Well, as quick as things can come together, they can fall apart. Actually they can fall apart much faster than they come together.

At any rate, I spent several days at a local highschool here in Mahilpur, took on a few classes each of those days, and figured out that right now I do not have what it takes to teach classes to young folks here in India. Having come to that realization and communicated it to my host, my welcome here in connection with him has been withdrawn and tomorrow I move on.

I'm a bit bummed out by that... I was just getting excited to have an apartment to rent for a couple months to use as a base for other adventures in Punjab. Sadly the apartment in question was arranged through my host so I'll have to try to find another. Anyway, I may return to Mahilpur... it's a nice little town. I wouldn't mind spending time here. For now though I must head out so although in reality I guess I have endless options, I think I've narrowed my focus to:
a) visiting Amritsar again and staying at the Golden Temple.
b) visiting friends near Hoshiarpur and then sitting or serving a 10 day meditation course from Feb 10th - 21st.

Of those two I'm leaning toward 'b'.

We'll see what happens eh? Never can tell...
