We are so blessed!!!  Jana worked with a guy at BCG named Ganesh Mohan.  His wife, Shefali, lives in Pune with their triplets while Ganesh is working in Dubai (still for BCG).  They have graciously opened their home to us.  We have shared wonderful home cooked meals, chai tea and wonderful stories.  Shefali lives with her brother and his wife, her mom, and the three kids.  It is SO cool to be a part of their family for a few days.  They have made India come alive for us.  We owe them more than we will EVER be able to repay. Watching their joint family work was just amazing.

We have enjoyed playing on the floor with the kiddos so much.  They are just a joy.  The kids are about 2 and they understand about 5 languages. They have the best smiles and laughs, and we love playing puzzles with them.  We might have even learned some Hindi!?  (not much but some!) 

We have gotten caught up on lots of internet, blogs and emails which has been very nice.  Layton had a great adventure of getting his haircut too.  They gave him a head, back and neck massage which he loved (except for the oil they have to use.)  They also use scissors instead of clippers too! The greatest part is it cost him 50 rupees which is about $1.25!  WOW!  
 
Jana also really enjoyed the evening walks with Usha, Shefali's mom.  She moved so quickly in her sari and tennis shoes!  She made the walks twice a day and it was so fun to be able to visit with her. 
 
After we came back from Aurangabad, we got to see Ganesh too.  We were glad to have gotten to see him too!  Thanks for the dates.  They have been a great addition to our traveler's diet.

We again had SUCH a wonderful time with Ganesh, Shefali and family.  Ananya, Aadit and Arjun, their triplets, are just great kids.
