In a nutshell, India...


Throughout my time in India I kept a record of just general, little things I noticed about India.

India...

is colorful * is dirty * has crazy roads * has a strong atmosphere of spiritual thirst * is full of poverty * has beautiful tea fields * screams out for truth * has nutso rickshaw adventures & serves chai that is amazing and that is horrible * is opening my eyes to my abundance of blessing, especially materialistic blessing * namaste * has a group of people passionately pursuing their freedom, GORKHALAND * has so many people who just want to be seen by someone, anyone * has mountains that will kick your butt * has cows that are all over the roads, and always have the right of way * shamelessly stares at white people * taught me to eat with my hands and use a squatty potty * himalayan mountains are beautiful :) * is the place for westerners to go and constantly be watched * has a strong asian influence in the northeast * has people who always spit * n people have beast calves from their squatting skills * n christians know what it means to be minority * prays like the future is dependent on it * nepali people are the best bobble heads * n people know what it means to give of their first fruits * loves its rice and dahl * can double dish towels as head scarves? * kicks their dogs * knows how to dance in worship * carries its music on their mobile phones, always having it playing * has beiber fever * roads simply don't have rules, only horns * teaches patience and a life without a time table * drinks tea before 6am? * knows how to live with so much less * knows how to look good, even in a remote village * has ballin' vibrato * LITTERS * is in the same time zone, except the whole thirty minutes thing? * wants to take a snap with me * is excessively comfortable with boy on boy contact * expresses itself on giant bumper stickers on every car * does not have women drivers
