I've interviewed Maya about her first impressions when we first landed in Chennai, and then again, today. These are all her words verbatim. I actually had to look up what a jungle fowl is.

Q: Maya, what do you think about India?
A: I like it. Everyone is nice and everyone can speak English. Everyone who was born in India has dark skin. And some people have such dark skin that they look like Africans. Lots of Indian ladies are wearing saris. And nose-rings.

Q: Maya, what do you think about India?
A: Everyone in India is very very nice. Kids can ride motorcycles here in India. And I've already got two pet love-birds, one male and one female, and we hope to have some babies. There are many pigs, and goats, and cows, and chicken, and roosters. And sometimes you will see jungle fowl. But you can only get your hands on the jungle fowl on the dinner menu.
