It has been a little more extreme than I anticipated. To help me stay positive throughout the nine months I decided to start a list of the things I like about Patna. Things I am experiencing that I don’t want to forget. I plan to update the list throughout my time here….
· The hot rotis and morning Chai are absolutely divine
· Surprisingly, despite Bihar’s reputation there is a very limited divide between the help staff and management. Perhaps it is an indication of just the people I work with. The drivers, cooks and staff are given the same dignity, the same type of ownership as the managers. They are invited to the hotel celebrations, they sit with the entire group and are respected as part of the team from the very top. This is rare in India and an incredible testament to the values of this organization.
· There is Hindi music blaring at odd moments of the day and night. Its affirmation that I am in India!
