What should really happen "Interveigins"....

Today was an unbelievable day.

Just to recap a little, after leaving Cochin we moved over to the other coast of India to a city called Pondicherry, a nice beach town with a fair share of tourists and ex-pats residing therein. Next door is a place called Auroville. Many Jews especially Israelis living there with some very interesting views on life. We won't go there.
We stayed there for about two weeks and met with many people of all backgrounds. Our stay was brought to an end due to an impending jewelery in Bombay which we were requested to be here for. Once again we made travel arrangements to fly from Chennai (about 2 hours from Pondi.) back to Bombay.
As long as were going there we thought we might as well hang around and see the place, and as it turns out its a great town, perhaps the best city in India. When I called Rabbi Holtzberg to inform him of our plans, he told me that there is a Jewish family, with whom he is in contact, who have just had a baby boy and if we have the time to please stop by and see what they need. So I gave David a call and he got very excited when i told him i'm from Chabad. "So your'e coming to do the circumcision?" (Shechita, maybe soon. Milah, no way.) When I said no he was a bit disappointed but still eager to see us.
B.h. we arrived safely at his place and we went inside and sat down. He lives in a beautiful apartment in the city center, very warm (no pun intended) and very pleasant. We started talking and it turns out that they just had their first child, a boy, and there is no mohel available to perform the bris (on time) which is why he got so excited at the start. Anyways, we chatted a bit, got to know each other a bit. He began telling us about the economic boom and the different ways how India can still improve even though they have come a long way and about his job which is to finance and invest in the rural towns, basically setting up a profitable business for the locals which they can eventually buy off on their own. We touched on other subjects and topics amongst them what we are doing in India, the Jewish community in Chennai, and other important stuff.
After about an hour, he told us that he had to go to another appointment soon, so we offered to put on teffilin with him, to which he readily agreed. Afterwards we gave him a yarmulka from Chabad which he promptly perched proudly on his head for the duration of our stay. (after we left i couldn't say.)
I would like to take this opportunity to thank David for allowing us usage of his car. Thankfully we were able to sight see just a bit and visit with another yid before going to the airport.
With that we moved on to the next leg of our excursion.

To sum it all up, when we asked him what its like to see another Jew in Chennai he said, "It's absolutely thrilling."
