India Field Report #1
I had to wake up at three in the morning to catch my first flight to India.
Many people have asked me if I’m worried.
All the people, the crime, the filth, the poverty …
Well yes, there is always an element of risk.
If one prepares both mentally and physically then one can lessen the potential of a problem.
I was worried, but only a little bit.
We flew in and the landing was smooth as could be expected.
The food was mediocre to terrible.
The “Farmer’s Breakfast” was luke warmed over potatoes and two microwaved “egg products.”
(A circular egg folded in half over some cheese and after being thawed was then microwaved to almost warm. But hey, what do you want for close to twenty bucks?)
Sure it was dangerous, but it’s Newark.
On my way to India now. Fourteen and a half hours and I’m there.
As I was reading, I was thinking you were describing a typical day anywhere in the US. And then came the punchline! Bravo.
Enjoy your travels in India. Somewhere I wish to visit. Very well educated people and colors.
