In life, it is important to take a step back, take a good look at your situation, your actions and your environment and contemplate every now and then... I am taking my own advice over the next few weeks.
So much has happened since I last posted. I went to Kolkatta and then to a small village in West Bengal (5 hours away from Kolkatta and 1 hour away from the coast at Dhiga). This place was a true village, which only had electricity the past 5 years. I was the first and only foreigner, let alone American to ever visit the village. I was a bit of a celebrity with everyone following me around and going everywhere I went. The people were so friendly and very gracious.
I've been to Bangalore four times now, as I've made some really good friends there and it's a bit cooler and less humid than here in Goa. It's nice to do some shopping and to eat some western food every now and then. Thankfully, I've made some friends which I'm sure I'll be in touch with for a lifetime.
Tomorrow morning, I'm heading to Mumbai and then to another village/small city called Latur for a few days. Then I'm not sure where else to go...maybe Kerala, Jaipur, Agra, etc..who knows.
More to come...
