Rishikesh. The Beatles, the Maharishi and Me

Rishikesh. The Beatles, the Maharishi and Me

I wanted to see Rishikesh where the Beatles stayed with the Maharishi . . .

I'm wedged into the third-row seat of an SUV between two young girls, Israeli soldiers, and three other young Israeli soldiers, my partner and a Sikh driver with his turban. We're in the Pajar Ganj in New Delhi at a traffic light on the way to Rishikesh when there's a knock at the window.

I see a hand with long fingernails painted red and lots of bangles up the forearm. It's a he /she, a Hijra, India's third gender. The Sikh driver rolls the window down, drops some coins into her palm and we’re on our way to Rishikesh.

Want to learn more about the trip from New Delhi to Rishikesh, the James Bond movie set in Rishikesh and how we got out of Rishikesh? Listen to my podcast, Bollywood and Books - Episode 6.

Just follow the link to my website and the web page for Bollywood and Books podcast. You can also listen on Apple podcasts, Spotify, Audible, or your favorite podcast player. I hope you'll listen in and let me know what you think. Please leave a rating and review.
