Stomach is filled with potatoes, tumuric, wheat tortillas and black tea with milk. No the most nutritious but it is satisfying to some degree. Today was a hindi holy day, where we blessed all of the machinery. I know…sounds random but that is what is done. It is a day to bring on the wealth and good luck. The staff called me downstairs to take a look. They had a whole spread of bananas, sweet fruit, coconut, red and yellow powders, candles, incense, sweet rolls, and more. They ring the bells and sprinkle powder, rice, and stick it on all items with sugar water or curd. They blessed everything from kitchen knives to our gaurdsmen’s bicycle. A classic moment. Then they blessed each one of us by placing a red dot on our forehead. I was apparently wished to find a nepali husband!! Vacation mindset is in the air. With one more week until the desain 10 day break, people are distracted and walking around with a bounce in their feet.
