It was literally a fly-in trip ten years ago in the hurrah of out-sourcing. Two days in Mumbai, a short flight to Pune and then back for the flight out of Mumbai. I was there for work and all I really saw were meeting rooms and roads. However, the colours were intense and the blur of the street scenes are something I won’t ever forget. The people were incredibly gracious and the food delicious. It deepened a hunger to go back and really explore it in the future. And it challenged my resolve to expand an understanding, and acceptance of other cultures. Though, after all these years, I still can’t quite get my heart to accept the cast system. I like living in the ethos that we are all equal.
