I am here in Mumbai, after riding a train for more than 15 hours from Goa. Luckily, I was able to ride in the nicer car with AC, otherwise I would have died. The scenery of the countryside was amazing, with so many mountains, farms, rivers, and small towns along the way. It was a worthwile train ride.
Mumbai really isn't a city I'd ever chose to live in, it's far too large, has too much traffic, and sadly, too much poverty. The poverty is heart breaking and at time I have to numb myself so that I don't get too down and sad about it. Again, I am reminded how lucky we are back at home.
I spent most of the day in what is called New Mumbai and tomorrow I am looking forward to some shopping and some more roaming through the city.

As we spoke before you left, you are on a journey of the soul. Yes, we have it made in US and yet so many are unhappy. Why do you think that is? Are people there also unhappy?
