Contrast

I have witnessed sights that epitomize the tremendous difficulty that people live with in this country, but also the joy that the majority of these people have for life. I have seen the beautiful monuments, such as the Taj Mahal and Victoria Palace, that India has to offer, but I have also seen the cramped conditions of the slums. I have dined in the same place as India's elite in the Taj Mahal Palace hotel, but I have also eaten with orphaned kids striving to make something of themselves at Future Hope. I have been swimming in Water that feels so warm and so clean in Goa, but have gagged at the unidentifiable objects floating in the murky water of the Ganges. This has truly been a trip of contrast.
