1st mistake: Not realizing the curry would come in bags.
2nd mistake: Pouring it into hotel vases and cocktail glasses…only to remember we were literally at a Marriot and could’ve just called room service for actual bowls like functioning adults 🤦🏽♂️

In 1968, The Beatles came to this ashram in Rishikesh looking for peace, clarity & a break from the chaos of fame.
George Harrison was the most spiritually curious of the group and really connected with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi & his whole Transcendental Meditation thing.

Indian roadside c̶o̶c̶a̶i̶n̶e̶ sugarcane juice was so good we had to upgrade the rating from a 9.5 to a perfect 10.
50 rupees a glass... which is about $0.60 cents USD.
Fresh, sweet, and an excellent natural electrolyte.
Every time we find it, it’s 2 glasses, no debate.
Way better than lemonade IMO 😍🇮🇳🔥

I planned this trip for 6 months, but 24 hours before my flight, everything went wrong ✈️
My passport, credit cards, and $2,000 in cash were stolen by the cleaning lady at my Airbnb — less than 24 hours before my international flight to Gabon 🇬🇦

I mean, we got the Scoville scale for spicy peppers & the Richter scale for earthquakes…
So where’s the Hood-o-meter™ to settle who’s really got the HOODEST hood?
