Acceptance in Rishikesh
God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference. I never thought that the prayer used in Alcoholics Anonymous would become the focus of our stay at the Parmeth Niketan ashram in Rishikesh.

Descent into D‘hell’i

RamblingDuo
After teaching English in Geoje, South Korea for 13 months, we hope to spend the better part of a year exploring South Asia. Our “itinerary” is purposefully vague and the only certainty is that we aim to remain uncertain. Like our travels, the plan for this blog is fluid – hence rambling. We’ll post stories, photos, [...]
