So today was a very busy day indeed. We left at about nine o’clock to get to the college in order to get the best seats possible to see the President of India herself. We had to wait for a couple of hours before the celebration began, but the wait was made easier by some new friends who happened to be sitting around us.
There were many speeches, but I’m not just saying this when I say that the President’s was the best. She spoke at length about the importance of women’s education, and you could tell that it was very important to her. As a side note, she was a very small woman. She had to step up on a box when she went to the podium. I really identify with her because of that.
After that we ate some lunch and then were invited to a celebration put on by the students. I wasn’t sure exactly what it was going to be, but when I realized that it was dancing I was ecstatic. Indian dancing is a gorgeous thing, and it was a pleasure to watch, truly divine.
Besides being good dancers, all of the girls were crazy beautiful and also incredibly sweet. You could ask any of them which way to a place and they would lead you there and even make conversation on the way. It was really great of them, and something that I know that I personally would not have been able to do.
All in all, besides the jet lag, it was a wonderful day. I look forward to the coming excursions to the college being even greater than this one!
