Today marks the day I've officially been in India for four weeks, and have exactly four weeks to go. I can't believe how quickly the time has gone by!
As different as it is here, I have really come to love it in Kenchanahalli. The weather is perfect - yes, it's the monsoon season, but the temperature is great. Everything is so lush and green, the flowers are colourful and plentiful, there are always birds singing and insects chirping.
My favourite though, is when the power goes out at night. When the majority of the compound is in complete darkness, the stars shine so brightly. Never before have I seen so many stars. The sky is a deep black, speckled with hundreds of shimmering little balls of light - in constellations that I've never seen or took the time to notice before. Completely devoid of human noise, the chirping of the insects and the rustling of the wind in the palm trees is so soothing.
But I have to say - highlight of my morning today: HOT WATER SHOWER. That's right - HOT water. First time in two weeks... I never thought one little bucket of water could make a 20-year old woman so happy.
