Stood where Gandhi had stood and started the Sayagracha movement. Just let that sink in.

The tourism of misery. Slums, fishing villages, Phobi/ Ghat, or simply the way people live.

The amazing dinner and nice conversation @ Ziyra, the Indian restaurant at the Oberai Hotel, next door to the Trident where we are.

The conundrum about what to do with the people who ask for money—tearing at all.

We’re taught about charity— to give or not to.

The observation of two days in India, and my mind is blown already.

JODHPUR, India. Impressions. Disbelief at the sight of the Umaid Bhawan Palace. The beauty of the Blue City. Faces. Familiar faces; Eye contact. The little girl in blue flip-flops, crossing her arms, the young man selling bread, our guide, wearing jodhpurs, the exquisite cradles in the women's chamber of the palace, the surprise of walking into the Garden & Cosmos exhibit. The city market and textiles, rings, ribbons, vegetables, rice.

The crazy luxury of the hotel, pool, restaurant & shop. The laughter we share.
