ok, time to 'fess up

[Guest guest]

Ok, time to fess up. For the past

7-8 months I have been "seeing" someone. Last night we took it to

the next step...yes...video chat. He lives in and is from Ajmer

City, Rajasthan, India. He is an international Yoga teacher. He

has 5 ashrams all over India and also works out of Italy, Austria,

Spain and Germany. Matter of fact he's going back to Austria and

Germany for a couple of weeks, soon. In his "main" Ashram, he also

has his home, which he recently remodeled to contain all western

appliances (brought in from Austria) and even western plumbing (if

you know anything about India you might know that they use squat

toilets, and if you know anything about ME you'd know that I can't

use one), so now his house id totally compatible with...me.

If you have seen "Eat, Pray, Love" his ashram is a bit like the

"pray" part of the film, except he doesn't just teach prayer, he

teaches yoga. His students, though, *are* called "devotees" and he

has many of them. They do all the cooking and cleaning and stuff

for him, he does none if it, but that is "the way" there.

His name is a bit long and so I just call him Yogi *grin* it's

easier that way. His name is Ranveernathji. So you see, "Yogi" is

a lot easier. His actual surname is part of his name, and is Nath.

The area he comes from is a more "elite" area then most, and he is

descendent from royalty (that is the "Nath" thing) While, as a

Westerner I do not approve nor adhere to the Indian "caste"

system, I figure if you're gonna fall for someone who *does* then

make him upper caste lol, kind of like the ol' "it is as easy to

fall in love with a rich man than a poor one"

He is planning on coming here in the Spring, that is, if he can't

make it sooner. He has a busy schedule and so many students it is

hard for him to get away to come see me. I'm sure as hell not

going *there*, not unless I know a whole lot more about him, and

not until Robbin is 18. Partly because I know Rob sure isn't going

to let me take him with me and I am NOT going without him. And by

that time Yogi and I will have been together for over 5 years, so

if the relationship lasts that long and is solid, and Robbin is

old enough, well, it might be in the cards. But not until then.

Anyway. As usual, I never do anything either "normal" or "easy".
