So, this may be revealing far more than I had ever intended to open up in a public forum, but here goes.

I was flying in BusinessFirst from EWR to BOM. I had a five class meal, starting with shrimp appetizers and finishing with a Sundae. And here I complain about some young boy.

All of that fell into sharp relief compared to what I saw in the streets of Mumbai. A young boy about the same age, but this one was dirty and bone thin, begging for food in the streets. It makes me ashamed that I was complaining about something that seemed so insignificant in retrospect. I *knew* that such things exists everywhere in the world, even in the US. I never thought to compare their hardships to my "hardships".

I'm young and naive, but I do try to learn from my mistakes.
