What's drop-dead gorgeous and stinks like poop and pee? India. I have always had a fake-it-till-you-make-it policy but selling myself as an international producer takes the cake. This was my first assignment. I took more audio on this trip than I did photos but here are the few I got. This might be one of the kindest places on earth. And as expected, it revealed to me the still and quiet place we all wait to find inside ourselves. Oh, India - where even rich people don't have toilets and computers run on 9 car batteries strung together under the front desk.
