It’s Vinod Babaji, if you are into Indian / psychedelic music / kirtan look him up on YT/SoundCloud, it is incredible
Back to football posting as of tomorrow, things will get a lot more “normal” 😐

This was a few weeks ago outside a famous Baba’s all-night kirtan on fasting days… they basically lock you in and you’re there with mantra music until 4 am! What a trip it was

In the middle of all that, a swami who is also a dwarf gave a two-hour lecture in Hindi with no translation , so I just kind of sat there hoping for context clues like 😬😬😬

Tbh I’m scared, Vrindavan is a designated holy pilgrimage site so meat, eggs, and alcohol are illegal and there are only a few places to get real coffee so, I’ve barely had caffeine 😬😵
That thang gonna hit like crack lol

I haven’t had one in several weeks and I’m a little scared
Have a Celsius, you'll be good as new.

Just landed at MIA after leaving Vrindavan by cab like 31 hours ago, starting with a three-hour ride in Delhi and then two flights 🥲 everything hurts 🥲

Also I stayed in a temple, and “ice cream night” was always hilarious because it was prepared for mass service, so they’d cut it into slices from cardboard cartons and drop it on your metal plate, and then you’d have to try to eat the slice with your hands before it melted 🤪
Like 75% of the ice cream and cake there also seems to be flavored butterscotch, they love butterscotch
I ate so much awesome food in India but it’s funny how when you absolutely can’t have something, you think of it - I spent more time than I care to admit thinking about bagels, arepas, and trashy vegan junk food burgers

How I’m following the match from the airport since the lounge TVs only have cricket 😅 so far, so good

I’m in my cab to the Delhi airport with the Vrindavan driver we always use and we invited him to come visit, and he just said “donald tron, ahhhhhh!”

Just saw this in the alley

The perception of ethnicity and nationality is soooo contextual bc in miami everyone starts in Spanish bc they (correctly) hope im a generic white Latina…

But in Vrindavan, India a ton of people start talking to me in Russian 🤷‍♀️

I leave on Sunday and then unfortunately my posts will become much more mundane again :(

Nothing like haggling with the silver dealer on a Friday night

I just came out of this temple and a monkey was chewing my shoe 😩

This is my other one, Queens 2018! 😅😅

Honestly I feel like this is the equivalent of saying I saw the Buzzcocks play at that local auditorium or the Beatles at the Cavern Club lmao
As someone who volunteered for Zohran and remembers his football Twitter shitposting in this era, I have to say: what is going on lmao

The first time I got caught accidentally in a parade in Vrindavan like four years ago I almost cried from confused laughter but now I’m like, “oh it happened again” lol

One thing i really enjoy at least about this town in India is all the adorable children, and how they’re basically communal if you’re a woman 😅

The number of times I have been basically handed a baby while mom walks away and then I just… have a toddler or baby for a few lol

Amazinggggggg experience even better than Costa Rica actually. And am getting a crown replaced for 24,000 Rs rather than like $3500, I could cry.

… and now I have a tooth problem, but luckily I got an appointment at Lord Krishna Dental Clinic 🙏🙏

Vrindavan is testing me but I am trying to persevere 😅😅🙏

Following the Man City game from a temple, that’s probably bad but I have two religions I guess
