Namaste! Just a quick entry to let you know I’m fully recovered and feeling well. Besides a sore hand from the “jamming” of the IV, I’m at 100%! They haven’t discovered the rolling IV tree here so every time I had to go to the bathroom (which was a lot since I had a fast stomach), they had to remove the IV tubes and then jam it back it in. We did that probably about 20 times. Ouch.
I’m back to work and wrapping up my last week of the internship. I’ll then stay in India for another month to travel and soak up the last bit of my ‘Summer Sabbatical’.
Last night my host family had a pooja, which is a religious ceremony or blessing at our house. It was quite an event! The occasion was to concentrate their home temple. About 40 people came to the 4-hour ceremony and then dinner celebration. I got to dress in a traditional Rajasthani dress. There were frantic preparations leading up to the event…tent, chairs, water coolers, and fans were delivered, food was prepared, gifts wrapped for the pundits (priests), etc. The successful evening ended with the ladies’ shoes off packing up left overs in the kitchen while I had fallen asleep fully dressed with 3 sleeping children on my bed. I’m so glad I was able to be a part this special event.
Hope you are well.
