One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

When I was in India recently I wanted to see rural Rajasthan . As i was on a budget , I approached a tuk tuk driver and requested to take me to the most distant place I could travel within my budget. Agreeing for my request he took me to a village called Natata . It was an amazing experience . It took no time to mingle with the locals. Some invited me to their houses and offered me chilled milk and other sweets . In return I offered Sri Lankan sweets already had in my possession. And the pinnacle of my day tour had been visiting the local primary school in Natata where I was warmly welcomed ed by the two teachers . I was invited to partake the mid day meal with the local children at the school which I gladly accepted. In return I purchased some books from a nearby local grocer and distributed among all the little ones in the school. The smiles I got in return from little ones are invaluable to me and will linger in my mind throughout . (A picture attached)
