My neck aches, and the back of my knees sweat. The fan blows scraps of newspaper across the floor- evidence of the hours I spent packing and wrapping the bits and pieces of my three months in India. Although I’ve been preparing for awhile, it still feels like there’s so much to do. I sit on the […]
