Spending my last day here in India either in bed or on the toilet. We have the whole day free and I can not seem to keep food in today.. not even a slice of toast. I am afraid to venture out as I might get stuck without a bathroom. I am hungry, weak, and tired. I was so cautious.. but there are a few others sick today in our group as well.
In Delhi we had a gym I could run everyday and lift a few weights. It was hot and smelly there but the gym in Delhi is now considered top notch compared to the one here in Bangalore. The hotel gym is on the top floor in a hot room that smells really bad and does not have any light expect for a tiny window. You would have to blow the dust off to find the "on" button for the treadmill here. It was funny in Delhi.. when I would be in the basement gym, the Indian guys who worked at the hotel would come in and turn the radio on for me.. they would give me a thumbs up and leave.. I was listening to mostly Brittney Spears! They must like her here.
This has been an amazing journey. I am so grateful to have had this opportunity to see another part of the world, and a whole different society. India is an emerging market with lots of potential. The quality of the work I have seen here is amazing. I think of products made in China and I think "cheap". I have never been to China, but seeing the pride in the work by the Indians has been eye opening. India is full of color and detail..don't get me wrong though.. there are still some cheap poor quality items on the streets. I wish we could pick up a few pointers from the India culture on apparel. The clothes are so comfortable, and the style so unique but simple.
I can not say I will miss it here.. but it makes me want to explore other parts of the world.
