The cast and crew.

I got off the airplane around 7:30pm in Delhi. It was dark, dusty, and chaotic. These are the people I traveled with:

Tom: A law professor from San Francisco, whose mission is to get rich people "out of their Mercedes" and into the impoverished streets to see how reality treats the less fortunate.











Angela: A Cambodian business owner and non-profit organizer from San Jose who had all kinds of fun things--like Seltzer water from the airplane--tucked inside her backpack.








Harjit: Our embedded Indian, who helped us translate and negotiate prices on jewelry with the sweetest Hindi you've ever heard.






Rebecca: Assemblywoman extraordinaire, whose talents range from passing laws on domestic violence to passing out Skittles to delighted little Sikh kids.





Hekani: Out "guide," a beautiful lawyer who will someday be the face of the campaign to free Nagaland.






Cherlyn: The youngest of the crew who, at 22, looks like a princess by day and meows like a cat in her sleep by night.









And me.
