Tomorrow morning we return to Delhi on the first part of our journey home.
It has been a memorable affair and quite an eye-opener about Indian life, religion and culture.
Two things need to be said as a postscript.
Ramakrishna Mission Sevashrama (Charitable Hospital)
At some time I will write one more post. Today I was taken on a tour of the Rama Krishna Mission Hospital here in Vrindaban. The community offers free medical services to those who ask. They have 165 beds in the hospital, operating theatres, pathology labs, research facilities and a full range of out-patient services. The waiting rooms, corridors and consulting rooms were crowded with needy people and I felt as if I was taking advantage of their suffering by taking photographs. The pictures though will be used to illustrate the work of the hospital with a view to fund-raising. Today though I am still suffering from the shock of the terrible state of misery and hope that I saw on their faces. As always it was the sight of the poorly children which really got to me.
The other is to say that the entire blog will reappear when I return home in a new format with some of the pictures to illustrate this wordy tome.
Thanks to those who have persisted in reading. Watch the relevant space on http://www.rssupport.org.uk.
