Somehow managed to get a post Christmas illness, so I'm a few days late in typing this, but had an amazing Christmas weekend relaxing with my Indian mom and dad, and it truly felt like Christmas with family - sorry mom and dad! It's almost time for the New Year celebrations, so I've uploaded some photos for you all. Hope everyone at home had a Christmas that was as lovely and peaceful as mine. Thank you B and S. X

Sugathi (left), who helped me to pick our five beautiful sarees and cooked amazing food which I miss already!
Bharavi (right), who spoke many wise words of wisdom, introduced me to a super Hindi film (Jab We Met - check it out!), arranged a fun itinerary for me, and shares my love of coffee!
Didn't manage to snap a sneaky photo of Abhilash (Bharavi and Sugathi's son) who ferried me around (taking a motorbike in a saree through Hyderabad was so fun!), is the king of train ticket booking and took us to a Telugu film - yes, two foreign films in one weekend! | |

| One of my new sarees, which Sugathi helped me to sew so that I could wear it on Christmas day. This is the beautiful view from their balcony. |
 |
| Christmas eve, carols at a church, after one of Sugathi's delicious meals. We heard songs from Jingle Bell Rock to Mary Did You Know, my favourite carol from school! |
 |
| Splashed out on a Western meal in a fancy hotel on Christmas day with two of the Hyderabad volunteers, Holly and Alice. |
 |
| Now it's time to go and find out what tomorrow has in store for me. From all the money we've collected, I think that there could be a lot of cake. Wishing you all a Happy New Year! |
