1. I have a vision of starting a sandblasting business here. I need to research costs and if I can purchase machines in India.
2. I also need to research schools here to get my degree
3. I should look up cost for hotel residence or small apartment.
4. I need to write David and Vishal
5. Look into NPO's
I did pretty good writing in the journal most days. What have I learned about myself?
1. I was impatient, India certainly fixed that.
2. I was always in a rush, India fixed this too.
3. I had little joy, now I'm laughing at everything.
4. I had no direction, now I can sell blankets and bookmarks. I couldn't envision a future that was solid now I believe I have a future. I can see quite a few possibilities that can sustain me and help the women, men and children of India.
5. I want to make peace with my family.
I stopped by the clothes place and had chai and a long talk with the guys.
Went to BSC for the last time. I had banana pancakes and chai. Mr. Sam, my waiter - gave me a hug and I almost cried. I will miss his warm welcoming smile.
A cab ride later (one hour of this kind of driving - see left side, these are people's homes)...oh yeah, did you notice the honking of the horns? ;-)
I'm on the plane to New Delhi...I already long to go back to Kolkata. Vishal gave me a really nice card. I will frame it, it's beautiful.
(sigh) - that's it. The trip home sucked. I've been sick for 4 days. All my clothes are washed. All my pictures and videos are posted on facebook. I finished putting my thoughts as they were written on this blog. Nap time.
Peace
