oh Lotus!



i never would have thought how serving at one place can leave such an impact on me.

Serving at the Baha'i House of Worship a.k.a Lotus Temple in Delhi for about a month plus was just out of this world! literally!

now after 3 months... i still miss it every single day..n im not kidding! it just brings joy and a feeling unexplainable being able to serve and what more to chant prayers inside the temple... i've never loved saying prayers more in my life than when i was there! and the Indian people.. they are so spiritual!
ok not ALL of em..but sooo many of them are! its so easy to have meaningful conversations with the visitors there... everyday i'd pray that i'd be able to have meaningful conversations with at least one person.. and i always got my wish granted :)


but the experience wouldn't be THAT awesome if it weren't for the volunteers! in just a short time, we became really tight even tho everyone was from different backgrounds, but that was even better! all of us jz chilling by the steps, on the temple grounds..always celebrating somebody's birthday or a going away party and going to the bazaars while rushing to beat our curfew..adventures i'll neva forget!

the whole thing was so surreal.. i couldn't believe myself that i was there! i've dreamt of serving there for the longest time ever...n now my dream came thru!

i'm definitely gonna go back there again.. but i also wanna travel India properly and experience it ALL! this time my mind was just focused on service so i really didn't bother to go and see places in Delhi... next time im gonna do both and for a longer period of time... so it's on my list of places to re-visit again!


i miss it soooo much!
