Day 1: The flight from JFK to India was filled with cheers. The pilot announced that today, August 15th, was Independence day. He announced that for 20 cents you could purchase a kite to fly in honor of the country's freedom.

I was picked up at the airport around 5 and observed the many kites that filled the air. Truly beautiful, admist the hustle and bustle of India. We are told not to focus on the poverty, which there is much of. There is so much beauty to see though... the colorful saris adorned by women.

I hardly packed much on this trip, and am going to focus on being minimal.
