Packing list for India; What is on the bag

I swear I did not start this post with "32" in mind, it just happened.

I made a list to make sure I would not forget the important things, and to my surprise, forgetting I was, i.e.: flashlight.

Out of all of them the classic one is "ear plugs", as people in Mysore seem to drive with their hands attached to the horn and they will blow it constantly. I have a feeling they get a secret pleasure out if, as if the sound would provide proof of existence: they make loud noises therefore they exist.  Not a bad way to protect the ego, I suppose, especially in a country where so many Gods are looking at you from every angle. Map photo from here.  Here is the list:

1. yoga books for inspiration
2.   mosquito repellent
3.   mosquito net
4.   amodium (for possible diharrea)
5.   nausea preventing pills
6.   probiotics
7.   yoga clothes
