I am headed to India on Friday (12-11-09) for the second time in my life. I went for the first time during high school in 1999, when I fell in love with this lush, colorful country. I did not realize it would take me ten years to return.

Come join me on my 'yatra' as I embark on one of the most challenging journeys of my life… volunteering in a foreign land.

I hope to share the highs, the lows, and everything in between. My goal is report in each day; however, there are no guarantees I will find internet everyday. Regardless, try to stop by this page and take a look at India through my eyes.

Goals

To volunteer and conduct due diligence for my sorority's national beneficiary, Pratham.

To volunteer with Nanubhai Education Foundation, bringing urban education to rural India.

To meet my grandparents for the second time. Record their life history. My inspiration spawns from http://www.storycorps.org/ . This is the largest oral history project of its kind. I want my family to be remembered for years to come, and also learn about my family history and family tree.

To go to Surat district and spoil my niece Tulsi, nephew Shiv, and nephew Veer, whom I have never met.

To laugh with my aunts, uncles, cousins, and all extended family.

To run into other NRIs who are there for wedding season, well the ones especially there for Jiggy & Rina's wedding of Fort Lauderdale.

To give a little extra, and give up a little bit more here in the states.

Oh there are so many more… I have been planning this since undergrad.. And now you never have to hear me say you'll see me in India in 2009. It's been all talk for one too many years.

New Fellows in India for a year!
