Indian Doppelganger

Some of the Multi girls think that I look like this famous man named John Abraham (white version). I am not so sure.

I am starting to feel a bit better although I have lost a lot of weight and look very skinny. I have had three days rest and been put on some antibiotics. Next week I may take on some less physical tasks to ease into farm work again.

I have been thinking a lot while stuck in bed and made a few decisions about when I return home. One of the decisions is to complete an unfinished project. A few years ago I enjoyed making a few electric guitars. The most well crafted one was the bass guitar that I started first. It is also the only one I didn't finish.

I stopped the project during a busy time where a lot of things in my life were changing. Strangely it came into my mind here in India. I think I would like to finish it firstly so I can use it, but secondly as a symbol to myself of completion. I think I must have spent over 200 hours between 2007 and 2009 carving it out of different woods. This is the only picture I have with me:

Anyway back to India. The plan is to eat lots of safe food at Mukti and try to put on weight. On Saturday we will have a visit to Pune to see different markets and on Monday my Australian tour friends leave me at Mukti on their way home.

Elsa and Alan from Queensland who have been living here since November are staying on until the 8th March. A lot of the Indian staff here have been really great so I am not worried about becoming the only Aussie here.
