India, you will be missed.

It's hard to believe I'm leaving already. It feels like I just got here and should be staying for another 2 months but the calender says that it's time to go home. I'm eternally grateful to all the awesome people I had the pleasure of meeting on this trip for making it a journey that I will never forget. I especially want to thank Joe Salverage, Mohamed Saleem and their families for making me feel at home here in India. I honestly feel like I have two new families in India and I will always remember their kindness. They took every measure to make sure my time here was well spent and that I was never in need of anything. Thank you.
I had a great time in this country and I'm sure I'll be coming back very soon. From the beautiful landscapes to the people's love for life, I will truly miss everything about this country. Sure, India is far from perfect but that's part of what makes it so great. India is a place that will always remain timeless, yet at the same time it is on the verge of complete social revolution. It will be very interesting to see where the next twenty years takes it and I have a feeling that India will be a place that cannot be ignored. There is still so much that I want to see and do here so until next time, keep the Kingfisher cold, the parada's hot, and the days auspicious.

India, I bid you adieu.

  1. I too want to thank the families of Joe Salverage and Mohamed Saleem for the love and kindness they showed Bryan while he was in India. As his mother back in the United States their presence in Bryan's life in India silenced my fears and made it easy for me to sleep at night. Though Bryan is an adult and very capable it was good to know he felt he had two families in India.
