50 minutes silent car ride with Raqib Ali to Ghaziabad, a suburb of Delhi.
2am: we crossed the entrance gate of Neelpadem Kunj.
Only when Dr.Nandy greets us did he say that we were picked up by our supervisor, Occupational Therapist, Raqib Ali. Did we get the chance to sort out those details?
7am. Emma is waking up to the sound of the nearby ashram - Confused as where she was in the world - WHAT IS THIS?! Steph had been awake for the last couple of hours, woken by the 4am meditation.
At breakfast, we met Chitra, the lovely and endearing Auntie who has graciously let us stay in her apartment during our placement. Then came the formal presentation with Dr.Nandy and his wife, who curiously asked us about our cooking skills – more precisely: “Can you boil an egg?...Oh well, if not, there is Dominos Pizza closed by.” Hahahaha like we were to eat pizza everyday! With Dr.Nandy’s daughter, we explored our surroundings and bought a few groceries.
Jetlagged, we fell asleep at 5pm, missing on Dr.Nandy’s departure for the next 4 days.
