the people of india


"DT" this is the company we came to vist...they love being in shots as well as retouching them.


"Suruchi" This is the person that actually works for our company...An absolutely amazing person that has taught me a lot about the culture,business, food, and history...friendly as can be and as sweet as anangel...she also bargins like nobody's business which was very helpful fora lot of YOUR gifts.


"Indian Family" This is Suruchi's family, who are just as sweet as she is. They really made me feel at home. Her mom is hilarious...likes to party and will not stop feeding us...just to see that kind of family bonding and relationship/hospitality is refreshing to see.


"DT Group Shot" - so here is my crew in India...fun buch very hardworkers...treated me like I was one of their own.


"DT Jump Shot" - oh yes they do enjoy the occasional jump shot.


"DT Dance Shot" - and they can party like it's 1999. This was during our last day there. There was food music and of course dancing. They brought me in the middle and showed me a bunch of moves that I will reveal later...haha.

IM times:
cile:
what up
cile: what you do today
james: oh my...cecile soooo much...you'd love it here
cecile: haha i know i would
cecile: you're there so you can take us back
james: we should try some time in the future...i made so many new friends here...
cecile: like how i took you to hawaii
james: yes
cecile: i want to go back to london
james: yeah these people are pretty amazing...with their hospitality andjust their way of thinking
cecile: fantone should come
james: shopping is nuts here...got so much stuff already...and never had to pay full price...suruchi (amazing girl) bargins like nobody's businessand has the sweetest family took me in like one of their own
cecile: hooray!
james: yeah i thought i was gonna get skinnier here...not gonna happen.
james: it's great glad i chose to go
cecile: haha. good.
cecile: you are humbled by humanity
cecile: and you were ready
cecile: now you know why i'm so friendly to strangers
james: absolutely hit that on the nail
james: for them to just take me in like that with all their hospitality...yeah i will be more like that
cecile: we take too much for granted here just because we're comfortable.
james: spoiled and snobby
cecile: not everyone. people just need to leave their bubble.
james: but the demeaner of the people here is peace
cecile: yes
james: sooooo many people

So the lesson of the day...have an open mind, learn about different cultures, try new things, welcome new people, treat others the way you would like to be treated and learn from them. so I lied...the next one will be about shopping and food....i think oh yeah and my hotel and stuff.
