I’m not much of a blogger – I think I posted once when I was on the first India Immersion trip in 2009 – but I just wanted to say how much I’m enjoying reading about your experiences, impressions and insights. They have conjured up some powerful personal memories of Kolkotta; the sights, the sounds, the smells, the tastes.
Ben, thanks for the links to the Maidaan Trailer. I have really fond memories of the day we spent with Zaf in 09, and it was a real delight to see him and Paul in the video clip. I hope all you blog followers took the time to play the clips. They provide some tantalising glimpses of the craziness and joy of Kolkotta ( and India ) that your sons are immersed in. India can be incredibly confronting but did you notice in the video the beaming smiles on the children’s faces, regardless of the situation and the context ? That’s probably my most enduring of memory of India. You will see some amazing things in India but make the most of your opportunities to interact with the people. Remember, the most important things in life are not things.
I hope you boys are taking good care of Ben, Shane and, of course, Rachel. I look forward to following your progress.
Mark V.
