Final Night in India!


Here's a group shot from our final night in India ;( We spent the evening with Mona Pande on the rooftop of his building. It could not have been a better finally to our time in India. We got the chance to discuss life in India after Babson with a few Babson graduates. Looking back on the trip I felt that we kind of took for granted the true hospitality and generosity that the people we had met offered to our group. No matter who we met we were always treated like honored guests. I don't think we ever went more than a hour or two without getting tea and some sort of food....which didn't help my cause to lose some weight. Overall I left the country with a feeling that I had more in common with the people than not. I just might even be able to live here for some period of my life. Who knows where life will bring me!

Britian...or India


You can really see the British influence in Mumbai. Many of the buildings are in the style of Queen Anne. The buildings definitely standout on the street and give the city a kind of majestic feel. This picture was taken from the entrance to the Economic Times of India. I believe the building is the train station. This one one aspect of the British rule that seems to have had a positive impact on the city.
