Only we don’t grow mustard…..(that becomes mustard oil, seeds and the leaves are eaten as a green vegetable usually mixed with spinach)

Sadhus-Sadhvi at a temple in sector 21, Gurgaon, India

Sadhu’s, Indias holy men, at a temple in sector 21 Gurgaon, India

 this was actually the first time I met a “holy woman” and I learned that she is called a sadhvi and I also met the sadhu with the longest hair I have ever seen. dreadlocks as long as he himself ! wow !

(sadhus-sadhvis are solely dedicated to achieving moksa,(liberation), the fourth and final asrama (stage of life) through meditation and contemplation of Brahman)

I hope you know that you can click on each of the pictures and have a look at each one individually.

Roadside lunch anyone ?

A  vegeterian roadside lunch.

Baked potato with lime and some black salt and a red carrot. The red carrots are so good! Just what I needed.

I didn’t have any white radish because my driver told me it gives you really bad breath ! Don’t think he wanted to have me in the car talking and smelling..hahaha

Sultanpur National Park,a bird sanctuary

The other day I was in much need of positive energy and at our other home I get that from nature so I decided to try the same here, so off I went to Sultanpur National park which is about a 40 minute drive from our home here in Gurgaon.

a two hour walk did give me some positive energy, some good pictures and some good exercise…not bad at all…

I do recommend to get to the park early, meaning when they open at 9. Bring some coffee and enjoy.
