Getting our family to church on Sunday is quite a show. Out we trek, in our Sunday duds, to the road while Dad flags down an auto-rickshaw.
The five of us climb, squeeze and fold ourselves into the back, and then it's a sweaty 15 minute ride out of town to the Mumbai Highway, where our church building is located.
We are met with smiles, handshakes and head-wobbles aplenty. We smile, nod, and sit through what seems like church through a fun house mirror. "Same, same but different."
After church, we discover a Hindu temple with Ganesh all over it, in the back. Because, after all, this IS India.
