animal observations

I am avoiding writing about the patients at the home. Not entirely sure why. I hope to finish that post this evening. In the meantime, here are alternate observations.

Crows. They are here. Because of a plethora of previous influences I deem them evil. They're evilest in India. They intrigue me here because they get the closest to regular life then I've ever noticed before. We will regularly see them within inches of us. They are bigger than one might think. And it is because of their proximity that I am sure of their evility.

Monkeys. When in India four years ago we went to a monkey temple: essentially a Hindu temple with a bajillion monkeys roaming freely. Before recently we had not seen any monkeys here. Then we walked to Quest mall one day (to be written about later) and on the walk we saw a monkey tied to a door. We also saw three baby monkeys in a tiny cage close by. Monkeys are not evil.

Rats: this has not been a visible part of our existence here, thankfully. It has been a part of our experience in two other ways: 1) a girl we work with has one in her room. Bleck. 2) we had a conversation at break once and I learned that some people would prefer a rat(s) in their room over cockroaches. I declare said people formally nuts.

sunday at prem dan

Our time in India is winding down. We have just booked flights for Tuesday: we're heading to Nepal for a week. After 5 weeks here, we're okay with our decision to spend one elsewhere. Today we hung out with the little people. We were then going to go and visit the boys home that New Light runs so we sat in the office reading. The plan was to leave at 4:30 or so. At 3:30 the office administrator told us that there was no one available to take us. We were secretly excited but I was also disappointed as I really want to visit this home but we are running short on time. We took this extra gift of time and decided not to go Kalighat. We picked up our pictures from 8th Day and laid low. On Sunday I took the opportunity to visit Prem Dan, the home I volunteered at 4 years ago. I went to the volunteer morning thing at the Mother House for the first time since our first week. I recognized absolutely no one. I suppose that speaks to the overall turnover at this place.

new routine; hanging out with some littles

Our days are fuller now and we think we're okay with that. We still eat toast and boiled eggs in the hotel restaurant daily and we still enjoy that. This is a two-fold blessing: we appreciate having breakfast included in our hotel costs and we appreciate continuing to enjoy the same breakfast. We still hop on one of the same three buses/routes. We have learned that we like one more than the others. Teresa prefers the one that seems to be the fastest. I prefer the one that, I think, has the greatest variety of things to observe. We're true to our personalities. Teresa likes efficiency. I like context, detail and variety even at the expense of time. We still walk by Kali temple. We still walk by a bajillion stands all seemingly trying to sell the same things: sound-making shells, various flowers, brightly coloured powder, incense, bracelets, various icons and other paraphernalia to offer to the god(s) at the altars and temples. We still walk by parades of men dressed in b...

adjusting

It is early Saturday morning (3:30 India time) and I'm awake so I'll write. T and I decided that we were going to go to 6a.m. mass on our first day but that's a long way away yet. We are 9.5 hours ahead here so it's dinner time back home; I still shouldn't be wide awake after sleeping. The heat, time change, significant travel schedule, I daresay my/our age, and my full-throttle living before I left Canada, has really kicked me/us in the butt here. Teresa spent the weekend in the States visiting a friend and I landscaped on Friday and Saturday and we both landscaped on Monday before flying out on Tuesday. We are both lethargic and tired with no desire to explore. And we aren't loving the heat. Friday we slept a lot, watched movies and chilled in our room. At 2:45 we needed to somehow prepare for the stifling heat and embark on the 5 minute walk to the Mother House for orientation, registration and assigning of homes. Thankfully, we made it. There were ...
