Our guide in Rajasthan, who after a sweaty day shuffling us from palace turret to gilded royal greeting room, saved his best lesson for us. After a passionate sermon pleading for us to use all of our "seven eyes" (2 in the heart/chest, 2 in the forehead, 2 in as the real ones, and one in the stomach) so we could perceive the world "in its true splendor"... he began to pound on his chest in order to drive his point home.

My Camel in Rajasthan! Sure, he spit profusely, had thousands of flies as his close companions, almost threw me off while kneeling down... he was a magnificent desert beast. Didn't even try to steal my water.

The event which I've been working on. The Stage at the Alumni Forum in Mumbai, with the Chairman of the Company following my script...

And the pre-event Press Conference at the glitzy Taj Mahal Hotel in Mumbai. Left to Right- the Marketing Department Head, Professor, Company Chairman, B-School Dean, Industry Expert, S.Korean Winner (Jury Recognition- Enterprise), S.Korean Winner (Enterprise), Indian Winner(Individual).

Sports Day at Lovedale, the orphanage with the most energetic kids in the entire world. Basketball came right after the disasterous three-legged race, and right before the wheel barrow race and spoon race (A spoon is tied to really, really long string. Spoon goes from the botton of one pant leg up to waist. Spoon continues into shirt, coming out opposite Arm Hole. Spoon continues into the next child's pant leg. The process of tying a dozen rambunctious children has begun, racing against the other competing SpoonString team of wildly jumping/cheering children...)

And the day comes to a close, with every kid getting a special prize ranging from pink Dove soap to a sparkly bangles to a stuffed lime green bear. (The little boy who was awarded the pink soap graciously accepted his prize and sat back down, eyeing the race car pencil holder of his neighbor. We secretly exchanged his perfume scented prize with a more desirable Cricket pencil set. It was the highlight of the day)
