My last day at the IIMC was Dec16. On Saturday 17 I flew to Ranchi to see my Indian friend, Sidd. I met him in USA 3 years ago during my exchange student year. In Ranchi I stayed with his family for 4days, 5nights. Ranchi is the capitol of state of Jharkhand.
I really enjoyed spening time with him, his family and with his friends. First it was hard or it was kind of a shock to move to live with them. From poorest of the poor Indians after five weeks to the really rich ones was a shock. The difference is so huge. It's so sad.
We didn't do anything special, it was nice just to see and feel the normal life. We went to a fair, played cricket, poker, went shopping, to his friend's birthday party and also to their family friend's 11year old son's birthday party and just hanged with his friends etc.

Perjantai 16.joulukuuta oli mun viiminen työpäivä. 17.päivä lensin Ranchiin mun intialaisen kaverin Siddin luo. Siddiin tutustuin 3vuotta sitten ollessani vaihtarina Pohjois-Amerikassa. Ranchissa oli 4päivää, 5yötä. Ranchi on osavaltio Jharkhandin pääkaupunki.
Oli kiva nähdä 'normaalia' intialaista elämää, ei tehty mitään erikoista. Oltiin sen kavereiden kanssa, pelattiin krikettiä ja pokeria, käytiin markkinoilla, kaupungilla, niiden perhetutun 11vuotiaan pojan synttäreillä, Siddin kaverin synttäreillä jne. Aluks oli kyllä aika shokki tulla 5viikon jälkeen köyhimmistä köyhimpien intialaisten luota rikkaimista rikkaiden pariin. Ero on niin suuri.
