There is nothing like a refreshing hot water shower to fight jet lag! The nine and half hour time difference between EST and Indian Time makes it hard on the body to adjust. According to a WSJ article, "seeking out day light at certain time and avoiding bright light at other times, are some of the main strategies researchers recommend for resetting the body clock faster. Daylight is one of the key clues the master clock in the brain receives from the retina that it needs to resynchronize. In general, travelers going east are advised to seek out afternoon light and travelers heading west should seek out morning light." Unfortunately nothing seems to work for me and I muddle through my entire trip fighting sleep during the day and struggling to fall asleep at night!
I just noticed that the sketch above says July 9 - proof of jet lag affecting performance? I am off by a month!

After a must trip to the 'Mangalore Store" that stocks up on my hometown's specialties, the sweets and savory munchies were fun draw ( and eat!).
Below is the page with both the sketches. So far it has been a delightful challenge to come up with sketches that are different from last year's sketchbook journal :)

These ARE different from your past sketchbook entries. They are delightful in a new and different way! I admire your creativitiy and the way you find interest and a story all around you, wherever you are! Hope the jet lag is getting better!
Loved your jetlag formula,, but nothing works like will power :-)
The mangalore goodies look inviting, the ginger lemon juice from a mangalore store is my favorite1
Nicely done! The water heater is looking pretty anthropomorphized to me -- like it's going to jump off the bathroom wall and star in a children's book :)
