Surviving Hubli

Each day I realize that I cannot take for granted however we lived in Bangalore to be how living in Hubli is or will be. There are no meter run autos, we haggle over the price of everything, and culture in general here is quite conservative....coming from Bangalore might just make it worse compared to just showing up from abroad....you come with higher expectations. Needless to say my adjustment here has been harder than Adams'. On the flip side I'm so happy to have Adam, he's been like the yogurt that you need after a spicy meal! ;) And the essence of India still runs thick...people are always willing to help, share, smile, and be curious....seeing kids running through the streets saying "hi...bye!" or the watchman who always smiles with a "Namaskara" is heart warming. - V
