these same buildings and the same pigeon, who has been keeping me company for 56 days. Last night we went out and had a wonderful time with newfound friends. I wish so much we could have explored Bombay further, because I feel there is so much more to this city than just the grey, dirty buildings, trash and slums.
Looking back, I have met so many people and seen so much. India is far from the story book
India so many of us need to imagine, but rather a mirror, reflecting all of humanity’s traits, including our own. I have cried and laughed, listened and spoken, seen and hidden. The images of the children in Delhi and Mumbai will forever be in my mind and even this morning I wonder, worry, how these little unanimous ones are faring. But I
also remember the smiles and kindness of total strangers who would come to my aid whenever I needed it. My professor told me that India was a land of extreme opposites and it would simultaneously rip me apart and build me up. She was more right than I could ever have imagined.
To all who have supported, followed and encouraged me to complete this
assignment, THANK YOU. I am not sure where this will take me but I hope to see you again India.
