Signs of being a "Vipasshi"

1. You can sit absolutely still for one hour. Pillows attached, of course.
2. Red pants, green kurta, brown jacket, purple dupatta and yellow umbrella. Enough said.
3. Estrogen overdose.
4. Poha everyday, eleven days, sometimes twice a day.
5. All the poha eating has put you off poha. As a Deshatha Brahmin eating Saada pohe, Kanda pohe, Batata pohe, Dadpe pohe, Taak pohe, Doodh pohe, hating pohe is huge dushkarma. Huge, huge dushkarma.
6. A big ass bell wakes you up.
7. Louie the Macchar luurvves you. Because you don't use Mortein for 10 days. The whole sheel of non-violence thingy. Okay I killed 7 baby roaches so let's just skip this one.
8. Awake before dawn, lunch before noon, and no dinner at all.
9. Warm ginger water, everyday, 10 days, 3 times a day.
10. You realize your body can digest food without an illuminated screen.
11. You are so bored you start practicing a french braid, and by the end of it, you are a pseudo-pro at it.
12. Laundry tags!
13. No mirror.
14. Hindi vocabulary overhaul.
15. Sannatta. Not even eye contact. For 10 days. Then you don't even recognize your voice!
16. All religions start getting referred to as "Darshnik manyata" and all rites and rituals become "karam-kand"
17. Aaaand... you go out in  search of peace and find happiness insted.

:)  
P.S. I absolutely loved my time there, and if there is anyone who'd like to know more about the course and what happens there, I'll be happy to help! However, if you have queries about the technique I'm not experienced enough to answer them.
Drop in a comment about life in there and I'll get back :)
P.P.S. I'm going to write a serious post about it. Eventually. I promise. ;)
