Amazinggggggg experience even better than Costa Rica actually. And am getting a crown replaced for 24,000 Rs rather than like $3500, I could cry.

Vrindavan is testing me but I am trying to persevere 😅😅🙏

Following the Man City game from a temple, that’s probably bad but I have two religions I guess

Ha yes, when I’m writing something, say, for a nonprofit newsletter though I worry… but whatever

As an emdash user est. 2001. Here is my take on using them.

Screenshot from the movie Office Space. The character Michael Bolton upset that a more popular Michael Bolton shares his name.

I used to like using the em dash, but now I have a paranoiac thing where I go back and delete them so people don’t think I’m writing AI slop

Oh yeah, it’s so cringe and awful to take pics with people like that… however the people here LOVE asking ME for pics 😅 today was a low count but I average like 10 a day at least lol

Arielle Castillo @ariellecastillo.bsky.social · 2d

Only a small haul of photos today, perhaps because I was not in public as much

Arielle Castillo @ariellecastillo.bsky.social · 3d

Again, don’t know these women but now when people ask for a photo I’ve started also getting one on my phone haha

The month of November 6 years ago everyone was sharing their #gratitude daily. Then when thanksgiving ended they stopped, To encourage people is how I started a three years daily gratitude post

Maybe for November, write them down in a journal and share some on a weekly Thursday posts for the month

Weirdly a bit sad to be missing Halloween in the U.S., not because I personally do much on the day usually but I like the decorations and vibes etc.

So if you have cute animals in costumes or decor, please send me it 🥲

This is my favorite creature at the closest cow sanctuary though. A Nilgai, Asia’s biggest antelope.

Isn’t he cute!!!! It’s like a confused cow-size deer

After!!

Arielle Castillo @ariellecastillo.bsky.social · 6d

Actually are you from Nepal? For about a week I was on Yatra with a temple congregation from Pokhara :)

Arielle Castillo @ariellecastillo.bsky.social · 6d

Thank you!!! 🙏🥺 I have been lucky enough that this is my third time but, I think the first two were too easy so the Dham had to challenge me a lot this time.

Arielle Castillo @ariellecastillo.bsky.social · 6d

There are a lot of nice cows. The monkeys can all go screw themselves though

Arielle Castillo @ariellecastillo.bsky.social · 6d

New world monkeys are so much cuter and less menacing than the ones in South Asia :( like in Costa Rica they just do physical comedy. Here they do crime and extortion

I am, mostly, but it varies from moment to moment lol

Arielle Castillo @ariellecastillo.bsky.social · 6d

Also today we were serving out free food on the pilgrimage street and a bull tried to charge us :)

A large monkey also tried to attack me for my water bottle like two weeks ago, and I just threw it so he wouldn’t scratch me, and he ripped the cap off and chugged like a person.

Incredible

Thanks, the day in the photo was nice, I had started to be able to see in my left eye again 🥴

A low point was like eight days into my illness, I almost went over the edge when I realized for two days I had been drinking bootleg bottled water 🥲 brand should be “Bisleri” lmao I bought this from a pharmacy!!
