India in Instagram

May 23, 2013 by thirdeyemom

The last three days in Delhi have been a complete whirlwind. We have been on the move visiting our NGO partners for Social Good Moms to learn more about their work on the ground. Being in Delhi is like being at the forefront of humanity. The buzz of mass civilization frenzies around you and engulfs all your senses. There is so much going on at any one moment that it is hard not to blink your eyes in amazement. To […]

The adventure of getting there is half the fun

May 21, 2013 by thirdeyemom

Sometimes getting there is half the fun. Traveling half way across the world is no easy feat and as long as you maintain a positive attitude and sense of humor than it can actually be quite an adventure. I began my journey to India at nine am on Sunday, May 19th and four flights and 36 hours later, I finally arrived at my final destination, Delhi. As always, there were lots of bumps along the way, a few which began […]

Love is universal

January 25, 2013 by thirdeyemom

“Be universal in your love. You will see the universe to be the picture of your own being.” -Sri Chinmoy Something I truly enjoy capturing during my travels are shots of families and love around the world. It reminds us that people are all the same and the basic need and yearning to love and be loved is universal. No matter what religion, race, sex or socioeconomic status we live in, we are all human beings who share our love for […]

India’s quest to become polio free has arrived

March 2, 2012 by thirdeyemom

As many of you know, In January I attended the UN Foundation’s Shot@Life Summit along with 45 other fellow Americans, who will be working hard to raise awareness and funding to provide vaccines to impoverished nations around the world. Since January, I have been steadily following all news vaccine-related and have been blown away by India’s quest to become a polio free nation. In one of the most populous nations in the world that has many places that are extremely […]

Delhi Belly

March 7, 2011 by thirdeyemom

We arrived at the airport in Delhi, utterly exhausted, around 8:30 PM. The supposedly two hour drive from Agra to Delhi, wound up taking over five long, brutal hours. I wasn’t surprised. Nothing surprised me anymore about India. We paid our driver, and then entered the fortress-like Delhi airport, guarded at all entrances by machine-gun clod soldiers. Security was extremely tight in India; like nothing I’d ever seen or experienced before. You aren’t even allowed to enter through the airport […]

Illegally Blond

March 5, 2011 by thirdeyemom

We awoke early Monday morning, our last full day of the trip, to the usual sounds of life in Delhi: non-stop honking, car wheel screeching, shouting, yelling, and godknowswhat noises. I peered out the window of our hotel room and was not surprised to see a fire already burning. Yep. They were still there. The tarp community who live on the dirty, loud street right across from the hotel. The sky was the same gray-blue color. The thin blanket had […]

The Thin Blanket

March 4, 2011 by thirdeyemom

As we descended through the wispy, powdery grayish white clouds, I was confused. It was raining. Or at least I thought it was raining. But it had to be! Why else was everything so dark like dawn. It was eleven o’clock in the morning so the darkish gray-blue sky did not coincide with the time. Yet there was not a drop of rain to be seen sliding down the thick plane windows nor was it predicted to rain. Instead, to […]

Luxury and poverty right outside the door

February 10, 2011 by thirdeyemom

Our hotel was found using Trip Advisor and was a four-star. It was a lovely place with lots of gorgeous, authentic Hindu artwork and a fabulous rooftop restaurant deck where guests were served an enormous breakfast and delicious hot chicken tikka at night. For a moment, you forgot that just outside your hotel window was how the “older half” live (or quite frankly, most of the world). Directly outside the lovely confines of our hotel, the contrast of luxury and […]
