Friday 12/18 - Village Life

So I left Mumbai and went to the Surat area in Gujarat.
On the way we saw a fresh accident.
It was so sad to see two lifeless bodies on the ground.
Traffic here is insane.
We drove through Navsari to get to our village Wadhvania.
I am staying with my grandparents.
My gran can’t stand that I don’t eat anything here.
I cannot.... I know I have a weak immune system.
Life in the village is so slow.
My grandparents are so old now.
Yet they are full of life.
We sit in silence sometimes on the swing chair.
It feels great.
Taking a bath here is hard.
They have a red light in the bath!
It’s like from back when we were growing up , those lights we thought
were cool...
Anyways it makes it modern, however you can’t see anything!
Warm water comes in the morning.
You pour water in a bucket and use a small bucket to rinse.
The only change in India I see so far is that the electricity stays current.
Nobody is running after generators.
I walked thru the village yesterday and sat at everyone’s home.
Many people are here to go to weddings.
Everyone thinks I should get married while I am here.
Especially b/c my other gran is coming soon.
Most people are saying it does not matter if the guy is educated.....
Interesting...
Anyways no worries I am not getting married lol.
