Health education in a village

We had a health education class in a village in Bihar with Japanese research team (public nurse, doctor, nursing school teacher, etc). The public nurse checked babies and found they were fine even some babies were born in early time, She told that they are growing in their own speed with mother's love. The doctor checked pregnant women's blood pressure. We explained the attendee(village women) the reason why we are doing this program, and how important it is so that they could understand the importance of enhancing knowledge for mothers to take care babies more healthier and more safer. The public nurse said that the most important thing to nurture a baby is mother's love. 

Marriage ceremony

Our marriage ceremony was held in vishnupad temple in Gaya.

From morning all relatives(my husband's) and my parents and I were waiting for rain stop.

After rain stopped, the marriage ceremony has been started.

It took more over 5 hours to have finished.

The day, bride and bridegroom can not eat meals but eat fruits or sweets.

I was so hungry and seeing hindu ceremony went on like endless.

The ceremony was just like what I saw in the film "Gandhi."

We walked 7 times around the fire, having the cloths of both bride and bridegroom knotted.

Then we exchanged garland each other.

Living in India - as a Japanese

I love the salmon pink colour sunset in India. 

It is good to spend a time with family drinking chai (milk tea) in every morning and evening.

In India, time flows slowly than other country like Japan.

I came from Japan.

I married an Indian and live in India.

I live with my husband's family all together.

The number of our family members are more than 25 persons.

I would like to introduce my amazing life in India.
