JOURNAL ENTRIES FROM INDIA

Before I get started with photographs of the cities I visited, here's a sneak peek at some of my personal journal entries from India:




1. Donations and purchasing artwork by the children.
We visited Asha Ka Jharna (Fountain of Hope) which was one of my favourite heart felt moments. I was so happy here, to see the kids smile, to watch them learn and concentrate so hard, to hug them, listen to them read poems out loud and a particular boy who did a little bollywood dance.

2. Valentines day in my favourite city / three special petals squashed in my journal.
After a little stroll around the markets we took a tuk tuk up to the fort, had a light dinner and some masala chai (of course) while watching the sun set from aerial views of Jaisalmer. While we walked back down the markets, p sneakily picked up a rose from an indian man and gave it to me with open arms.

3. Drawing maps / my new definition of love.
Sometimes you can fight over silly things in a relationship. But true love never gives up.
After a short silent treatment. A tuk tuk spoke these four words to me and I couldn't agree more.

4. A short but sweet day in the blue city / polaroid views.
Indian desserts, tea tasting (and purchasing a heap of masala chai spice to take back home), blue hearts... I felt a little unwell at night by the campfire, but it was nothing a nice cup of warm tea couldn't fix.

    1. I loved it! I've always had a journal since I was younger so I guess it's just second nature to me. Sometimes it gets a little tricky but the 7-8 hour bus trips kept me at it :)
