"Masala" is a blend of Indian spices. As a friend from India pointed out, "masala" also means a hodge-podge of ideas, maybe with a spicy outcome.
Over the next two weeks, on my trip to India, I'll dish up a masala for you. I'll try to post an update or photo every few days... time, technology and electricity permitting. Look for news of:
* immunizing children against polio in Mewat, an area of poverty and illiteracy
* a visit to the majestic and historic Taj Mahal
* delivery of an SUV for a rescued-boy-slaves' rehabilitation center, the result of a couple years' efforts and a Rotary Mathing Grant
* a trip to Sarnath, site of Buddha's first sermon, and
* a sleepover at a women's shelter.
The subject of some of my upcoming entries--slavery, illiteracy, poverty--can be hard to face. I'll keep these entries as positive as possible--hopeful anecdotes and happy endings--without diminshing the serious nature of the plight of some of our fellow human beings.
Thanks for joining me on this journey!
