It’s not a good idea to generalize – that’s what being in India has taught me.

It’s 5: 06  PM on day 1818 of my journey towards independence and day 4 of our India trip 2015 spent time with family, had breakfast went clothes  shopping at Pothys –  and had lunch at Zam Zam –  one chicken biryani was more than enough for me and my sister (if you want to eat well on a budget India is the place for you).

Today we went to Pothys  and I was pleasantly surprised to see that unlike in my mom’s hometown (which we stayed in four years ago) people here (in the capital city of Kerala) hardly stared at me I was wrong in thinking that the majority of the people I would meet would be unkind to me.
