Headed for Bangalore

In the early morning hours we will be saying “Phir milen-gay!" to Sushil as we head to Bangalore.  The Indian have greeting us with great welcome and been very gracious.  Delhi and Agra have shown us the poverty, the poor infrastructure, the lack of sanitation, and the karma the Indians believe have shaped their lives.  As a foreigner in their country it is hard to understand their happiness, their smiles, their harmony.. Our group sat down for an open dialogue last night to discuss our feelings, our thoughts on this journey in a country that has formed by religious faith.  This contrast between the cities of Delhi and the rural villages to Agra only can be really understood by seeing it first hand.  You cannot smell, taste, or hear the country of India in a picture.. and you truly cannot understand the driving experience until you are playing chicken with every other vehicle on the road!  With that.. Sushil told us that you need three things to drive in India. 

1. a good horn.. 2. good brakes.. and 3. good luck (Karma!)
