Today begins a journey of so many "firsts". My first cab ride; it was really quite placid as it was so late at night, though I did have a few glimpses of what to expect. My first taste of Indian hospitality, so gracious, inquisitive and helpful. My first viewing of Indian television, an interesting combination of US and Indian shows. My first Indian breakfast, fresh figs and other fruits, adai (crispy lentil and rice pancake) with amazing dips, watermelon juice, and sweet lassi (yum). I ponder to think how my taste buds will adjust to heat of Hyderabad cooking as breakfast caused me to break into a sweat.
This week is just the start of experiencing India and all that is unique to its culture. I can't even guess how my view of this world will be changed at end of my time here, but I look forward to every moment as this journey unfolds.
