05.02 "Clean"(Depeche Mode)/"My Sweet Lord"(George Harrison)

Asia

India

Rishikesh

The song "Clean" refers to the purification process Basia and I had early today. 

Basia suffered from vomiting and diarrhea several times during the night which, accompanied by the other monthly purification that reproducive-able females suffer, made her morning quite miserable :(

On my side, I voluntarily submitted myself to a stomach cleaning procedure that involved drinking about 2.5 liters of salty water and then induce vomiting

(Warning: graphic image follows) :P

I have the vomit reflex poorly developed, so I am sure I did not vomit all I drank… in cue to confirm my belief, less than an hour later I had diarrhea. 

"…now I'm clean…" ):)

Later Basia started feeling better; at breakfast we had Peace guarding our door…

… and Basia almost completely recovered after a couple of naps and garlic bread

I left the room for 5 minutes; when I returned, I had to penetrated a wall of garlic smell! :)

Later that evening I saw a Hare Krishna and that reminded me of George Harrison and The Beatles and that in a couple of days we'll visit the corpse of the Ashram where The Beatles composed their self-titled album, also known as The White Album because… it was all white ;) 

The second song of the day is a beautiful inspired melody that balances the darkness of the first song; you can hear both here:
