Upon returning to Delhi for our final time, the realization that we were indeed heading home in a few days started to settle in. Frantic shopping and creative packing techniques proved to me that I was actually about to leave this country that has slowly become my home. I was leaving the country that I....

Make up your mind with the sand in your shoes I don鈥檛 know where I鈥檓 going. A sapling knows nothing but dirt on the ground, I suppose. The dirt and sand under my feet these days keeps changing, sifting in my shoes. In the village, a circle of girls look up at me with their....

Before boarding the airplane that was taking us from Delhi to Leh, we received specific instructions to not speak a word on the plane. We were going to be landing at 12,000 ft above sea level, and we had to conserve energy to prevent altitude sickness. I don鈥檛 think anyone could have spoken much anyway,....

Kathakali, translated as 鈥渟tory-telling,鈥� is a classical dance-drama that dates almost 400 years ago. Actor-dancers, dressed in voluminous colorful skirts with elaborate headdresses and jewelry, act out climatic stories of love and valor involving frenetic drumming, emotional singing, and rhythmic movements.

I鈥檝e really enjoyed the time we鈥檝e had at the Sarang Center. Each of us takes Hindi class, cross-cultural psychology, and a third class each day. I, along with Kerm, Ryan, Laura, Carmen, Tessa, and Rachel, take cooking class from our Hindi teachers, Anu and Gautham, every day. I鈥檝e really enjoyed class as we鈥檝e learned how....

Namaste to all back home! Greetings from India! I was excited when I was asked to write this week because I knew exactly what I wanted to share with everyone back home. I wanted to share about getting to hang out with some kids from the slums of Delhi. We met with the leaders of....
