This morning I got up and left the comfy confines of the hotel to go for a walk. One of my colleagues said that this hotel was in a posh district, and seeing so many poor people outside the hotel, I couldn't understand that. But I saw how the other half lives on my walk. The district is called Koregaon Park. It's where Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh's meditation retreat compound (Osho) is. I didn't see that today - I didn't have my bearings and missed it. I'll walk by tomorrow, perhaps. Many gated wealthy homes. 5-10 cars parked in the driveway of one, for example. Beautiful, fragrent flowers. I think I could actually manage to get out for a run there. Maybe soon. TTFN.

I mentioned this area when we spoke. You'll see quite a few anglos on the street wearing flowing red robes. They move there and join "The OSHO Institute". There's usually a queue of people waiting to get inside and see for themselves where the Bagwhan spent his money.
Inside, anyone wearing a red robe may have sex with anyone else wearing a red robe, no kidding. OSHO
Go in, take a days "Meditation" :)
By all means, get a massage when you are there. And I don't mean an OSHO massage. But get a recommendation first. When I was there, there was a guy who had a hut on top of the building that had the Bakery that everyone (western) would go to. Cheap, and very relaxing!
Thanks for reminding me of my visit to Pune!
Due to recent health issues, I have to pass on the massage idea, but thanks for the suggestion, Jim
