Our 2 hr. flight from the East coast at Chennai to Delhi was easy and a taxi from our tour people picked us up at the airport and dropped us at our hotel- Bloom Rooms- came highly recommended by a pal from home and I was glad to finally get a peek at this place.
It is a very different kind of hotel and there are 2 of these hotels in Delhi. It is definitely a new breed of hotel. I have a good hunch it is a teckie style place. First, a key design element of Steve Jobs is featured everywhere. The curving corners of the I phone, I pad and computers are around every door and window.
The color yellow is ridiculously everywhere – even on the uniforms of the workers and all over the hotel room.
Even the shower head is a circle of yellow!
It continues to crack me up and amaze me at the creativity through-out. There is a beautiful cafe and a comfortable public lounge. The only down side here is the size of our room.- big as a postage stamp! It feels like we’re on a boat, in a tight little cabin. The cheeriness of the rest of the place makes it bearable. I guess it’s part of the high tech business model. It’s tight for yoga, but I open the yellow door to the hall for breathing space when I roll out my mat.
We went out with our friend Sharon last night for dinner- this cool hotel is about 4 blocks from her apt! We were celebrating Allynn’s birthday and we had Indian food and we shared some Indian desserts. We told Sharon our story of the Shit and she said yea- that’s the norm here . Then she told us how once long ago she was invited to perform at a palace on a river and she slept there overnight. The next morning she went for a swim and noticed all this shit floating by and she quickly got out.
Allynn was happy as a pig in Shit reconnecting with his Vast supply of balloons that has been stored at Sharon’s all this time. Tomorrow he is doing a show at the school where Sharon is the dance teacher. I am looking forward to going and shooting video.
Funny, I woke up with a Queezie stomach and diarreah Oh Shit!
We had a relaxing day today at our hotel- a down day is needed now and then on a trip like this. I was So into thinking I wanted a spa day but don’t know the scene here – so I hunkered down with my yoga mat and spaced out. All is well – in a few days we’ll be off on the tour of a life time to Rajasthan . Be Well my friends!
Miss You All ! Love and Namaste, Annie
