Mon, 23rd

The weather here is incredible. I wake up naturally around 5 to the sound of the dw-rain falling from the trees. Rising at about 6:30, the grounds are covered in the settling mists. As I practice yoga, the mists clear, giving way to the rising sun. It is the winter season now in Tamil Nadu, and the nights are quite cool. As the morning sun climbs in the sky, heating the day, the temperature becomes perfect, seriously perfect. The air is thick and hot, permeated by the passing fragrance of local flora. As the day wanes and the heat passes, the mosquitoes come out to greet us and the birds sing their twilight songs. Evening is cool and quiet here and the night time is filled with foreign sounds of bird and beast.
