India Saved

As you probably remember, my time in India wasn't all that lovely. Or fun. But on my last day there, on my way from Amritsar to Delhi, I met the most lovely family on the train and they honestly saved me from hating India. They were so generous, kind, caring, inquisitive, and sincerely interested in me--not my wallet.

We had a wonderful time sitting around, sharing songs and laughing together. They sang me several of their traditional songs from their home village in Kerala and I sang them a traditional song from my home country too--Lean on Me. :) They told me stories and jokes and I shared with them my photos from some of my travels and throughout India. I will never forget them. Honestly, if it hadn't been for this one beautiful family who showed me the kindness of the Indian heart, I probably wouldn't return. But I want to and I will.
