Sevara, Welcome home. Your story of your experiences is amazing. So thankful you survived to come back and tell us about it.Your words go deep. If only we understood the why of everything. For sure certain things remain a mystery and are left for those with tenacity and determination to seek until they are satisfied.Sad to hear of the corruption touching the beautiful land and people of India. Even more sadly this blatant state of corruption is in most third world countries ,where the people must learn to live with it to survive. Nothing is more moving or frustrating than to see innnocent children and helpless people suffering. It makes you sorrowful inside because you know their help will probably never come. And the real help needed is on a much grander scale than than we have the immediate ability to bring. You are not alone in your desire to bring hope to those who needlessly suffer. You communicated a very real picture of a third world country in very trying times to say the least. An immense amount of the worlds population lives in these same conditions. Despite the level of knowledge and technology in our western society.Imagine ! That we have what they need ,but because of our fear and greed we hold on to what we have for ourselves.......But in reality we are cutting our own throats because we are corrupted by so much greed.Soon what could have been available to all will no longer exist. On a lighter note it was good to see that your humor was not dimmed ,(I loved the story of the bellboy, Atleast he didn't rob you!) This definetly shows the differances of our cultures. People live more commonly there as they depend on eachother more to survive. I'm sure this whole experience will serve you in whatever way in the future you choose.At the very least you have a deeper perspective on life.Your story reminds me, that the eyes are the window of our soul. It seems that what you saw had a very profound affect on you.
