It has been a few weeks since the program ended, and I now have some time to reflect on the incredible experiences and growth I have undergone during my time in India.

Leaving India with Leadership Skills
On May 28th, we departed from Delhi to Agra. Although the journey took around 3 to 4 hours, the scenic road made it feel much shorter. Upon arriving in Agra, we checked into our hotel and had lunch there. Following lunch, we visited the Agra Fort, a magnificent structure built by the Mughal emperors. I…

Look at the moving road!!
After a 15 hour long flight, then almost 10 hour bus ride on the curvy roads of the mountain sides, and almost passing out, I come to share some learnings. Turns out theres something called motion sickness, and from I have learned so far, it is when your brain thinks you are moving but the…
