Tata from India

Our last night in India, and so we come to the final post.rnrnThis morning, a few of us got up for 6:00 Mass at the mother house, and then went on to Nirmal Hiraday, the Home for the Dying. Although at times it was trying and uncomfortable, the sense of satisfaction at the end of our shift made it worthwhile.rnrnExcept for a bit of last minute shopping, today has mostly been spent packing largely inflated suitcases and preparing for the 24 hour (!) marathon that is our journey back to England. We leave you with a few last photos from throughout the trip.rnrnrnrnrnrnrnrnWe also have a short story for you.rnrnOne day, an Englishman was in India, and approached an Indian man cutting the grass. The Englishman had got a bit lost, and so asked, “What is the name of this town?”. Now, the Indian man didn’t speak very good English, and assumed that he had been asked “When was the last time you cut the grass?”. He answered “Kol cutta”, meaning “I cut the grass yesterday”, and this is how Calcutta got its name!rnrnThank you very much for sharing our journey, and make sure you check back to see all of the photos from our amazing adventure!rnrn
