I arrived on the 5^th of October 2013 and was greeted to humid weather and a language that I had never heard. My first impressions of India had been created, a place as tropical as the Seychelles with the looks of Mauritius with cows sleeping on the road. I had just been in china and was used to the constant horns blowing off from the cars around every corner, although I have never witnessed the absolute chaotic driving of the tuk-tuk drivers or the Indians in general. Two weeks on and I can definitely say that if one can drive in India, they can drive anywhere in the world. GVI greeted me at FORT NAGAR at the new home stay that I would be spending my last two months in Asia, in a welcomed fashion. And showed me round the house immediately, making me feel at home the minute that I entered. That week, I discovered the joys of Indian spicy food, before and after. Watching traditional Indian shows and Hindi films never failed to keep me amused as well as the kind tuk-tuk drivers who brought me to school every morning. So far, I have come to conclusion that GVI, really looks after you well. And the best part of the day is when I get to go see the children at SDPY, they are so friendly and are always looking for a high five, wanting to know your name and become friends with you. There is a real brotherly love that the guys show to other guys. They make you feel like you are a part of a family. I have discovered bonding with them easier when I speak about cricket and Sachin Tendulklar, I am surprised how knowledgeable the children are when it comes to that sport.
