This just in from Rajkot

Instead of a faculty meeting which we expected to attend, we were treated to a tour points of interest around the city. This included a visit to Shri Ramakrishna Ashrama, the childhood home of Gandhi, Mahatma Gandhi High School, and a school built by Gandhi which still teaches basic Indian skillls like  spinning and weaving.

We also sampled a local treat - coconut water, straight from the coconut.

Advice from a Guru

The headmaster at the school we were visiting gave A speech about the purpose of a guru. Guru is an Indian word for teacher.

He discusses questions and how to find the answers.
