First: In Theatre History class (yes, there is such a thing, and yes, I'm taking it. It's my favorite class this semster!), the last two chapters have discussed historical theatre in India.
Second: I am reading Eat, Pray, Love, one-third of which, everyone on the planet knows by now, takes place at an ashram in India.
Third: In World Religions class, we are studying not only Hinduism, but a broad overview of the culture of India.
India is not a place I ever wanted to visit. Dirty, smelly, overpopulated, cows, snakes, incense, and heat. (Only I don't hold the incense or the heat against it.) But I'm now thinking of India in a different light, one of beauty and religiosity. I wish I knew what all of this means. There are no coincidences
Update as of 9/29. Still on India in both classes. Lost interest in Eat, Pray, Love when author was forthcoming with too many details about Love in Bali. Ruined a really good book.
