Yeah man, that sinking feeling as realisation dawns!!! Not much to say, you said it all bro! What an opening to the India experience...am wondering if it made you bitter and cynical - doesn't particularly look like it so far, you have a lot of resilience my friend!

it definitely made me bitter and cynical. but only for a short while. i met a woman from spain who was living in varanasi (i'll blog about it soon) who told me to not take it all personally. the indian people are just trying to make a living, and i would do the same thing if i were in the same circumstances. bitterness and cynicism only serve you so much: forgiveness and a sense of humor is KEY!
India hits you hard with that lesson, but it's the best way of breaking through and then really getting into the vibe. You get to recognise folk and their games and choose to engage or not - much more fun than being the victim :D
so true!
