We’ve all heard stories about the chaotic and overwhelming nature of India. At first, it was kind of exciting because it was all so new, but after a few days it becomes... a lot to handle. During orientation, we were asked to delete two phrases from our vocabulary for the next four months. “I’m frustrated” and “this sucks”. So, I will not say I’m frustrated, I am simply... overwhelmed. That’s acceptable, right?
As I find myself playing frogger (I am the frog) trying to make it across the street every day, and tying my scarf to cover my entire face while I’m stuck in traffic or near a lot of dust/pollution, sometimes all I need is a quiet place to relax and get away from it all.
Well, I just discovered the perfect spot right in my home-stay! There is an adorable little rooftop patio full of beautiful plants and the solar panels that heat our water. It’s high enough to breathe deeply and enjoy some peace and quiet. The perfect little escape.
