[Left Page] "Stood where Gandhi had stood and started the Satyagraha movement. Just let that sink in. The tourism of milkey slums, fishing villages, PHP, GHAT. Or simply the way people live. The amazing dinner and nice conversations @ Ziya, the Indian Rest. at the Oberai Hotel next door to the Tridant 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."
[Right Page] "The observation of two days in India + my mind is blown already." - Rights
