Finally this blog can be resurrected again. Had planned to go last year but Saraswathi was away during my window to travel. I nearly could not make this year due to a bizarre ringing in my ear just 3 days before I was due to leave for Mysore. But all's well and I'm here.
Of course, there are always setbacks. The laptop I came with decided it's modem is going on strike the moment I used it in Gokulam. Was tempted not to blog but realised I can connect to the Internet through my phone - so all's not lost.
Even getting the wifi password was not spared of complications. First, the receptionist had to call HQ for the password. Then I heard "iPhone small dash connected" as the password. So I typed "iphone_connected"; when it did not worked, I typed "iphone-connected". No success, so tried "iPhone" in those configurations. But still did not work. Eventually realised she said "hyphen small dash". So we thought we were on the right track with "-connected" . After few tries with her making sure my fingers were pressing the right keys, she had to call. Finally, we were missing a 3 letter word before "-connected"!
Got myself registered at the shala. Thee's now chanting classes at the shala on Mondays, Weds and Fridays. Was tempted but found out they don't include teaching the meaning behind the words. So, being lazy me, I opted out of it. Tomorrow is moonday so no practice. So my first practice will be Aug 30. And my start time is 5am shala time!

Wonderful to read that you're back.
I wish you an inspiring stay. I'm looking forward to your posts, so keep blogging....:)
Thanks, Ursula. Wish u lots of happy practices, too. Any plans to go to Mysore soon?
Not yet. I even think to go to Rishikesh. There are good opportunities to practice Asthanga yoga, too. I'd love to see a bit more from India. But who knows, perhaps it's Mysore again. It's safe.
Happy time for you.
I hear Rishikesh is very spiritual and beautiful. I look forward to reading about your trip there. :)
