The tuk tuk rides, the shoes, the clothes, the jewellery were just the start.... India witnessed the end of my endearing and significant relationship with The Italian. Given the sensitivity of the topic and out of respect to both of us, I will refrain from writing any more on this.
India was life changing in more ways I could have ever imagined. It's amazing the "gifts" life presents us, mostly when you least expect them. Mixed emotions is a complete understatement yet a lovely summary of how i was feeling post my time there. It's also why the lack of posts for the remainder of the trip until now. It was all too sad, too raw and too unbelievable. As I've said, life and its journey is full of gifts and while this break up has been hard to accept at times, the life experience which was India is a truly blessed gift. A gift I will treasure throughout this lifetime, knowing that everything will be alright in the end and if it isn't then it isn't yet the end.
India is every bit incredible. I thank her for opening her heart and soul; providing light when there was darkness, laughter when there was sadness, authenticity when there was faux and most importantly, honesty when there was doubt. I will one day return and explore more of this grounding, moving and very real, authentic part of the world. Thanks beyond thanks to Lilly, the Cross Cultural Solutions program, my beautiful roomies Kimber and Anne, my fabulous fellow Lilly volunteers, the darling children, the moorish food, the daily yoga and my ever supportive and loving family and friends for being part of the journey thus far.
To The Italian...grazie tanto.
