Roopa Update


Good news from Bombay. I received e-mails from both Shubi and Roopa. Shubi explained that the doctor has permitted Roopa to return to all of her normal daily activities, including walking and yoga. Her chemo treatment for April 12th was postponed until April 19 due to low hemoglobin. All told, the doctor is pleased with her progress.

Roopa e-mailed me herself which is also a good sign. Before leaving Bombay, she was pretty much residing in her room, not moving about to the upper floor of the condo where the computer was connected to the internet. Today, Roopa will likely receive another chemo treatment. As Roopa put it in her e-mail, "my tools have started working miraculously." She is meditating and listening to mantras from the Art of Living on a daily basis. I will follow-up with any more news as I receive it.

Cherish everyday and life will be full of beauty and enlightenment. It is free to all who desire it because it is a state of being (mind).

Next stop, Siem Reap, Cambodia, home to the lost, but since found, temples of Angkor Wat.
