ). I went to breakfast and actually got a table. Many folk sit on the floor on a very tiny stool to eat. The meal was a very small Indian banana ( half the size of Canadian ones) boiled milk in a bowl with some cocoa in it....no cup, just bring it to your mouth, a stainless steel bowl of porridge 1" deep, and a wedge of brown bread. You have a spoon with butter to spread on the bread, no knife. Simple. I will prefer the free breakfast at the Guest house with omelette and coffee and toast.

Yoga practice and meditation and an early night. However I got Delhi Belly, and had to head to the pharmacy for medicine. So early to bed. I will take all meals at the Guest House as the food is good.
