Yea, when you live outside of India these things take on greater magnitude.There's just sooo much suffering here. Somehow ,in India, you become immune to mthe misery around you. I know it's a horrid thing but I'm not sure if i'd be able to keep a grip on my sanity if I felt for every beggars on the local train. sometimes, my apathy appals me and I hate myself. And then i read articles in the local newspaper wherein a beggar was found to own a flat and a substantia amount of money. It's sad how even human despair becomes a racquet. Any ways,I am sure Karolina is very nice and I hope things swing the right way for her. Priya
I know, I almost would rather implode out of . . . frustration at not being able to do anything, than be apathetic. Which is why going back to India is always tricky, on the implosion-avoidance front.
(Also, I explained it wrong: Karolina is this girl I know who's Polish and I was stupidly thinking that she'd probably be able to befriend or at least interact better than I or the midwife could with the Polish in-trouble lady. But yeah. I don't know what happened! Because I've since finished my GP placement. No continuity.)
