My Trip to India Oct 10-Nov 7 2013

Those who know me well know how long it has been that I've dreamed of returning to India.  I grew up there arriving in 1959 and leaving in 1976 (with about 5 years int the States).  Most of the time I spent going toWoodstock  School in the foot hill of the Hymalyas in a town called Mussoorie.  

While I was somewhat curious to head "home" to see my old stomping grounds, my main purpose was to begin a journey of understanding my ancestral connections to India and to discover what India has become.  

Yes, I found there are a lot of changes in India, but in truth the most remarkable thing was how "familiar" it was to me.
