You may recall the photos I posted of the structure being built across the street from flat where I was staying in Pune. One of my room mates sent me this picture yesterday.

You can see that it’s still not complete – the bamboo scaffolding on the right side and the piles of sand inside the gate. I suppose it makes sense it wouldn’t be finished yet. After all, everything is done by hand – no machinery.

The people sitting outside the entry are coconut vendors waitiing there for students to leave the Institute (which is across and slightly down the street). They sell coconuts – bang a hole in the top, insert a straw & there you have fresh (safe to drink) coconut milk.

One of my yoga friends took a picture of me there drinking from a fresh coconut, but almost 6 months later, I’m still waiting for that picture. She lives in Riverside and attends San Diego classes sometimes, so I’ll get her to send that picture one day and will post it.

Blogged on my iPad with LOVE.
