Blissfully unaware, it is true that what you don't know, won't hurt you... My first trip to Bombay, India, can only be described as an eye-opener.

An odd mishmash of extreme poverty and simple luxury that we take for granted. The glaring disparity of social statuses. Traffic, in my opinion, was total chaos with the sound of car horns blaring incessantly in the background.

Children tugging at your clothes and begging for anything that you can give them. The most vivid image I have was of this little boy. His face was expressionless, his gaze was blank and he was carrying a baby under one arm and swinging him around carelessly like a rag doll. I was quite disturbed, it is hard not to feel anything.

Next time, I will just stay in the hotel.
