Lalita Kayi came to India 10 years ago to study yoga and meditation. How did she end up in a forest?

Mystery surrounds an American woman who was found chained to a tree “screaming” in a forest in the western Indian state of Maharashtra.

Lalita Kayi, 50, was discovered a week ago in the dense forests of Sindhudurg district after her cries for help were heard by shepherds. They alerted the police who sawed off the chain and rescued her.

Ms Kayi, who appeared completely emaciated, was taken to hospital. Her physical health has since improved and, on Friday, she was moved to a psychiatric facility for further treatment, doctors treating her told the BBC.

In a written statement to the police, she has alleged that her husband “chained her and left her in the forest to die without food or water”.

    You would be surprised at how terrible everyone is at passive time estimations without clocks. I literally had to take time out of my day to get this correct.

        No do a choice of intervals like any of these 1-2-5-10or15-30-45-60 intervals and you will get the rough times but remember this you can NEVER look at the clock while you are timing yourself internally. Just put a timer and try and predict how closer you are eventually you will get really good estimates. I have had a 2 hour wait and was only 15 minutes off it’s actually pretty good.
