I decided to take advantage of waking up early before the heat and go for a run today. After a few minutes and a phone call to Hamid the gate guard let me out onto the streets. It ended up being a short run, and in the direction I went there was not a lot to see. I went that way because traffic was minimal and I am doing my best not to get run over. I did venture to a near by temple and share friendly hellos with a military convoy before returning to the school/house. In the morning sun I decided to make up a morning excise, read a book and half of another after breakfast while I waited for Hamid to take me to his warehouse.b The day seemed t have gotten away from Hamid and we never would make it to his warehouse on either day instead I ended up taking part in a Youth training session.
The youth training session is two 15 year old boys a 20 year old girl and two of the teachers, Hamid and his wife. They sit around and discuss morals, virtues, and how to help kids going through adolescence adjust to the the oncoming maturity. I have taken part in two of these groups now and they are lively debates over what is good and bad and how to help bridge the gap between parent and child. Early night for me as tomorrow I am going to start joining in with the teacher discussions in the mornings as well as help out in gym classes and then hopefully head off with Hamid to his warehouse and other carpet suppliers.
I must apologize; I know I have been lagging in my posts. This one was simply a short blurb that I wrote days ago and had not gotten around to posting. I have been actually working the past couple days and have not had time to sit and write. I am working on something I think everyone will enjoy "The art of driving in India: The passengers perspective", there are also video's to come and I have more in depth updates I just need to get this one out of the way before I can start posting those. I have also added most of my photo's thus far from the trip to facebook, so if you get a chance I suggest you stumble over there.
