We were both tired and took the day to rest. For lunch we had the best bean dish ever. I was told it had all three pulses in it, which I took as a good thing. Uncle (I refer to her family members and Auntie and Uncle), is a healer in homeopathy and studies veydic philosophy as well as other things. He sporadically meets with patients at the house, and gave me some throat pills as I had been having some difficulty. Anyone who knows me back home knows my nose runs all year, but people are still trying to fix it here. His homeopathy medicine consists of dilute residues in sugar pills you place under your tongue. In the evening we watched a really exciting Cricket match between Chennai Superkings and the Rajasthan Royals. The entire game came down the last pitch when the Royals pulled out a run to break the tie and win. I learned most of the rule for Cricket in this match and I’ll give a breakdown in a talk later for those interested.
