"Now india is also your home" ~ Tara Gandhi

Every morning started out the same, wake up go for breakfast & then driver would pick us up  and take us to hospital for daily injections.  ( ps, I'm off eggs for a while, overdosed at breakfast )! lol
Then we had the whole day to do whatever....... We decided to go to a tourist info centre, so we can get ideas as to where to pass the time. We didn't mention that we were in Delhi for 25 days, but instead said we were here for 10.. everyone said why for so long!!?  all the tourist attractions can be done in 2-3 days. Ugh! Funny cause they were so right!!!

One morning the injections had started to take effect, moody, headache and just feeling crappy! I was grateful  I was doing this away from home this time, there was no need for me to put on the "I'm ok" and smile for work and everyone around me. I could be crap & moody and grumpy and the only person who dealt with it all was my husband..... But after so many cycles he was used to the mental me. Bless him.

One this particular morning I just wanted to go back to hotel and be moosh, not talk to anyone or hear the sound of a busy Delhi, anything! However the day before we spent in hotel and did just that, so felt sorry for hubby, we decided to go to a few museums. Quiet time. Sort of.

Lets not forget we are in India....There's ALWAYS people around, and its never Quite. lol

We started at the Indira Gandhi, museum. Daughter of "Gandhi". In all honesty that's all I
knew of her. But Wow!! what an amazing woman, to achieve all she did and her passion
for her country, amazing!
The museum was once her home, that has now been transformed into rooms of photos and a memorial to her and to her son Rajiv, who was also assassinated. ( not on the same day )
The Garden path she walked down, the day she was assassinated
has been transformed to resemble a glass river, I must say its been done ever so beautifully its
a shame what it represents.

We then made our way to the Gandhi Smriti Martyrdom site.
Ok.......now Gandhi I know!!!!
Walking into the room where he spent his last days,
reading his word that surrounded the walls, looking at the photos of all he achieved, the sense of
harmony and peace entered you whole body, and gave me a feeling that I have not felt in a very long while, a spiritual feeling that I really cant put into words.
A Beautiful garden where thousands would gather just to pray meditate and be in his presents, also marked a beautiful memorial site as to where he was shot and killed.
I was able to enter the prayer room on the gardens, you have to take your shoes off, (as you do I'm most religious places in India )
the paintings are spectacular, almost like a Mosaic with so much colour and variance.
I was so pleased as to how well kept everything was.

Our diver come up to us with a massive smile and said some thing about Gandhi's daughter,
well, at least I think that's what he said, he was so excited I didn't understand what he was saying,
he repeated it twice, but....I got nothing.
As we were walking to our car I noticed a cool 1960 old white car, with curtains on the back window, that wrote Government car.... I said even politician come to feel peace and be enlighten here. That's when the driver said. Gandhi's GRANdaughters car.!
That's what he was trying to tell us, that Gandhi's granddaughter was inside the office.
Weeeellllllll, I wanted to meet her. So, I spoke with the security and we mentioned Australia and Greece, he went inside, and would you know it, she agreed to meet us!!!
She was in a meeting and stopped it, I don't think he was impressed...lol

Her name is Tara Gandhi, she's 74 or 78, petite and stunning!! Her eyes were burning through me.
We spoke for a while, she loved that we were both from Greece and Australia and that we love both our countries, she talked about Gandhi, and how he was as a grandfather, she showed us the spinning wheel he made, and we of course took photos.
I told her about the surrogacy and thats why we were in India, and her reply was,
 "Now India is also your home"

Bless this woman, cause a switch just clicked within me.
