Letter (rant) on white people spirituality

Although Rishikesh is beautiful, it is full of western loons, seriously.Lots of shaved heads or dreadlocks and white robes and placid looks -complete fruit cakes. I'm happy they've found something that makes themfeel more fulfilled and better about themselves and that they do theirown thing, I just don't like bing around them because it makes me wantto slap them and say snap out of it. I am very happy I'm leaving thoughb/c the others are checking into an ashram - up at 5.30 silence until1.30pm - while they do yogic cleansing- oil up your nose, swallowing gauze and pulling it back out again,pranayama - basically snotting all over yourself, chanting, meditation,lectures on spirituality and a few hours of yoga. Where is the fun inthis? Why do people sign up for such dull boring and perhaps painful things?Why are white people so stupid? I don't see any Indians signing up forit?For people who are so spiritual they seem to where a lot of make up andputa lot of thought into looking trendy in their ethnic clothes...I say kick the whiteys out of sacred places, they make a mockery.

this sounds so terribly funny. Who 'finds themselves' amongst poverty and colonial aftermath?
