Wednesday!!!!

Today was rather uneventful at work…. Finished my first project up and going to start my second project tomorrow.

Something interesting that I see everyday in a man …. Who is dressed as a women that walks through the traffic wearing a sari (transvestite). Today I also saw this man, like everyday, but I also saw another man but he was in his 50s who was also dressed as a woman… something you can find all over the world no matter what culture. Interesting…

One the way home there was 2 little boys standing at my window in the taxi wanting 1 rupee…. That’s 2.5 cents Canadian…. I said no they kept asking as they always do… then another boy came over and said “Please 10 rupees”…. I started laughing at him and he was laughing, I said no (like always) then he said “fine no money but what about your glasses?”….. I gave him a high five and he held my hand and ran beside the moving taxi for quite sometime…. I cannot get over how happy these little kids can be with no shoes on, no education most likely no bed to sleep in at night… “everyone smiles in the same language…”

The guest speaker was extremely interesting he was from the Canadian consulate and had great insight to India. He has lots of great things to say and some bad. Listening to him really put a lot of things into perspective. He also had many facts about India which was also great to here. “Every 6 weeks a billionaire is born in India…. 1 out of every 5 children born in the world is India… If your not coming to India, India is coming to you!”

Well I will leave it at that! Sarah
