My cousin sent me this wonderful article about India and it totally encapsulates the reasons Why I Love India so much.

There is so much heart, so much love, so much giving and kindness in this land which is often seen as desperate, dirty and impoverished.

I see the hardship in my India, I see the struggles the people go through and of course it breaks my heart.  But above all, I see hope! I see entrepreneurial skills, I see friendship and I see growth!

India has come so far and with it’s strengths in IT, telecommunications and manpower, they are growing and supporting a large part of the world’s personnel infrastructure. I love going there and seeing the change and strength in the people.

ATITHI DEVO BHAVA!

My new favourite phrase. This means – GUEST IS GOD! Read this article and you will understand the meaning. Whether people are rich or poor, they will help and support one another and welcome a stranger as family. I love it!
