I forgot how many stray dogs there are in India. We are (probably rightfully!) told not to approach or pet them, but sometimes it’s pretty tempting like with these little guys taking a nap at Shramajeevi Ashrama,

It was great sharing an amazing meal with such amazing UML students! It’s a pleasure being on this journey with them.

When it comes to India and service in restaurants it’s best to keep the attitude of “it is what it is”. Certain things we take for granted in the states – like bringing everyone’s meals at the same time – are not necessarily how it is done here. But in the end, usually everything works out fine and the food is definitely worth the various minor trials and tribulations it takes to get it. Plus, the entertainment factor of watching my colleague Professor Mehta blow a gasket yet again (how many gaskets does that man have??) is off the charts.
