Just been to sort things for departure, like buying a trunk to store stuff in that won't be leaving Mysore - speakers, bedding etc.

Leaving Wednesday, first to Bangalore to drop mum off to her flight early Thursday morn. Will be seeing her (and sis) a month or so later in Australia. Gotta love these multi month holidays.

After that I will be heading to Tamil Nadu, further south, where up in the cool and verdant Palani Hills the place known as Bodhi Zendo is to be found. I will be there for a couple of weeks, maybe longer, then I plan to make my way to Goa. But you know what they say about plans.
