To much to blog about and to little time to do it. Christmas letters and phone calls, seeing the slum communities of the boys of the Magicians rugby club, watching Dhoom 3, the boat out into the harbour to chill, sightseeing, shouting Sachin at random Indians and many more have made these last few days pretty special. Obviously the visit to the slum was an eye-opener which had a big impact on us. For me,it made me grateful and thankful for what I have yet also amazed at how happy the kids were considering their living environment. One moment that stood out was when our group went to an area of the slum that had recently been devastated by a fire that had ripped through the community and destroyed 500 houses and killed 10 people. Despite all of this every single person we walked past that I said hello to smiled and waved back. The perseverance of the people was truly inspiring and hard to comprehend. On another note we have comprehensively beaten the Magicians in rugby and cricket as expected and Sachin Tendulkar has been confirmed as India's unofficial God. Looking forward to Goa and chilling out for a few days.
