in paris

left sunday & reached grey paris in two hours and it has been grey ever since...floy the musician with whom i am staying was moaning oh india where you wake up every day and the sun is shining......

she lives a two minute walk fron the subway in the outerskirts of central paris; It is a studio apt, one room with a bed, open cupbard comp table..... the kitchen is compact ... must be 4 ft by 4 ft it has fridge under é burner stove, a washing machine oven there is just enuf space for one person to stand... she pays a rent of 600 euros about 40000 rs. she has rented it from a lady for 3 months..... everything was here she came with a suitcase..the girl from whom she has rented has gone off for 3 months....... nice concept

sat in an opencafe and had coffee..... paris is nice thataway lots of people on the street and people of all colours.....

Got a 7 day metro and bus pass and just hop into and out of buses so have just been driving all around. Yesterday went to Louvre; in the glass pyrimid; in that movie ....... got so tired in the bookstore and walking in the pyrmid....... so many people....... i shall go on friday inside..... then went to the eiffel tower......

being in a home is sort of nice... i went and bought bacquette (long bread) and cheese and pate, which i really like and lettuce to make my sandwiches....... a euro is approx 90 rs....... and thats the main thing that you get.......

floy is going to berlin on the 14th to do mixing on her new album but i can stay on in the flat. I went through a difficult time yesterday wondering if i should go to my freinds at brittany earlier or experience being in a foreign city by myself. As usual my two minds, this no that......was surfing finding trains....... lawrence freind in brittany said someone is driving down on the 20th which means that i will have less time in brittany but will be able to be there for saptah.....

confused as usual, and then freind and guru bandhu linda who is in US now, she tayed at my place in pune came on line and we chatted..... listening or reading my ups and downs she repeated some words of maharaj......firstly not to identify with the mind; who is it that decides, and to just take every opportunity to be a gift, that this was an opportunity to live in an apt in a gorgeous city and drive down ;; how fantastic she said you will have the space to just explore and then go for a three day saptah....... my mood lifted at once. no anxiety or confusion

will not have a comp and will try and find a cybercafe......... alls well, take care
