To me, I'm most impressed with how many Indians are able to maintain a sense of grace and peacefulness with life, and they don't place money as their number one priority in life. Instead, they have a richer, healthier spiritual life. I met a lot of people, including many who were very poor. And even though some of them would beg for money, they had a certain gracefulness about them, especially the women. Also, I met people who rather take time off to attend a ceremony at a temple, instead of pushing for more work hours so they could make more money.
