Scattering Ashes
15 Jan: The Washington Post. We asked readers where they would like their
ashes scattered. Alison Lemon Wadhwani of Washington wrote: "Goa, India,
is where I'd like my ashes scattered. I'm a yoga teacher who also happens to
be married to an Indian man. Naturally, I was thrilled to have the
opportunity to visit India. After sharing the streets of Bombay with 14
million other people, my husband and I flew to Goa to spend a few days
unwinding ... I discovered an even deeper love for my husband during that
trip. We practiced yoga each morning under the cover of palm trees with the
sound of birds overhead ... I'd like to think that leaving the remains of my
physical body in such a serene place would help my soul find peace as well."
Goa for the Yoga
14 Jan: The Courier-Mail (Brisbane, Aus.). By Sarah Dawson. It was my
first time to Goa and I had come on a yoga holiday where I hoped to combine
yoga with the great outdoors, indulging in delicious Goan cuisine, massage,
exercise and the stimulation of India. The seven-day yoga course was to
take place at Pepper Valley ... Our accommodation was rustic bamboo-style
huts ... We learnt some basic Goan dishes including how to prepare their
famous spicy pepper sauce. My stay in Goa had been the most rejuvenating two
weeks I could remember. 966 words.
