Hi Avila, it's great that you've started a blog which informs us of the experiences you are having in India. We met in Huddersfield, UK during your visit here. I am pleased you are having a wondeful time and that people are hospitable and looking after you.

Keep up the blog and give my regards to Maheshbhai, Nilesh and rest of team at the school.
