I dunked my head in the Yamuna River. Some may argue that that may not have been the best decision with pollution and such. But hey, its the Yamuna; if I get sick I say it was worth it. Quite honestly it was when my head was submerged in the glacier-cold water that I felt fully connected with my environment, and in turn, India. Not sure why, Some men were laughing, but I think it was all in good fun. Later, I was given prayer beads by a Sadhu. They're pretty cool, and I've decided to put enough faith in them to believe that I'll be protected from any harm or bacterial sickness that may come my way. I'm really not that worried though.
